Access to the starting point:
a) First, drive to Luce (to get here from Kamnik via the Volovjek Pass (Kranjski Rak) or from the Štajerska motorway and pass Mozirje and go through Ljubno ob Savinji), then continue driving in the direction of the Logarska dolina. When you reach Solčava, leave the main road and turn right towards Črna na Koroškem. Continue along the ascending road, following it at the junctions in the direction of Črna na Koroškem and the Spodnje Sleme pass. From the pass onwards the road starts to descend and we follow it to where it joins the Črna na Koroškem - Koprivna road. Here continue left, then at the next crossroads about 1 km further on, right towards the mountain lodge on the Kumer farm. Continue along the Koprivna stream, following the road to a crossroads where the road to the aforementioned house branches off sharp left, the road continues straight on towards mountain pasture Luža, and the marked mountain trail to Peca branches off to the right (the latter also initially runs along the road). Park in a suitable place along the road. Continue along the road. Continue along the road.
b) From Koroška, first drive to Črna na Koroškem, then continue to Podpeca and Koprivna. At the junction where the road to Podpeca branches off to the right, continue slightly to the left, and also at the next junction where the road to the Tople valley branches off to the right. Continue along the Meži river for a while, and then first arrive at the junction where the road to the left branches off towards the Spodnje Sleme pass, and then onwards towards the Logarska dolina. Continue straight ahead here, and then at the next crossroads, about 1 km further on, turn right towards the mountain lodge on the Kumer farm. Continue along the Koprivna stream, following the road to a crossroads where the road to the aforementioned house branches off sharply to the left, the road continues straight on towards mountain pasture Luža, and the marked mountain path to Pec (which also initially runs along the road) branches off to the right. Park in a suitable place along the road. Continue along the road. Continue along the road until the road ends.
c) First drive to Šoštanj, then continue along the winding road to Črna na Koroškem. At Črna na Koroškem turn left towards Podpeca and Koprivna.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the right-hand road, along which you will see signs for Peca (to the left the mountain lodge at the Kumer farm, straight ahead mountain pasture Luža). Continue along the ascending macadam road, we walk along it for about 10 minutes, and then on the left-hand side of the road you will see a signpost for Peca, which directs you to the left across the meadow. On the other side of the relatively overgrown meadow, cart track, on which we continue our ascent, turns left and starts to climb cross-country. Here we get some views from the path, and cart track joins a poorer forest road higher up, which we follow to the left. The minor road, almost cart track, splits in two higher up, and we continue straight ahead on the ascending cart track, which turns sharply right higher up. The weaker cart track joins the next forest road higher up, which is reached just at the bend. At the end of the bend, leave the road and continue along the waymarked path, which climbs first gently and then steeply through the forest. Higher up, the path curves slightly to the right and gradually leads us to the edge of the precipitous cliffs, from which we have a beautiful view of the Tople valley and the surrounding peaks. The path ahead leads us along the edge of the cliffs for a while, but this only changes from increasingly sparse forest to lane of dwarf pines. We continue to climb along a path that runs along the border line, with increasingly beautiful views from the path. Higher up, the track bends to the right and the boundary line continues in roughly the same direction.
When the path turns to the right, it returns for a while to the purely Slovenian side, which crosses the slopes of Končnik Peak. In parts slightly less well trodden, but well marked, the path leads us higher up to the vast Peć summit ridge, which is reached just above Knips saddle.
When we reach the ridge, the path to the right branches off towards the Topela valley, Petzen, the path continues straight on towards the Peca ski resort, and we continue left in the direction of Feistritzer Spitze / Feistritzer Spitze. The trail continues up the scenic slope and then gradually ascends to a ridge, which quickly leads to the grassy Končnikov Peak.
