Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Naklo (you can also take the exit for Tržič), then follow the signs for Kropa. At Podnart, after crossing the Sava River, continue left, then pass the turnoff for Ovsiše, and in a few kilometres you will reach a crossroads where you turn left in the direction of Češnjice pri Kropa. Cross Lipnica, then at the crossroads take the road towards Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). When Češnjica ends, descend into a small valley, and when the road climbs again, quickly arrive at Rovte, where at the crossroads follow the main road. When the settlement ends, we drive through the forest for a while, and when we come out of the forest we see the settlement Njivica in front of us, and we park in front of the settlement in a convenient place near the "storage" of logs.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Lesce or Radovljica, then continue in the direction of Radovljica and later the villages Lancovo, Lipnica, Kamna Gorica and Kropa, which we do not take. Continue towards Podnart, then a few kilometres before the above-mentioned village turn right in the direction of Češnjica pri Kropa, then cross Lipnica, then at the crossroads take the road in the direction of Na Kajžah (right Na Kmetih). When Češnjica ends, descend into a small valley, and when the road climbs again you will quickly arrive at Rovte, where at the crossroads follow the main road. When the settlement ends, we drive through the forest for a while, and when we come out of the forest we see the settlement Njivica in front of us, and we park in front of the settlement in a convenient place near the "storage" of logs.
c) From the road Dražgoše - Zgornja Besnica, near the hamlet of Log (Log is a hamlet belonging to the settlement Njivica), take the side road in the direction of Njivica and Rovt. There is a steep climb up a wide road, and then you arrive in Njivica, and park at the end of the settlement in a convenient place near the "storage" of logs.
Path description:
From where you parked, first walk to the log store, then follow the wide cart track climbing westwards. Follow the cart track, climbing steeply at first and following the "main track" at the crossroads. The track flattens out higher up and continues to cross the slopes to the left. There are also a few small forks, where you follow the wider track, or the one with the arrows and marker No 3. A little further on, the track goes from the slopes of Malá vrh to the slopes below Grebenc St. Primož and Felicijan, where the path from the village of Nemilje (the path over Sleme) joins us on the left.
The way ahead leads along a gently sloping track which leads below the ridge Jamnik with the Church of St. Primož and Felicijan. After a few minutes of quite scenic crossing, you reach the village Jamnik, through which you continue straight on, or keep slightly left at the crossroads. After leaving the village, you quickly reach the main road Dražgoše - Kropa, which you follow to the left for a few minutes, or until you reach a point where the signs for Bela peč point you slightly right onto a rising track. Cart track soon turns right, and when it makes a left serpentine, the track continues in a straight direction, leading towards Bela Peć. It then climbs through the forest, and a little higher up, crosses the source of the cart track, which we have recently left (you can also follow the track to here). The path, which is marked with pale yellow markings, becomes quite steep further on, and also climbs up a fairly steep slope, so more caution is needed in the snow and the wet. Higher up, the edge of Jelovica is reached, where the trail flattens out and the slope becomes a plateau. Here the path turns left, and a little further on it joins a track, which is also followed to the left. There is a gentle to occasionally moderate ascent along the path, which mainly passes through dense woodland. A little further on the forest thins out, and the path leads us to the scenic edge of the plateau, from where we have a fine view towards Kamnik Savinja Alps, part of Karawanks, Gorenjska and the surrounding hills. At the lookout point, the path turns slightly to the right and in a few minutes climbs to the lookout Bela peč, from where we have a view of the other side. Njivica - village Jamnik 1:15, village Jamnik - Bela peč 1:20.
