Podpeca (Mitnek) - Petzen (Kordeschkopf) (Peca (Kordeževa glava)) (easy path)

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Črna na Koroškem (to get here from Raven na Koroškem or from Šoštanj via the Spodnje Sleme pass), then continue driving to Koprivna and Podpeca. We continue along the Meži River, and we drive along it to the crossroads where the road to Podpeca and Dom na Peci branches off to the right. A little higher up, the asphalt ends, and we park in a roadside parking lot.
b) Drive to Luce (to get here from Mozirje or from Kamnik via the Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) pass), then continue driving towards the Logar valley. In the village Solčava, leave the main road towards the Logar valley and continue driving to the right towards Podolševa, the pass Spodnje Sleme and Črna na Koroškem. The road then loses its asphalt surface, and after a few kilometres we turn right at the crossroads in Podolševa towards Črna na Koroškem. The road, which continues to climb mainly in a transverse direction, leads us after a while to the Spodnje Sleme Pass. From the pass the road starts to descend and we follow it in the direction of Črna na Koroške. After a few kilometres, when we descend into the valley, we turn right at the crossroads towards Črna na Koroškem (Koprivna on the left). We descend along the main road towards Črna na Koroškem, and the road leads us first past the turnoff to the Tople valley, and then a little lower down to the turnoff to Podpeca and Doma na Peci (Home on the Peć). Here, continue left and start climbing along the asphalt road. A little higher up, the asphalt ends and we park in a suitable place on the side of the road.

Path description:
Continue on the dirt road and follow the signs for Dom na Peci. You will soon reach the first crossroads, where you continue left. Here the road starts to climb and soon we are at the crossroads again. Take the road on the left after the signs "Dom na Peci - footpath". Leave this road shortly afterwards and start climbing up the steep cart track along the meadow. The path then leads us to a road which we follow for a few tens of metres to the left, and then the markings direct us right again onto the footpath. We then climb for a long time through the forest.
Later, the path leads past a hunting lodge.
There is a short climb and the path leads us back to the road. Continue following the signs 'Dom na Peci 45 min' and start climbing up the cart track. The trail then turns slightly to the left and then crosses the slopes to the south-west as it climbs for some time. At the last part of the trail, it turns right and there is a short climb through the forest to Dom na Peci.
From Dom na Peci, take the footpath to Mala Peca or the path to Kordež's Head. After less than ten minutes of ascent, the two paths merge and we continue on the marked path, which continues up the meadow and leads us to a marked crossroads.
Here we continue to the right and walk for some time without any change in altitude, then join the more beaten track which bypasses the Mala Peca summit (the above-mentioned path is slightly shorter). The way ahead climbs across the meadow and takes us slightly higher to a marked crossroads.
Continue on the easy path on the right (the direction sign says it is a difficult path, which it is not, as the path has no technically difficult places (left climbing route to Pec)), which gradually passes between dwarf pines. The ascent continues along a moderately steep to steep path, from which increasingly beautiful views open up. Higher up, the path flattens out completely on a grassy levelling, where the aforementioned climbing route joins from the left. A few minutes' climb up the top slope of Petzen follows, and the path leads us without much difficulty to the highest peak of Peć.
