Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce, where we drive right towards Jesenice. In the settlement Slovenski Javornik, at the first crossroad with traffic lights we turn left towards the center of the town. In the seventh traffic light crossroad in a row we turn sharply right and drive only few 10 meters, whereupon we go left uphill towards the church on Murova. We park nearby.
Path description:
From the church, we continue left on the road which leads uphill among houses. We soon come to a crossroad, where we continue slightly right or straight uphill. Street (Kosova ulica) narrows and we go there all the way to its end past the last house on the left. After the small garden we step on a wide forest path which leads uphill towards the northwest. After only 15 minutes of walking from the starting point, we run into a small chapel, and behind it to a crossing. We choose right (left Sp. Pejce) and we continue on a little narrower path through the forest, and through the clearing of a power line to the next crossing at the water catchment, where we join the wider path, which is coming from the left, or from Spodnje Pejce. We continue right uphill on a nice wide rocky path, on which they were once transporting ore, evidence of this are still visible traces (tracks). There in few minutes we get to another, bigger chapel which is situated right below Zgornje Pejce. By the chapel there are benches, where we can enjoy a rest.
