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.
From the church, we continue left in the direction of Sankaška koča, and the path ahead leads us on a wide and gentle cart track which runs right from the airfield and viewpoint. When the cart track goes into the forest we continue on the left cart track, and there we continue in a gentle ascent. In the last part becomes a cart track a little steeper, and we quickly reach Sankaška koča, from which a nice view opens up on Julian Alps.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Begunjščica, mountain hut Roblekov dom, mountain pasture Poljška planina and Završnik, where we at first steeply ascend, and then we continue in a gentle descent to the near private cottage, which we bypass on the right side. Next follows a relatively short ascent, and then we get to the hunting cottage LD Stol - Žirovnica. Here from the nearby viewpoint a nice view opens up on Gorenjska and Julian Alps, and the path returns into the forest and continues on a cart track. At the crossings, we follow the blazes, and for some time we also leave the cart tracks. When we return on a cart track, the terrain gradually flattens, and from the marked path on part, where the path on Smokuški vrh branches off to the left, we continue right.
After few steps, we reach the turning point of the nearby forest road, and from the turning point we continue right on a cart track which slightly descends, and then it starts lightly ascending. Here a view opens up a little on Karawanks, cart track which gradually passes on the slopes of Pleče, starts moderately ascending. When we are ascending diagonally, best still before the end of the cart track, we continue right, where there are several worse footpaths, and on one of them we ascend on an indistinct ridge and there on a little better visible footpath on the nearby peak.
