Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on the right road in the direction of the cottage Sankaška koča (slightly left cottage Tinčkova koča, Dom pri izviru Završnice and Dom na Zelenici), where only a little further we over the bridge cross the stream Završnica. Further, we are ascending diagonally, and meanwhile we cross also few streams. Higher, the path for some time slightly descends, and then it moderately ascends to a saddle Kališča, where we reach a marked path Begunje - Poljška planina.
On the mentioned saddle we leave the road and we continue slightly right in the direction of Sveti Peter (left Poljška planina and Roblekov dom, straight downwards unmarked path into Begunje through Blatnica gorge) and we start ascending parallel with the macadam road which higher, a little before its end we also reach. On the part, where we reach the road we continue left and we leave the marked path, and in few steps we get to the turning point of the forest road.
From the turning point, we continue left on a cart track which slightly descends, and then it starts lightly ascending. Here a view opens up a little on Karawanks, cart track which gradually passes on the slopes of Pleče, starts moderately ascending. When we are ascending diagonally, best still before the end of the cart track, we continue right, where there are several worse footpaths, and on one of them we ascend on an indistinct ridge and there on a little better visible footpath on the nearby peak.
