Planina pod Golico - Klek (via Ovčarska koča)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, we take the Lipce exit (or Hrušica) and continue towards Jesenice, where signs for Planina pod Golico direct us onto an ascending road (the junction is marked and located near the health center in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon leads us to the mentioned village, where in May we can admire the blooming narcissi in the surrounding meadows. We park at one of the parking lots at the foot of the Španov vrh ski center.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the asphalt road, which after a few minutes of walking leads us to a marked junction, where we continue left downhill towards Rožca (straight ahead Golica, right Španov vrh). We follow the road past the Church of the Holy Cross to an unmarked junction (at the cross), where we continue right. From this road, a marked path to Rožca soon branches off to the left, but we continue straight past a few houses.
The road along the Beli potok steepens for a short time, then leads us to a dilapidated house, where we continue right along a relatively steep cart track (left across the small bridge to Rožca).
The steepness of the cart track through dense forest soon eases, and after a few more minutes of walking it leads us to a fork, where we continue along the right ascending cart track (between the two tracks a small cairn is placed on a stump).
The cart track soon leaves the forest onto a short rocky and scenic slope, then returns to the forest and continues until it reaches a forest road. We merely cross this road, then ascend straight up a landslide-prone slope (this section of the path was completely destroyed by a landslide).
While ascending the landslide slope, we keep to the left side, as after about 50 m of ascent we will notice a cart track on that side continuing through the forest.
After just a few steps uphill through the forest, we reach a small clearing with a small wooden hut at its edge. We continue along a wide path that crosses a strip of forest and soon leads us to the lower part of the mountain pasture, where we come to a small junction. We continue right, cross the pasture fence and in a few steps ascend to the Golica shepherds' hut.
From the shepherds' hut we continue uphill across the pasture but only as far as the fence of the upper part of the pasture. Here we turn left into the forest onto a well-defined cart track, which we then follow transversely uphill. The cart track crosses several landslide slopes and higher up leads us out of the forest, where it turns into a footpath. The path continues across a short stretch of forest and then joins the marked path from the hut on Golica towards Rožca.
We follow this path to the left and ascend gently to Jekljevo sedlo, where we reach the border ridge.
We continue along the initially gentle path heading west. After a few more minutes of walking the path begins to ascend more steeply along the northeastern slopes of Klek. The path, partly running along a gravel torrent, higher up turns left and after a short traverse leads us to a grassy ridge, where we also leave the marked path.
On this ridge we continue right and ascend further along the border ridge, across which runs an occasionally somewhat faint track. In the upper section the track widens and after a few more minutes of walking leads us to the scenic summit.
