Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Šempeter and follow the road ahead in the direction of Šempeter. In Šempeter we turn right in the direction of village Šešče pri Preboldu and then we drive towards the village Matke. When we come to Matke, we continue driving by the stream to a crossroad, where it says Matke left and right (house numbers left 56, right 55). Here we park on a smaller parking lot before the crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right road which soon brings us to tourist farm. After the farm road turns left and it ascends diagonally through a wide meadow. When the road goes again in the forest, from it cart track branches off to the right, which after few minutes brings us on the upper part of the meadow, which we were recently watching from below (it is also possible to ascent directly through a meadow, but only when on a cart track, they do forestry work). We follow the cart track for few minutes, and then marked footpath points us right steeply upwards. The path, mostly runs on a vegetated ridge, relatively steeply upwards. A little below the summit, we come to a nice vantage point, named Gradišče (caption on rock). The path then goes again in the forest and on a narrower ridge brings us to bivouac on the top of Golava.
