Description of mountain:
Church of St. Marjeta is situated on the summit shoulder not far from the village Golo, which is located on the hills Mokrško hribovje south of Ig. Archeological finds indicate that the shoulder in a strategic position was populated at least since the Iron Age. The present church was built about two centuries ago on the site of a previous one from the Middle Ages. The church is surrounded by a walled village cemetery.
By the "well" in the immediate vicinity of the church, there is a slightly worn-out bench with a table, and right next to the cemetery entrance, a newer so-called bench of love.
Despite the shoulder being entirely grassy and bordered on three sides (except the south) by steep slopes, the views, due to trees on the slopes, are not as expansive as the natural conditions might allow; nevertheless, the surrounding hills are quite visible, and for a slightly better view to the south, one can head toward the village Golo south of the church.
To the church, in front of which is a fairly large parking lot, an asphalt road leads from nearby Golo, and it can also be reached by an unmarked path from Želimlje, about 300 meters lower.
