Golni vrh (Žirovski vrh) 962m

Before heading to Italy, I make use of the time and ride my MTB to the ridge of Žirovski vrh, where Golni vrh rises highest at 962m. I biked the path in the direction of Horjul, past Šentjošt to Suhega dola 681m, up to which we climb continuously on asphalt. Here I turn left for Smrečje, at the sign right. The upper path doesn't reach the top, but at the farm Blaževec one needs to take a barely noticeable path to the top. When crossing the hayfield, which they were turning, I got some curses from a really trodden, primitive farmer. Yes, true, that I just pushed the bike in front of me and know that cows don't eat crumbs if they smell something from the valley. I told him, is the whole world his? Or should I walk on air? Here is the top. He didn't calm down, I didn't give up, but he thoroughly pondered to himself. I go calmly ahead to the forest top, where there is no view at all, but I felt the height and cooler air, especially when I rolled into the valley. Despite the circumstances, it was a nice tour, where I was for the first time. From Ljubljana to the top 3 hours and 40 km one way. Nice greeting until next time!

Well, I sometimes just go up to Goli vrh with the car.
And even if I go towards Žiri, I go past Golega vrha to Žiri.
But you actually missed the path.
The view is nice from the top.
Horjul-Suhi dol (turn left, right goes to Lučinam) you ride and push until you reach the crossroads, turn right and ride further, then you should go up somewhere at the second junction, although also at the first junction.

Yeah, fu* you can't mess with farmers' grass.
Otherwise you didn't quite handle it right when you threw back a few harsh words at him.

I really advise you to go up again, the view is really nice.

You were quite close to this one
Right above that farmer who pissed you off is that Rupnikova linija.

Mate, exactly there on that meadow that moronic farmer attacked me, who didn't know anything beyond his home. He cursed all of Ljubljana and more. To the top I went exactly where you said. From Suhega dola, where first the asphalt road turns left to Smrečje, later turns to gravel, soon turn right - Goli vrh (hayfield on top). Further along the same ridge the path enters the forest, where good ten meters higher is the highest point of the peak, which on maps is called Golni vrh 962m. The summit has no marker and is not prominent in the overgrown forest. A bit lower only the SE side towards Sv. Tri Kralji 884m is well visible. Regards - Rok. nasmeh
