Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After Ljubelj tunnel we turn left and we park on a marked parking lot by the former border crossing.
Path description:
On the west side of the abandoned border crossing we notice an asphalt road which starts gently ascending towards the farm Pamž. We follow the asphalt road to the nearby torrent, where we continue on the bottom macadam road (straight farm Pamž). The road further at first slightly descends, and then turns to the left and continues with some shorter ascents and descents. Eventually the road turns to the right and starts ascending steeper. From the road which has some side branches, beautiful views opening up on surrounding mountains. Higher, we get to a more distinct ridge, where just after the left turn, sharp to the left a worse beaten hunting footpath branches off, which continues on a ridge to the hunting cottage, and we continue straight and the road which again for some time slightly descends, we follow mostly towards the north. Higher, the road which crosses some avalanche slopes turns sharply to the left, and in a moderate ascent, we follow it to the previously mentioned hunting cottage (path on the road is approximately half an hour longer than on a hunting footpath).
From the hunting cottage, we continue on the forest road, and in a moderate ascent, we follow it to its end.
From the end of the road, where there is currently (May 2011) a temporary forestry cableway, we continue left upwards, where on easier, but overgrown pathless terrain we ascend on the nearby ridge. When we step on the ridge, we follow it to the left, and on or next to it we ascend to the summit of Sveta peč, peak which is situated in the middle of the thin forest.
