Krvava peč below Pirčeva planina

I've noticed Krvava peč below Pirčeva planina many times while driving over Črnivec and it was time to go explore a bit.
I parked in Krivčevo and walked along the road to the Žaga hamlet, where I turned right off the road onto the marked path towards pl. Kisovec over Strmina. A really nice, slightly overgrown trail led me into the steep slopes of Krvava peč and soon sucked me into this attractive world. At a suitable spot, by a rock cairn, I left the markings and headed steeply up searching for a passage to the ridge. I quickly realized it wouldn't be entirely easy. The slope in the steep grass was becoming brutal, up to 80°. Luckily there were enough saplings that served well for the ascent. Some adrenaline climbing on steep heights made the sense of time disappear and it felt like eternity until I climbed onto the ridge. The view ahead was promising and wild and the thought that maybe the terrain wouldn't let me through wasn't pleasing. I climb and step carefully, observe and watch out. When I step onto the overgrown head of the ridge, I'm out of trouble. Yay! I finish the ridge exactly at the stone with Žaga written on it, from where it's just a moment to the planina. Great! On the planina I turn right to the viewpoint with a bench, where I munch a bit and let thoughts about life slip through. What all should we be grateful for!? What all do we have to give up?!...
From here I continue along the road to the next planina and already thinking about descent towards Krivčevo. After pathless wandering through the forest I catch the marked path and start descending. At the abandoned farm I turn right across the meadow, back towards the peč, to the edge where I previously spotted a traverse carved into the slope from the ridge. I head into it right away and traverse for a while, to the spot where the chain helps. There's a special place there, so I sit and enjoy the solitude, leaving the continuation of the hunter's path for next time. I return and descend to the starting point along the picturesque path following the markings.
Short and really sweet, for forest alpinists! 
I'll come back, thanks!

A couple of years have passed, today back to the world below Pirčeva planina, but this time with the wild addition of Velika.
We park in Krivčevo, then from Žaga up the old path. The area here was changed by the last major flood, but the path is still well passable and traceable.
When higher up the path turns right upwards along the ridge of Krvava peč, we head onto it. Still steep, still demanding, still beautiful. The ridge isn't too long, but it's beautiful and fragrant. The rock is mostly good. Pleasurably we step onto the marked path below Pirčeva planina.
The day has just properly started, so we continue. Over Curlo and Kačjek, along the century-old path to Skledčka, from where steeply up towards Gradišče.....but that's a completely different story.
All the best!
