Planina pod Golico - Klek (via hunting cottage Muzgovca)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we 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. We park on one of the parking lots at the foot of the ski centre Španov vrh.

Route 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 downhill 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. The path ahead leads us past a few houses, and then we soon notice signposts which direct us left onto a footpath.
The path ahead ascends along a quite muddy cart track, then passes into a dense forest, where it continues on and beside the cart track. Locally poorly visible path, which all the time runs through the forest, brings us higher to a forest road, which we only cross. We continue the ascent on a wide cart track, which first ascends beside a clearing, then returns to the forest.
The cart track, which is becoming ever worse, then quickly brings us to a smaller, usually swampy clearing, where it ends.
Here we will slightly to the right notice an already quite faded marking, which directs us onto a footpath that is poorly visible for a short time and somewhat steeper. Soon the path brings us to a wide ridge, where it widens. We continue the ascent on the mentioned ridge, which is surrounded by a grazing fence. Already after a few metres of ascent along the grazing fence, the marked path turns left downhill, but we continue straight on an unmarked path, which gently ascends beside the mentioned fence. After approximately 3 minutes of walking along the fence, we will on the left side notice at first a poorly visible pathlet, which after a few steps of ascent brings us to a wide but partly already overgrown cart track. We continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track, which quickly brings us to the hunting cottage Muzgovca.
A few metres before the hunting cottage, at a smaller junction we continue left on the still unmarked path (cart track), which further ascends in zigzags. Higher the mentioned path brings us to a ridge, where it starts to disappear. We continue the ascent on the ridge, which soon opens onto wide grazing areas.
We continue further in the same direction (along the ridge) and soon we will step onto a poorly trodden pathlet, which ascends from Jeseniška planina. We continue on the mentioned pathlet, which higher crosses the marked path Rožca - Golica and brings us just a little after that to the main ridge of the Karawanks. Here we continue left on a panoramic path, along which in a few minutes we ascend to the summit of Klek.
