Stage 3 | Route description

The asphalt and macadam road leads gently up and down to the east past the Friedenskirche church to the Luschaalm/Luže (2 km), where the forest path splits (Feistritzerspitze/Bistriška špica, St. Anne). It continues along a forest road towards Feistritzerspitze/Bistriška špica. After 1 km an old logging trail branches off and zig-zags its way to the Petzenstall mountain pasture and hunters' hut. There are wonderful views of the Kamnik– Savinja Alps – an ideal place to take a rest. Continue on the marked path past upwards through the high forest through a ridge of shrub and a basin to Feistritzerspitze/Bistriška špica (1hr, 20 mins). Continue in an easterly direction up and down along the ridge towards Knieps/Končnik vrh (optional turn–off to the Petzen mountain cable car station) to Kordeschkopf/Kordeževa glava. The descent from the top initially leads along a very stony and steep path downwards to the Mala Peca saddle. Cross the meadow on the left side of Mala Peca and follow the marked trail to the Dom na Peci mountain hut (10 mins).
