Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lipce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice. When we come to the traffic-light crossroads, where we join the old road, we continue right in the direction of Žirovnica. We follow this road only a short time, because at the next somewhat larger crossroads (traffic light) we continue left in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through the underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). We follow the road, which higher up starts to ascend steeply, in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road ahead runs past the mountain hut Dom Pristava (the hut is a little above the road) and behind the hut we come to the next (smaller) crossroads, where we go right. Ahead we drive on a macadam road all the way to Križovec, which we recognize by the crossroads of several roads (by the crossroads there are a few smaller parking spots and a cross).
Route description:
From the parking lot, we go sharply right (direction of arrival) on the road by which there is a cross. The road then runs past a ramp and then ascends gently through the forest. After less than 15 minutes of walking, a marked path from the mountain hut Dom Pristava joins us from the right side. We continue left and the path brings us to the pastures of Pustega Rovta, where we will notice two cottages on the left side.
We continue past the mentioned cottages to the other side of the mountain pasture, where the road turns right and then in a few minutes brings us to a crossroads at the torrent. We take the right road, which crosses a cart track towards the saddle Kočna (left Golica). Ahead we again encounter a barrier which we bypass on the left side. Only a few dozen meters ahead, the path is blocked by another barrier. The road ahead ascends in a traverse towards the east mostly through the forest. A few minutes before the mountain pasture, the road emerges from the forest onto the pastures of Struške and makes a sharp left turn, from which we have only a few steps to the hut on the mountain pasture.
Along the route: Pusti Rovt (1300m)

Discussion about the trip Križovec - Belska planina (Svečica) (by road)

Today I was up there, dog weather, cold, wind, snow,.. Since last year the hut has been renovated, almost fairy-tale like. I really didn't expect such outdoor luxury! The road from Križevec is rutted by ski tourers. The road is drivable by car to Kreževec, as the forestry company maintains it for timber extraction.

Yesterday we cut it towards Svečica. There was about 60 cm of snow. We left the car (due to rear-wheel drive) a bit further from Pristava, a car with three skiers overtook us, whom we later met in Pusti Rovt and continued the path together. It was obviously possible to drive to Križovec with a front-wheel drive car without chains. The road was plowed but then covered with about 5-7 cm snow blanket.
About 500 m from Križovec we plunged into pristine white, me with snowshoes, colleague with touring skis, past the first barrier through Pusti Rovt, past the second barrier. There the other three "wait". Together we go along the road, occasionally changing at the front of the column. Of course, me with snowshoes always last. To Svečica it took us 2 hours 40 min. We decided not to continue to the summit itself due to dense glaring fog. After a short break we return, skiers down the gully towards Pusti Rovt, I with snowshoes plod back the same way. To Pusti Rovt it took 45 min, to Pristava another good 30 min walk.
Only the sun was missing, otherwise wonderful.

Inhospitality in the hut on Belska planina. On August 12, 24, I went from Stol to Golica. By unfortunate coincidence, I ran out of water shortly before the hut on Belska planina. When I arrived at the hut, I asked if it was possible to get or buy some water to have until the hut below Golica. The arrogant reply of the plump lady cooling her ass in the shade was: WE BRING OUR OWN WATER UP HERE!! Such a reply and unwillingness to help in the mountains only shows the attitude of some who have their asses full of everything. They should be ashamed to the bottom of their hearts, also the couple watching nearby, like what are you even looking for here. Well, with a bit more effort I still reached Golica, where I thoroughly quenched my thirst. I must also say that from Belska planina to the hut on Golica it's a good two hours walk. Still, I must thank the lady for the "hospitality", but all others stay far away from the hut on Belska planina.

I understand the anger and disappointment, but some expressions you used do you no credit.

You get used to not even asking anymore, because then you get the same kind of response as you experienced srečko55. If you were running out of water, why didn't you descend.

Really inappropriate reaction to the response to the request for water.
I don't understand what need some people have for fluids in the mountains. If you have 1.5 to 2 liters of fluid with you, it should be enough for the trip. Without that, you probably don't go hiking. If there's a spring available, even better. But that should just be a reserve.
Take 2 l of water with you and not other drinks that don't quench thirst. If that's not enough, then you need to think about better physical fitness.

Well, other drinks quench thirst very well, they also replace what the body needs and loses while sweating. The amount of required fluid or drink varies from person to person, you can't just judge offhand how much others need ...

Maybe I don't understand it, but you could still buy and drink something there, so I have nothing bad to say about this mountain hut.
As for the amount of water drunk, it really depends on the individual, don't talk about some physical fitness in connection with water.
My husband needs quite a bit less fluid compared to me.
Running out of water, we've experienced what that means. Better to have more with you than too little.
Regards!

There is a shepherd's hut on Belska planina. Anyone who kindly asks for water gets it, but it's true that the tap water is not drinkable. The gentleman has already shown his culture and friendliness with what was written. Arrogance doesn't belong in the mountain pasture.
