Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič) and then continue in the direction of Klagenfurt / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel, the road starts to descend and we follow it to a junction where the road to Žabnica / Bodental turns left. When we arrive in the above-mentioned place, we park in the large parking lot next to the Sereinig inn. There is also a chapel at the starting point and a small ski slope in winter.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take route 2, which continues along the fenced garden and takes you across the meadow to a small crossroads in a few minutes.
From the crossroads, continue along the forest road on the left, along which you will soon see a sign for path No 12. The forest road slowly begins to climb and soon turns into a forest, through which it then climbs for some time. Higher up, the forest thins out, opening up some views, and the road then crosses a torrent, beyond which you reach a memorial to the two downed airmen. Just above the memorial, the road makes a sharp left turn, but we leave it just here and continue straight up the marked mountain path, which returns to the road at a small wooden hut. We walk along the road for a while, and then the signs for path 12 direct us right to a nearby torrent, which we then climb along for a short time. From the torrent the path passes into vegetated coppice and, higher up, joins the fainter cart track. Continue briefly on cart track, then the marked path turns to the right, where it becomes fully surfaced for a short distance.
After a short crossing, you arrive in a small undistinguished valley, which starts to climb steeply. Higher up, the path turns to the right and after a few minutes makes a left turn, taking us just a little higher up to the ridge of the Burnt Edge.
Here we continue straight on (sharp right Požgani rob 5 minutes) and continue along the ridge for a short time, then the path turns slightly to the left, where it climbs crosswise through lane dense forest. The path climbs steeply higher up for a short distance, then turns right and suddenly lies at the edge of a meadow. Continue along the edge of the meadow, crossing a pasture fence and climbing for some time along a wooded ridge. Continue climbing gently, then steeply for a short distance. The steepness quickly eases and the path passes Bela peč on the left. After a short crossing, we come to a faint saddle, where a less well-trodden path branches off sharply to the right to Bela peč, and we continue straight ahead on path No 12. The way ahead leads us out of the forest onto a small and relatively steep scree slope, which we follow up to the entrance to a rubbly ravine. Here the path climbs even steeper and then leads us to a ridge where it turns to the right and lays down. The ascent through lane of dwarf pines and the increasingly scenic route quickly leads to the 1789 m high summit.
