Zreče (Terme Zreče) - Golek

Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit for Slovenske Konjice, and then we follow the signs for Zreče. When we get to Zreče, we park on a parking lot at spa Terme Zreče.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road which continues towards the north, and we soon get to a marked crossing, where a marked path branches off to the right towards Gorenje and Rogla, and we still continue on the road or sidewalk. The road, on which we walk in a gentle ascent gradually turns towards the northwest, and after approximately 15 minutes at the chapel we go left on a side road, by which after few steps we notice the first signs for Golek.
At the signs we go right, where we go past few houses, and at the next chapel the path splits.
We continue straight in the direction of tourist farm Ančka and the peak Golek (right - Golek via Bork).
A little further, the settlement ends, and the path ahead leads us by the pasture. At the first crossroad, we go straight, at the second, before the quarry we go right towards the summit of Golek on a macadam path (straight - TK Ančka). Macadam road quickly brings us into the forest, where the path once again splits.
This time as well we continue straight (right - steep path) and we continue the ascent on a macadam road which is ascending above the nearby stream. Higher, we get to a pasture, where joins the path which leads past TK Ančka, and before the cross we continue sharply right on a marked footpath which ascends diagonally through the forest. A little further, we return on the road and we follow it to the right, and we walk there to the near fenced place. Before the fenced place we go right and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which higher leads by the edge of the meadow, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Donačka gora, Boč and Konjiška gora. Here the path goes right into the forest, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the road, where from the right side joins the path via Bork.
We continue straight towards Golek and we are at first still ascending through the forest, and when we step by the edge of the meadow, the path brings us to a projecting roof with benches and tables, which is situated only a little below the summit. We continue by the edge of the forest, where from the right joins also the steep path and in a minute of additional walking, we reach the peak Golek.
