Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto we go to the exit Ivančna Gorica and we continue driving in the direction of Žužemberk and Črnomelj. We follow the mentioned road to Soteska, where we turn right through a bridge over the river Krka. Immediately behind the bridge we turn right on a yard of the nearby company, where we look for the beginning of the forest road. The road which starts ascending steeper through the forest we follow to a little bigger crossroad, by which we notice a sign Mrzle doline. Here we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
B) From highway border crossing Obrežje - Ljubljana we go to the exit Novo Mesto - east, and we continue driving to the mentioned settlement. From Novo Mesto we continue driving in the direction of Straža and then Soteska. In Soteska we continue left in the direction of Črnomelj and Podhosta. Immediately after the bridge over the river Krka we turn right on a yard of the nearby company, where we look for the beginning of the forest road. The road which starts ascending steeper through the forest we follow to a little bigger crossroad, by which we notice a sign Mrzle doline. Here we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the right road (left leads to Podhosta), which is further gently ascending through the forest. Higher, we come to an unmarked crossroad, where we go sharply left and we continue on for some time unmarked road. We continue the ascent on a narrower macadam road on which in approximately 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the next crossroad. We continue on the left road (on the right road we return on the "main" road), where we quickly get to a marked path which leads from Podhosta on Sveti Peter.
Here we continue right on a marked footpath which starts moderately ascending through the forest. Already after few minutes we leave a wide path and we continue the ascent slightly right, on a still marked, but occasionally more overgrown path. Higher, we step on a cart track, and after few steps it brings us to a wider forest road. We continue on the road uphill, and there we walk only for a short time because then blazes point us right on a footpath. We continue a short ascent through the forest and then the path flattens and it brings us to the next forest road which we only cross. We go in the direction of Sveti Peter and we continue on at first a gentle, and then on an increasingly steep path, on which in approximately 15 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top of Sveti Peter.
