Pod Peco / Koprein-Petzen - Feistritzer Spitze

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezersko or Pavličevo sedlo we drive to Železna Kapla, and there in the beginning of the settlement we notice signs for Lepena/Leppen, which point us to the right. The mentioned road then through the mentioned village brings us to the village Pod Peca/Koprein-Petzen, where it starts ascending steeper. The road higher flattens and past the starting point for Topica/Topitza brings us to a small church. We continue on the main road, which loses its asphalt surface and only a little after that starts descending. Only about 100 meters ahead we come to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Peca/Petzen (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the road which only a little further brings us to a barrier, near which we also park.

Route description:
From the starting point we continue on the forest road closed to traffic, which in 5 minutes of light descent brings us to a crossroad at the beginning of the mountain pasture Luža.
We continue left in the direction of "Petzen" on the road which starts ascending by the edge of the mountain pasture. After approximately 20 minutes of walking, we will notice on the left side of the road signposts for Peca, which point us sharply left on an ascending cart track. The mentioned cart track in a diagonal ascent quickly brings us to a newly built forest road, which we follow to the left. After a few tens of meters of walking on the mentioned road we turn right on an ascending cart track, on which we ascend through the spruce forest. After approximately 1 hour of walking from the starting point we again step on a macadam road, on which in a few steps we ascend to the mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From the mountain pasture we continue on a marked path (at first still a road) in the direction of Peca. After a few tens of steps the road turns to the right, and we continue left on a footpath which starts moderately ascending through the forest. The path gradually starts ascending steeper, and it brings us higher out of the forest on slopes covered with dwarf pines. Further we ascend on increasingly panoramic slopes of Peca, on the path which after some time brings us to the main ridge, where we also arrive at a junction.
We continue right in the direction of Bistriška špica and Peca (left Globasnica/Globasnitz) on the path which entirely flattens and continues first along a precipitous ridge and then across the plateau terrain of Peca. A little further the path from the lower cable car station to Peca joins from the left side, and we continue straight on the path which rises slightly and after less than 5 minutes of further walking brings us to Bistriška špica.
