Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Lipce (also possible Hrušica) and follow the road ahead towards Jesenice, where signs for Planina pod Golico direct us onto an ascending road (the turn-off is marked and located at the health center in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon brings us to the mentioned village, where in May, on the surrounding meadows, we can admire the blooming of daffodils. We park on one of the parking lots at the foot of the ski center Španov vrh.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road, which after a few minutes of walking brings us to a marked crossroads, where we continue left downwards in the direction of Rožca (straight Golica, right Španov vrh). We continue on the road, which past the church of the Holy Cross brings us to an unmarked crossroads (by the cross), where we continue right. From the mentioned road, a marked path soon branches off to the left to Rožca, and we continue straight past a few houses.
The road, which runs along the Beli potok stream, steeply ascends for a short time, then brings us to a decaying house, where we continue right on a relatively steep cart track (left over the small bridge to Rožca).
The steepness of the cart track, which runs through dense forest, soon eases, and it brings us after a few minutes of further walking to a junction, where we continue on the right ascending cart track (between both cart tracks, a smaller cairn is placed on a stump).
The cart track soon passes from the forest onto a short rocky and panoramic slope, then returns to the forest, where it continues to the forest road. We only cross the mentioned road, then ascend the avalanche slope straight upwards (this part of the path was entirely destroyed by the avalanche).
While ascending the avalanche slope, we keep to the left side, as after approximately 50 m of ascent on that side we will notice a cart track that continues through the forest.
Already after a few steps of ascent through the forest, we step onto a smaller clearing, at the edge of which stands a small wooden hut. We continue on the wide path, which crosses a strip of forest, and it soon brings us to the lower part of the pasture, where we step onto a smaller junction. We continue right, cross the grazing fence, and in a few steps ascend to the shepherd hut Golica.
From the shepherd hut, we continue upwards across the pasture, but only to the fence of the upper part of the pasture. Here we continue left into the forest, where we step onto an easy-to-follow cart track, along which we then ascend diagonally. The cart track, which crosses some avalanche slopes, brings us higher out of the forest, where it changes into a footpath. The path ahead crosses a shorter strip of forest and then joins the marked path from the hut on Golica towards Rožca.
We follow the mentioned path to the left and ascend gently along it to Jekljevo sedlo, where we step onto the border ridge.
We continue sharply right (east direction) along an initially poorly visible and relatively poorly marked path, which begins to ascend gently along the border ridge. The panoramic path, which occasionally crosses some strips of sparse forest, higher begins to ascend more steeply along the locally slightly exposed ridge. Further on, the marked path withdraws from the ridge to the right, where it crosses some steep grassy slopes (in wet conditions, danger of slipping). The steepness soon eases, and the path quickly brings us to an indistinct forepeak, on which a memorial plaque is placed. We continue along the increasingly panoramic path, along which in a few minutes of further walking we ascend to the summit of Golica.
