From the parking lot at the primary school on an asphalt road, we ascend to the inn Dobnikar, and from there we continue on the asphalt road, that runs on some sort of ridge, we then get to the next crossroad, where we continue slightly right in the direction of village Belo, Grmada and Tošč.
On the road, we walk for approximately 10 minutes, and then we get to a marked crossing at quarry, where the road turns to the left, and marked path towards Grmada continues slightly right. Here we continue straight on a cart track which continues only slightly right from the quarry, and by it we notice black-yellow blazes. Further, we are for some time ascending diagonally, and then we get to a smaller saddle and to an old house.
At the power line pole we leave overgrown cart track and we continue right in the direction of the summit Goljek. Next follows few minutes of ascent and we are already on the summit, from which a little view opens up.
