Rateče to the peak of Peč Mountain

Posted on by Florence de Lannoy

We parked the car in the pretty village of Rateče, from where we began the climb up to Rateče-Planina. We opted to mostly follow the gravel bicycle path up the mountain, as it offered a more comfortable, steady climb than the shorter but steeper hiking trail.

Distance: 14.5 km

Time: 4:24

Elevation gain: 824 m

Elevation loss: 820 m

Max elevation: 1503 m

The pretty village of Rateče

Beautiful views of the mountains to the south

We reached the peak of Peč Mountain, where the borders of three countries (Austria, Slovenia, and Italy) meet.

Looking north to Austria 🇦🇹
We had quite a laugh when this horse snuck up to these people and started to mooch!
Perfect weather and beautiful surroundings

The hike back down was equally as pleasant

Wearing my goofy hat was necessary in this sun!
