Planina pod Golico (Betel) - Belska planina (Svečica)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway we take the Lipce exit (or Hrušica) and continue on the road towards Jesenice, where signs for Planina pod Golico direct us onto the ascending road (the junction is marked and located at the health centre in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon brings us to the mentioned village, where in May we can admire the blooming of narcissi in the surrounding meadows. From Planina pod Golico we continue to the next intersection, where numerous hiking signposts are visible. Here we continue right and drive another good 50 m to the parking area below Savske jame.

Route description:
From the parking area we continue straight along the road, beside which we notice signs for Golica and the Savske jame toboggan run (if we walk a few steps back from the parking area the path leads past Kmečki turizem Betel).
After 10 minutes of walking the toboggan run and one of the marked paths towards Golica turn left and begin to ascend more steeply from Korlnov rov. We continue straight and keep ascending along the wider road that runs beside Črni potok.
The path then brings us to a junction where we cross another road and continue straight in the direction of the marked path towards Golica. We continue ascending along a poorer and in places quite overgrown cart track. About 10 minutes higher we cross the road once more (if we continue left along it we reach the lower station of the freight cableway leading to Koča na Golici; to the right we return to the starting point). After the road we also cross a pasture fence and then step onto the grassy slopes of Markljev Rovt, where a few private houses stand.
At Markljev Rovt the path forks. We take the right trail that ascends gently beside the torrent bed (slightly left leads the path to Golica via Sedlo Suha). Higher up the path becomes somewhat steeper, crosses the torrent and then turns right, where after a few more minutes of walking it joins the road from Pusti Rovt.
We follow the road to the left (right leads to Pusti Rovt and Križovec) and quickly reach a fork where we turn right following the signs for Struška (here too one of the paths to Golica leads left). Just a few steps further we reach a newer forest road and follow it to the right (straight ahead the old marked path and Sedlo Kočna continue).
The road subsequently passes onto the slopes of Struška, across which we ascend transversely to the right. The path first leads through forest, then higher across a scenic avalanche slope. The gradient eases higher up and we ascend through the last belt of dense forest to Belska planina or Svečica, where a mountain shepherd's hut stands and from where a splendid view opens.
