The road which is further mostly ascending diagonally, eventually brings us to mountain pass Spodnje Sleme. From the mountain pass the road starts descending, and we follow it in the direction of Črna na Koroškem. When after few kilometers we descend to the valley, at the crossroad we turn right towards Črna na Koroškem (left Koprivna). On the main road we are descending towards Črna na Koroškem, and the road at first leads past the turn off into a valley Tople, a little lower also to the turn-off of the road towards Podpeca, Koča na Pikovem and Dom na Peci.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue by following the signs Dom na Peci and we continue on a cart track right upward. After a short ascent, we come to a crossing, where we continue right and we are still ascending on a cart track. Cart track then gradually becomes less steep and we soon also leave it. Because blazes point us left on a footpath, on which we are then for some time ascending through the forest. The path through the forest then again brings us on a narrow cart track, where we continue right and in approximately 5 minutes of additional walking, we reach the mountain hut Dom na Peci.
From the mountain hut, we continue by following the signs for the peak Peca. At first, we in ascent cross slopes below Mala Peca, and then the path comes out of the forest on a grassy ridge, where a nice view opens up on Kamnik Savinja Alps. The path ahead ascends on a meadow upwards and it brings us to a crossing.
We go left following the signs »Zelo zahtevna pot« (very demanding path) (right an easier path). From the crossing, the path then crosses slopes towards the northwest and soon brings us to the first fixed safety gear. Further, the path turns to the right and very steeply ascends by fixed safety gear upwards. Next follows a short slightly exposed crossing and then few more steep ascents by the steel cable. Demanding part of the path soon ends and then follows a short ascent on a slope vegetated with dwarf pines. Out of the dwarf pines, the path brings us on a grassy slope, where we soon come to a crossing, where from the right side joins an easier path.
We continue left and follows only the last ascent to the summit of Peca on an undemanding slope.
From Kordeževa glava we continue on a marked path which starts moderately descending towards the saddle Knipsovo sedlo. After approximately 20 minutes of descent we get to information boards on the mentioned saddle, where from the left joins the path from the valley Topla.
We continue straight on a moderately steep path, which only a little higher joins the marked path from the ski slope Peca / Petzen (ski slope on the Austrian side of the mountain). We continue the ascent on a panoramic slope, and the path after few minutes of additional walking brings us on with grass vegetated Končnikov vrh.
The path ahead again starts descending and only a little further it leaves national border and then continues only on the Austrian side. Next follows a pleasant walk with some descents and ascents all the way to the upper slope of Bistriška špica. Here the path starts ascending steeper and in few minutes of additional walking brings us on a panoramic peak, on which stands a bigger cross.
