Begunje (PGD Begunje) - Sankaška koča (Petrova pot)

Access to the starting point:
Exit the Gorenjska motorway at exit Radovljica or Lesce, then follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When you arrive at Begunje na Gorenjskem, park in the large parking lot between PGD Begunje and Gostilna pri Jožovcu

Path description:
Near the fire house, you will see signs for St Peter's, which direct you to the asphalt road that continues through the village. From the nearby crossroads by the eco-island, follow the road slightly to the left, and at the next crossroads slightly to the right up towards St Peter's. Before the "last" house, leave the road and continue along the beaten mountain path, which ascends through a hay meadow with views as far as Triglav. At the top of the hayloft, the trail enters the forest and begins to climb steeply, following the markings at the crossroads. Higher up, the stations of the cross also accompany us along the way, and we continue to follow the fairly steep path all the way to St Peter's Church, which is located on the lookout hill above Begunje.
From the church, turn left in the route Sankaška koča, and follow the wide and winding cart track, which runs to the right of the airstrip and the lookout point. When the cart track enters the forest, continue along the left-hand cart track, which continues on a slight ascent. In the last part of the section, cart track becomes a little steeper, and we quickly reach Sankaška koča, from which a fine view of the Julian Alps opens up.
