Ressnig - Aussicht Petelinz

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 the Ljubelj tunnel, the road starts descending, and we follow it to the village Podgora / Unterbergen (Podgora is the first village after the village Podljubelj / Unterloibl). In the middle of the village Podgora we need to pay attention because we will turn right in the direction of "zum Hofer". After a short descent, we quickly get to Borovlje / Ferlach, where only a little further we join the main road which we follow to the right. On the main road we drive only good 10 meters and then still before the bridge over Ljubeljska Borovnica / Grießbach we turn left towards the village Resnica / Ressnig. At the next crossroads, we continue straight, and on the road we drive to the marked parking lot in front of hydropower plant Borovlje.

Path description:
Before the parking lot a little narrower asphalt road branches off to the left on which we start our trip. Few 10 strides we walk on the mentioned road, and then signs for "pohod miru v Rožu" (hike of peace in Rož) point us to the right on an asphalt path, on which we quickly ascend to hydropower plant Borovlje. From here a nice view opens up on the main Karawanks and dammed lake Ferlacher Stausee and towards the castle Humberk / Hollenburg. We continue on a dam over the river Drau, and then on the other side left where we are for a short time ascending by the edge of the lake. After that, the path turns a little to the right and splits into two parts. We continue right on the wide path, which is moderately ascending through the forest. A little higher, the path branches off to the right towards few minutes distant chapel, and we continue left and we follow a wide path to the next marked crossing, where we continue sharply right in the direction of "Petelinz" (straight Žihpolje / Maria Rain).
The worse road then gradually changes into a wide cart track which mostly continues through the forest. A little higher from the left joins another path from Žihpolje. Here we continue straight, and then a little further we get to the next crossing, where we continue slightly right (slightly left Št. Urh / St. Ulrich (on signposts marked only Rosentalmarsch)).
Few minutes ahead we get to the first viewpoint with a bench, but from there the view because of the nearby trees isn't anything special. From the first bench we continue in the direction of "Petelinz" and we start moderately to steeply descending towards the second better viewpoint with a bench, from which a nice view opens up towards river Drau, Borovlje and Karawanks.
