Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Brezje, and then we follow the signs for basilica Mary Help at Brezje. We park on a large parking lot in front of basilica.
Path description:
By the parking lot we notice an information board with outlines of tourist paths at the area of municipality Radovljica, among others also signs for path Brezjanska pot miru (Brezje path of peace), which is marked with number 10.
The mentioned path starts by Brezje pilgrimage office, where signs for path Brezjanska pot miru point us on a narrower road which at the crossroads we follow to the nearby cemetery. Before the cemetery we go right, and then on the nearby crossroad left on a cart track (crossroads are well marked with signs for path of peace). Next follows easy walk among fields and meadows, from where a nice view towards Juliian Alps opens up and part of Kamnik Savinja Alps and Karawanks. When we step into the forest, the path brings us to a pleasant resting place, after which the path descends to a stream Peračica.
We continue by the stream, which over a footbridge we also several times cross, and occasionally the path also goes a little away from the stream. Next follow few crossings, where we follow the signs for path Brezjanska pot miru, and the path past spruce Vovkova smreka and over a bridge Ruthin most quickly brings us to the waterfall Peračica, near of which there is an inscription box.
Behind the inscription box we ascend on stairs above the waterfall, after that over a footbridge we cross the stream Peračica. Next follows a little steeper short ascent, partly also on stairs, and then we reach the macadam road which we follow to the right (left Dvorska vas). From the road soon shortened part of the path Brezjanska pot miru branches off to the right, which after a short descent returns on the path in the direction of access to the waterfall, and we follow the road with some shorter ascents and descents to its end. When the road ends we follow the signs for settlement Peračica, and the path for some time leads on a cart track, after the forest ends, we step on a macadam road, and there to one of the houses in the settlement Peračica, where we also reach an asphalt road.
We follow the road to the right, and there past a chapel and past some information boards, we follow it all the way to basilica Mary Help at Brezje, where we started and we are also ending it.
