Koprein-Petzen - Petzen (Kordeschkopf) (Peca (Kordeževa glava))

Access to the starting point:
Cross the Jezersko border crossing or Pavličevo sedlo to Železna Kaple, and there, at the beginning of the village, you will see signs for Lepena/Leppen, which will direct you to the right. The road then leads through the village to the village of Pod Peco/Koprein-Petzen, where it starts to climb steeply. The road then climbs higher and leads past the starting point for Topica/Topitza to a small church. Continue along the main road, which loses its asphalt coating and starts to descend only a short distance afterwards. Only about 100 m further on you reach a crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of Pece/Petzen (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) along a road which leads you only a little further to a ramp, near which you park.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the forest road closed to traffic, which leads us in 5 minutes of gentle descent to the crossroads at the beginning of mountain pasture Luža.
Continue left in the direction of "Petzen" along the road which starts to climb at the edge of mountain pasture. After about 20 minutes of walking, we will notice on the left side of the road the mountain signs for Pec, which direct us sharp left to the ascending cart track. The cart track cross-climb quickly leads us to a newly built forest road, which we follow to the left. After walking along the above-mentioned road for some 10 m, turn right onto the ascending cart track, which ascends through a spruce forest. After about 1 hour's walk from the starting point, rejoin the macadam road, which leads in a few steps to mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From mountain pasture continue along the marked path (originally still a road) in the direction of Pec. After some 10 steps the road turns right and we continue left on the footpath, which starts to climb moderately through the forest. The path gradually starts to climb steeper, and it leads us higher out of the forest to slopes covered with dwarf pines. Next, we climb the increasingly scenic slopes of Peć, following a path that leads us over time to the main ridge, where we also reach a crossroads.
Continue to the right in the direction of Feistritzer Spitze and Pec (to the left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on a path that completely lays down and continues first along the precipitous ridge and then along the plateau world of Pec. A little further on, the path from the lower station of the cable car to Pec joins us from the left, and we continue straight on along the path, which climbs slightly and after less than 5 minutes of further walking leads us to the Bistriška Špica (Bistrian Spit).
From Feistritzer Spitze we continue on the marked path which starts descending along the ridge (direction south-east). After a short descent the path passes between dwarf pines, which gradually starts to climb towards one of the peaks in the Pec mountain range (unnamed on the maps). From the summit the path descends a little and leads us to the place where we reach the state border. The ascent continues along and along the border ridge, following a path which leads to Končnikov vrh, a moderate climb over a pleasant grassy slope. From Končnikov vrh continue on the marked trail which starts descending towards Knips saddle. After a few minutes of descending, the path from the Peca ski resort joins us on the left, and we continue slightly right along the path, which quickly leads us to the information boards at Knips saddle.
From the saddle, continue straight on in the direction of Peca and the home at Peca (to the right, the Topela valley) along a path that first ascends gently and then descends to the saddle between Velika glava and Kordeževa glava (Kordeževa glava). From this saddle, the trail starts to climb crosswise towards the highest peak of Peć, which is reached after about 15 minutes of further walking.
