Križovec - Koča na Golici

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway we take the Lipce exit and follow the road ahead towards Jesenice. When we reach the traffic-light intersection where we join the old road, we continue right towards Žirovnica. We follow this road only briefly since at the next somewhat larger intersection (traffic light) we continue left towards Javorniški Rovt. The road then passes through an underpass (railway) and turns left (right Koroška Bela). We follow the road that begins to ascend steeply higher up towards Javorniški Rovt. The road leads us past the Pristava house (the house is slightly above the road) and after the house we reach the next (smaller) intersection where we turn right. We then continue on the gravel road all the way to Križovec which we recognise by the junction of several roads (there are a few small parking areas at the junction and a cross).

Route description:
From Križovec we continue past the cross along the road towards Pusti Rovt. At the beginning, the road leads us past a barrier and then ascends gently through the forest. After about 15 minutes of walking it turns left and brings us out of the forest to the lower edge of Pusti Rovt. We continue along the road to which the marked path from Dom Pristava on Javorniški Rovt joins from the right, and after a few dozen steps of further walking this brings us to the shepherds' hut on Pusti Rovt.
From the shepherds' hut we continue along the road which in the upper part of Pusti Rovt turns right into the forest. A little further on, we reach a marked junction where we continue left (slightly right Sedlo Kočna and Struška) along the road which then gently ascends and traverses the slopes to the left. A little further the path from Markljev Rovt joins from the left and the road quickly brings us to Sedlo Suha.
From the saddle where the ridge path to Golica branches off slightly to the right, we continue along the road for a short time, then the signs for Koča na Golici direct us slightly right onto a footpath that ascends transversely towards the west. The path soon levels out completely, crosses some scenic slopes and then joins the path from Planina pod Golico in a gentle descent.
We continue towards Golica and continue the ascent along a fairly wide path which we follow all the way to Koča na Golici, reaching it after a good 10 minutes of further walking.
