Path description:
From the starting point, continue straight ahead, following the road as it climbs parallel to the nearby stream. The way forward takes us past the Blessed Well and, slightly higher up, the cart track turnoff to St Anne. Higher up, the road makes a sharp left turn, along which there are information boards, but we leave it just at this point and continue straight on the worse road, which only a little further on crosses the national border. Once in Austria, we continue on the minor road for a short distance before joining a wider dirt road, which takes us within a few minutes to the central part of the mountain pasture Luža.
From the shepherd's hut, walk to the second part of mountain pasture, and at the crossroads continue right in the direction of Pec (slightly left Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel and Topitza / Topitza. The ascent continues on a dirt road which climbs gently to moderately along the edge of mountain pasture. After about 15 minutes of further walking, we will notice on the left side of the road the mountain signs for Peca, 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.
