Begunje - Velika Špička

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Koper motorway, take the Unec exit and follow the road towards Cerknica. Just a little before Cerknica, continue left towards Begunje, then on a somewhat more winding road quickly arrive at the already mentioned village. In Begunje, continue driving on the main road, then at the intersection by the Mercator store, go straight onto the macadam road alongside which we notice signs for Špičasto Stražišče (left Bezuljak, right Selšček). We then follow the poorer macadam road to a smaller parking lot by the village skittle alley.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the poorer macadam road, which after a few dozen steps of easy walking brings us to a junction of three cart tracks. We continue on the leftmost (or also middle) cart track, which in a gentle ascent brings us to the next marked junction.
We continue on the left path (right Špička via Cumarovnik) and continue the ascent on a gentle cart track, which higher changes into a gradually steeper footpath. After some time, the path brings us below the summit of Begunjske Zalake, where we also step out of the forest onto pleasant grassy slopes. Here the path flattens, then continues for a few minutes without major changes in elevation. A little further, we step onto a cart track, from which after a few minutes of walking to the right branches a marked footpath. We head onto the mentioned footpath, which soon brings us to a junction, where from the right joins the path from the village Selšček and another path from Begunje (descent option). We continue straight on a relatively gentle mountain path, on which in less than 5 minutes of further walking we ascend to the summit of Velika Špička.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
