Koprein-Petzen - Petzen (Kordeschkopf) (Peca (Kordeževa glava))

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezersko or Pavličevo sedlo we drive to Železna Kapla, and there in the beginning of the settlement, we notice signs for Lepena / Leppen, which point us to the right. The mentioned road then through the mentioned village brings us to the village Pod Peca / Koprein-Petzen, where it starts ascending steeper. The road higher flattens and past the starting point for Topica / Topitza brings us to a small church. We continue on the main road which loses an asphalt covering and only a little after that starts descending. Only about 100 meters ahead we come to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Peca / Petzen (left Globasnica / Globasnitz) on the road which only a little further brings us to a gate, near of which we also park.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on for traffic closed forest road which in 5 minutes of light descent brings us to a crossroad at the beginning of the mountain pasture Luža.
We continue left in the direction of "Petzen" on the road which starts ascending by the edge of the mountain pasture. After approximately 20 minutes of walking, we will on the left side of the road notice signposts for Peca, which point us sharply left on an ascending cart track. The mentioned cart track in a diagonal ascent quickly brings us to newly built forest road which we follow to the left. After few 10 meters of walking on the mentioned road we go right on an ascending cart track, on which we are ascending through the spruce forest. After approximately 1 hour of walking from the starting point, we again step on a macadam road, on which we in few steps ascend to the mountain pasture Zgornja Luža.
From the mountain pasture, we continue on a marked path (at first still a road) in the direction of Peca. After few 10 strides road turns to the right, and we continue left on a foot path which starts moderately ascending through the forest. The path gradually starts ascending steeper, and higher it brings us out of the forest on slopes covered with dwarf pines. Further, we are ascending on the more and more panoramic slopes of Peca, on the path which eventually brings us to the main ridge, where we get also to a crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Bistriška špica and Peca (left Globasnica / Globasnitz) on the path which entirely flattens and continues at first by a precipitous ridge and then on a plateau terrain of Peca. A little further from the left side joins also the path from the bottom cableway station on Peca, and we continue straight on the path which ascends a little and after less than 5 minutes of additional walking brings us on Bistriška špica.
From Bistriška špica we continue on a marked path which starts descending by the ridge (direction southeast). After a short descent, the path passes into dwarf pines, and it gradually starts ascending towards one of the peaks in the mountain range of Peca (on maps without a name). From the mentioned summit the path descends a little and it brings us to the spot, where we get to the national border. We continue the ascent on and by the border ridge, on the path which in a moderate ascent on a pleasant grassy slope brings us on Končnikov vrh.
From Končnikov vrh we continue on a marked path which starts descending towards the saddle Knipsovo sedlo. After few minutes of descent from the left side joins the path from the ski slope Peca, and we continue slightly right on the path which quickly brings us to information boards on a saddle Knipsovo sedlo.
From the saddle, we continue straight in the direction of Peca and mountain hut Dom na Peci (right valley of Topla) on the path which at first slightly ascends after that descends on the saddle between Velika glava and Kordeževa glava. From the mentioned saddle the path starts ascending diagonally towards the highest summit of Peca, and we reach it after approximately 15 minutes of additional walking.
