Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Radovljica or Lesce, and then we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When we get to Begunje na Gorenjskem, at first we still follow the signs for Tržič and Draga, and after the hospital we turn left in the direction of recreation center Krpin, to which we get to after approximately 100 meters of additional driving. We park on a large parking lot by the mentioned recreation center.
Path description:
Behind the bar Krpin, which is situated by the parking lot there starts a well-beaten path which leads towards the church of St. Peter on Gora. The path at first runs on a gentle cart track, and then passes on the right side of the ski slope, where it is ascending by the edge of the forest. Further, we are for some time relatively steeply ascending, and then the path after the shepherd hut for some time flattens a little. A little further, on the upper part of the ski slope, where normal path turns right, we continue left in the direction of the path over the climbing wall. Next follows some traversing, at first still with nice views, and after the bench Mancina klopca path passes into the forest. In the forest, we continue on the left path (right path avoids the climbing wall and technically it isn't demanding) and in a gentle diagonal descent we descend to the foot of the climbing wall. Here the path becomes very demanding and it ascends over a very steep but relatively short wall, where we get help from stemples and on whole distance a steel cable. Above the fixed safety gear steepness decreases and we soon join the other path, and few steps ahead from the right joins also the path which avoids the climbing wall. Next follows some ascent and we join the marked path which starts by the fire station in Begunje.
The mentioned path we reach at the older rocky religious symbol, and we follow the mentioned path all the way to the church of St. Peter, from which a beautiful view opens up.
