Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Kranj, and then we follow the signs for Besnica (turn off from old road Ljubljana - Kranj is before the bridge over the river Sava, or after the bridge if we come from the direction Kranj). Further, we drive through Spodnja and Zgornja Besnica and Njivica. Even a little further, we get to Nemilje, after the mentioned settlement the road starts ascending steeper. When we get to Podblica, we follow the main road, when on the right we notice a recycling spot, we park on an appropriate place by the recycling spot. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
B) From Železniki we drive to Dražgoše, and then we continue driving towards Kropa. Next follows diagonal driving on slopes of Jelovica, and then we get to a crossroad, where the road towards Kranj branches off sharply to the right (turn-off for Kranj is only from the opposite direction). Here we continue sharply right (if the turn is too sharp is about 50 meters ahead settled turning point), and then we descend into Podblica, where before the center of the settlement on the left we notice a recycling spot, by which we park. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
C) We drive into Kropa, and then we continue driving towards Dražgoše and Železniki. After the settlement Jamnik we leave the road towards Dražgoše and we continue driving left towards Kranj. Next follows a descent to the settlement Podblica, where we park on an appropriate place by the recycling spot. We park the way we don't hinder garbage removal.
Path description:
From the crossroad above recycling spot we continue right in the direction of Jamnik and Peka piškotov Metka. The path at first leads on a narrower asphalt road, and past few houses. At the last house, we go right on a cart track, and there we are mostly ascending diagonally. Higher, we reach newer house, which we bypass on the upper side, and after the yard we again continue on a cart track which leads us past a religious symbol. A little further, we reach the main road Dražgoše - Kropa, which we only cross (left Dražgoše, right Kropa and Jamnik).
We continue on a cart track in the direction of Bela peč, and it starts ascending diagonally. Cart track soon turns right, when makes the left hairpin turn, in the direction of straight continues a footpath which leads towards Bela peč. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and a little higher we cross end of the cart track which we recently left (to here possible also on a cart track). The path which is marked with faded yellow signs further becomes pretty steep, and it is ascending also on a quite steep slope, therefore in snow and in wet more caution is needed. Higher, we reach the edge of Jelovica, where the path flattens and from the slope passes on a plateau. Here the path turns left, and a little further it joins the cart track which we also follow to the left. Next follows gentle to occasionally moderate ascent on the path which mainly runs through a dense forest. Even a little further forest gets thinner, and the path brings us on the panoramic edge of plateau, from where a beautiful view opens up towards Kamnik Savinja Alps, part of Karawanks, Gorenjska and surrounding hills. At viewpoint path turns a little right and in few minutes ascends on panoramic Bela peč, from where opens up also a view on the other side.
