Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then turn right downhill before the petrol station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, where you will quickly reach Tržič. At the junction after the Mercator shop, turn left towards the Tržič Museum, and we continue along Koroška Road, which we follow through the centre of the town to the nearby pizzeria. Here, turn right through the old courtyard gate and then pass the pizzeria's guest parking lot and the children's playground to the parking lot next to the castle.
Path description:
From the parking lot next to the castle, first descend the stairs and then turn left along the wide path, which offers a beautiful view of Tržič. Just a little further on, you reach the chapel, where you continue straight ahead towards the Radetzky Trail. Continue up the ascent along the gently sloping path, and then an arrow on a tree points to the right, where you quickly reach the nearby allotments. Above the allotments, the path enters the woods and starts to climb steeply. The well-marked trail continues past a couple of crossroads, then gradually moves to an increasingly scenic ridge, where it splits into two parts. Continue along the slightly left-hand side, along which Knafeljč's markings continue (slightly right Kamnek - less than 5 minutes). Cross the steep western slopes of Kamnek, from where we occasionally get some views, and then quickly reach the saddle to the north of the summit, where there is also a marked crossroads.
Continue straight ahead (left down Milanova cesta v Tržič, slight right Slap, sharp right Kamnek) and begin a gentle to moderate climb along the Pirmance ridge. When the ridge becomes quite steep, the marked path turns left onto slightly less steep slopes, over which you continue crosswise to the right. After a few minutes the forest thins out a little and the path returns to the ridge, which is reached just at the small pass between the summits of Pirmance and Veliki vrh.
Here you leave the marked trail, which passes to the right eastern side of the mountain and continue straight up the unmarked, but well-traced trail, which in 5 minutes of further walking will take you to the scenic Velika peak above Završnik.
