Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Lipce exit (also Hrušica possible) and follow the road ahead towards Jesenice, where signs for Planina pod Golico direct us to an ascending road (the turn-off is marked and located at the health centre 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. From Planina pod Golico we drive ahead to the next crossroad, where we notice numerous signposts. Here we continue right and drive another good 50 meters to the parking lot below Savske jame.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the lower road in the direction of Golica and Savske jame sledding track. After 10 minutes the sledding track turns steeply upwards to the left, while we continue on the wide road, which continues to ascend moderately beside the stream. A little further, we come to a crossroad, where we continue straight ahead (between both roads) in the direction of Golica. Further on, we ascend along a poorer, quite overgrown cart track, which after 15 minutes of moderate ascent brings us to a macadam road, which we merely cross. This is followed by crossing a pasture fence and the path brings us to the grassy slopes of Markljev Rovt.
Behind the alpine pasture the path enters the forest, crosses a smaller sandy gully and then ascends moderately to the next forest road, where we continue left. We follow the road for only a few minutes to the path junction at the Suha saddle. Here we continue along the ridge path in the direction of Golica (the lower path leads to the hut, right to Ptičji vrh, Struška and Stol). Further on, we ascend along the path, which rises quite steeply across the grassy slopes. Higher up, the gradient eases and the path bypasses the lesser-known peak called Krvavka (1784 m) on the left side.
A slight descent follows and the path brings us to the saddle between the mentioned peak and Golica. Just a few steps further, the path from the Koča na Golici hut joins us from the left. From here to the summit, we have only another 10 minutes of gentle ascent along the panoramic summit slope of Golica.

Discussion about the trip Planina pod Golico - Kahlkogel/Golica (via Suha saddle)

Recently we were on Golica and I can say it's wonderful. Nicely arranged and marked path, although quite steep and quick ascent. But everything is rewarded with a wonderful view at the top. Narcissi are not blooming yet, but soon they will and then it will be very nice. I RECOMMEND.

On 28 April narcissi were already blooming on Planina pod Golico and under Mala Golica the flowers were already boldly opening. The path is beautiful but steep (but not as much as Betel - Golica). I don't agree that the path is well marked, as we were in doubt several times if we were on the right path. Walking time from Planina pod Golico, over Sedlo Suha, Mala Golica, Krvavko and then to Golica is less than 4 hours with stops for photos and rest. Views are beautiful - Triglav and Austrian Carinthia. Worth a visit!

I'm interested when the WINTER PATH to Golica was newly marked. Regards

We were thinking of approaching Golica from Stol, so I'm interested in what the path along the ridge is like and how long it is. I'm sure someone has already hiked it, so I politely ask for information. Thanks and best hiking greetings to ALL!

This path is very poorly marked, if someone goes on this path for the first time they can easily stray onto another path, moreover threats with a vicious bull in three languages on the intermediate pasture (empty!) somehow don't belong on hiking trails, so as if the farmer doesn't like people walking across his property.

...Daffodils along the ridge from Suha saddle towards Krvavka, or rather Golica are already there. White meadows and intoxicating scent accompany you for quite a while. There are still many unbloomed ones, so this beauty will last another ten days or so. On Markljev rovtu you can pick dandelion flowers, best regards ...Majda

We walked the path with my husband on Saturday and it's really not well marked. But the right direction can be found. When going straight from the road through the forest, follow the signpost pointing to Nepomukov kot. When crossing the pasture with the scary bull that isn't there (nor any other livestock, as the pasture is empty ), you need to turn left uphill, past the barn. We went right, along the gully on the pasture and then came back to the road, which we then followed to sedlo Suha. This just shortened the path a bit for us. I think the path described here is nicer to walk than the one past Betla and Fenc, which is quite torn up. And the views are better too.

On Monday from the hut on Golica I was figuring out that maybe from the saddle Suha one could get via Mala Golica to Krvavka. Today I started at Planina pod Golico and via Markljev Rovt to saddle Suha. The first steep part at the saddle I did still with snowshoes, continued without. On the ridge on our side there are some snow tongues that can be bypassed, on Krvavka it's advisable to turn back until nature does its work. More http://stezeinsledi.blogspot.com/

Today, on 28.09.2014, on the path from Planina pod Golico to the summit and down to sedlo Suha and back to Planina pod Golico, I lost black car keys without a keychain - Alfa Romeo. If anyone finds them, please notify me. Thank you!

The path is really not well marked, you're in doubt if you're even on Markljev rovt, where actually. We two missed it, we crossed the planina towards the east and arrived too early on that road that comes from Pusti rovt and thus extended the path. Then on that road we saw which path we should actually have taken. So correctly it would be, at least I think, to cross the planina towards the north, there among the buildings somewhere.

Regarding Ločanka's comment, is the path from Markljev Rovt now better marked? If not, where above that hut (not quite a hut) do you head to reach the saddle up there, I was there last year but don't remember exactly:Thanks

At Markljev Rovt, behind the fence there is a nice sign with a drawn narcissus, for Golica. Follow the path and you reach a forest road. Walk left along the road for a while and you are at Suho sedlo. Then just up towards Mala Golica. Good luck!

When you come through the woods to Markljev rovt, immediately turn left up the grass slope, after some 10 m you spot a path and this after approx. 100 m turns left again into the forest, through the fence,, there you turn right towards the north where you see the path ahead towards the Suha saddle

Excellent, I think there won't be problems. Just this part I didn't quite remember. Many thanks

to report, marking is excellent, as said, if you follow it, you can't miss.

The path description should be gradually refreshed... That is... When you reach the crossroads via the mining path, keep right where the forest road is covered with a few meters of new asphalt. The mentioned asphalt turns to gravel, then soon another crossroads, the path directs left on a normally drivable gravel road. We follow this road for some time, then reach Markljev Rovt. From here things become more or less simple.
I'd add that this path is really super, as you quickly reach the scenic ridge and climb towards Golica for quite some time on really wonderful scenic slopes... Return via the hut on Golica to make a wonderful circular tour.

DLteam, thanks for the last comment and the note in the last paragraph...that's exactly what I wanted to ask, how to make a nice loop and walk most of the time on the scenic ridge? I've been to Golica before, but then with school hikers and we adapted to them, of course, now I'd like something new for myself. I'll pin this "sausage".

Hurry up, as soon as possible, the narcissuses on the ridge are in full bloom!

Enka, thanks, this week, on Thursday I have a burning desire, and may the weather be "just right" too.

Personally, walking on macadam doesn't suit me at all.
If you go up the described trail, you have it for almost an hour. And cars drive by...

I know that under Golica(Krkavka...Ptičji vrh) there are no narcissus yet, what about Plavški rovt, are there maybe?
thanks

Under Španov vrh there are already quite a few, otherwise for now more buds than flowers, but in Plavški rovt they are already nicely blooming. Regards
