Route description:
From the upper station of the cable car we continue following the signs for »P12 Kordeschkopf«. At first we walk on a gentle cart track, then the path turns right and starts to ascend alongside the ski slope. For a short time the path leaves the ski slope to the left into the forest, then it ascends again along the edge of the ski slope. When we reach the top of the ski slope we continue left and then ascend for some time alongside the dwarf pines. Later the dwarf pines become somewhat sparser and then follows a short ascent on the grassy slope to the junction on the border ridge (near Knipsovo sedlo).
At the junction we continue right (left to Kordeževa glava) and quickly ascend to Končnikov vrh.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Feistritzer Spitze ( 45 min), Petzen (Kordeschkopf) (Peca (Kordeževa glava))

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
