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, we park on a large parking lot between PGD Begunje and inn Gostilna pri Jožovcu.
Path description:
Near the fire station we notice signs for St. Peter, which point us on an asphalt road which continues through the settlement. From the nearby crossroad at the recycling spot we continue on a slightly left road, and at the next crossroad slightly right upwards in the direction of St. Peter. Before "last" house we leave the road and we continue on a beaten mountain path, which ascends through a panoramic meadow, from which the view reaches all the way to Triglav. On top of the meadow, the path goes into the forest and starts ascending steeper, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. Higher by the path, we are accompanied also by Stations of the Cross, and we follow still quite steep path all the way to the church of St. Peter, which is situated on a panoramic hill above Begunje.
For a nice view it is worth to walk also to the nearby paragliding take off point.
