Access to starting point:
We drive to Dolenjska cesta in Ljubljana, where at the intersection with Galjevica we turn towards the northeast towards the nearby health center Rudnik and Rakovnik church. We can park at an appropriate place by the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which before the church turns left, and we walk along it to the wooden cross, where we go right on a cart track. The cart track leads onto a meadow and immediately changes into a moderately steep footpath which ascends along the edge of a panoramic meadow. At first, the path still offers nice views of the Rakovnik church, Rakovnik, Ljubljana Moor and Krim, and then it gradually enters the forest. The path continues along the edge of the forest (here from the right also the path past the chapel joins us) and crosses slopes to the right. Before we reach the bench with a nice view we turn left into the dense forest, onto a footpath along which there are also green-yellow blazes. Further on, the path on the right side bypasses the less known Zeleni vrh (peak above the shooting range), where it flattens even more. A few minutes of walking follow and the path brings us to a macadam road which leads to the nearby observatory on Golovec. We follow the mentioned road to the right to the observatory on Golovec, or to the sharp left turn.
At the turn, which is located right next to the observatory, we notice an information board for the forest educational path Golovec, which directs us onto a wide and initially gently sloping cart track. After a few minutes of walking, the cart track moderately ascends for a short time, then it starts gradually descending. After a few minutes of descent we come to a forest road, which we only cross, then we join the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship. We follow the mentioned path to the left, which after a few shorter ascents brings us to Črni hrib (highest point of the mentioned path).
From Črni hrib we first slightly descend, then, when the path levels out, we come to an unmarked junction. Here we leave the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship and continue along the right footpath along which we notice one of the otherwise rare blazes on the path. Just a few dozen meters further we come to the next unmarked junction. This time we continue left and after a short ascent we step onto the highest peak of Golovec.
