Zavrh pri Trojanah - Limbarska gora (via Golčaj)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway, take the Blagovica exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Trojane. Before we reach Trojane, signs for Zavrh pri Trojanah point us right onto a narrower local road, along which we notice hiking markers for Doline and Stolp na Rebri. We can park already near the intersection, more precisely beside the nearby monument, or we can drive the car a little higher and then park on a suitable place by the road.
B) From the Maribor–Ljubljana highway, take the Trojane exit, then continue driving on the parallel old road towards Domžale. At the end of Trojane, in the middle of the right bend, signs for Zavrh pri Trojanah point us left onto a narrower local road, along which we notice hiking markers for Doline and Stolp na Rebri. We can park already near the intersection, more precisely beside the nearby monument, or we can drive the car a little higher and then park on a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a narrower asphalt road, from which soon a nice view opens up on Trojane. Higher, the asphalt ends, and we continue on a macadam road in the direction towards Reber, Doline and Golčaj. Only a little further, the road turns to the right and passes into the forest, through which it starts ascending steeper. After a good 10 minutes of additional walking, the road flattens and brings us to an intersection, by which there is a smaller sign.
Here we continue slightly left (slightly right Doline) and continue on a moderately ascending road, on which we quickly arrive at the next junction at a larger quarry.
Here we continue right in the direction of Golčaj (sharply left Reber, left Kolovrat) and continue on the road which starts moderately descending. During the descent, the path past the farm Dolinar (Doline) joins us from the right, and we follow the road to a smaller house, where we turn left upwards on the diagonally ascending cart track. The cart track already after a few minutes brings us to a smaller saddle, where we continue right. A few minutes of traversing follow, then the cart track changes into a footpath, on which we quickly arrive at the ridge Na škalah. We reach the ridge right on a smaller saddle, where we pass to the left south side of the ridge. When we step on the south side of the ridge, the path gradually starts descending diagonally. After a good 15 minutes of moderate descent, the path brings us out of the forest onto panoramic and relatively scenic slopes. We continue the descent across scree and several smaller gullies to the forest, through which we quickly descend to the nearby macadam road.
When we step on the road, we follow it to the right, and we walk along it to the village Borje pri Mlinšah. Here at the intersection at the chapel, we continue right, then past the church we walk above the village. We walk along the road for a few more minutes, then signs for Golčaj direct us slightly left onto a footpath, which first gently ascends, then moderately descends to another, at first still asphalt road. The asphalt soon ends, and the road after a few minutes of ascent temporarily starts descending. A little further on, we arrive at a smaller intersection, where we continue slightly right on the marked road, which quickly brings us to the church of St. Neža on Golčaj.
From the church, we continue in the direction of the summit Golčaj and on a somewhat steeper path in two minutes of additional walking ascend to Golčaj, where there are an inscription box and NOB monument.
From the top of Golčaj we continue left downwards, where we quickly arrive at a marked junction, where the path from Blagovica and the path from the church of St. Neža (path which bypasses the top of Golčaj) join us.
From the junction, we continue on a wide marked path in the direction of Limbarska gora. The path ahead for some time runs almost horizontally, then starts descending more noticeably. The well-marked path, which has quite a few junctions, soon flattens and brings us past a cross to the asphalt road that leads to Limbarska gora. We continue along the mentioned road for some time, then at a smaller hamlet the markers direct us right downwards onto a macadam road. A short descent follows, then the road first turns left and then right, and in a moderate ascent brings us to the next hamlet. Here we walk through a few courtyards, then the markers direct us onto a grassy cart track, along which across a panoramic slope we return to the asphalt road. A short gentle ascent follows and the path brings us to the inn and church on the top of Limbarska gora.
