Planina pod Golico - Koča na Golici (via Ovčarska koča)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (possible also Hrušica) and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice, and there signs for Planina pod Golico point us on an ascending road (turn-off is marked and is located at health center in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon brings us in the mentioned village, where we can in May on surrounding meadows admire blooming of daffodils. We park on one of the parking lots by the foot of the ski center Španov vrh.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which after few minutes of walking, it brings us to a marked crossroad, where we continue left downwards in the direction of Rožca (straight Golica, right Španov vrh). We continue on the road which past the church of the Holy Cross brings us to an unmarked crossroad (by the cross), where we continue right. From the mentioned road soon marked path branches off to the left on Rožca, and we continue straight past few houses.
The road which runs by stream Beli potok for a short time steeply ascends, and then it brings us to a decaying house, where we continue right on a relatively steep cart track (left over a small bridge Rožca).
The steepness of the cart track which runs through a dense forest soon decreases and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right ascending cart track (between the both cart tracks on a stump there is placed a smaller cairn).
Cart track soon passes out of the forest on a short rocky and panoramic slope, after that returns into the forest, where we continue until we get on the forest road. The mentioned road, we only cross, and then we ascend on avalanche slope straight upwards (this part of the path was entirely ruined by the avalanche).
When we are ascending on an avalanche slope we stick to the left side, because on the mentioned side we will after approximately 50 meters of ascent notice a cart track which continues through the forest.
Already after few steps of the ascent through the forest, we step on a smaller clearing, by the edge of which stands a smaller wooden cottage. We continue on the wide path, which crosses a lane of a forest, and it soon brings us on the lower part of the mountain pasture, where we step on a smaller crossing. We continue right, we cross a grazing fence and in few steps we ascend to the shepherd hut Golica.
From the shepherd hut, we continue on a pleasant footpath which soon brings us to a fence on the upper part of the mountain pasture. We cross the fence and we continue the ascent on a narrower grassy slope (on this part the footpath is poorly visible), on which we in few minutes ascend on an indistinct side ridge, where we notice a smaller wooden sign with faded caption Koča na Golici.
We continue the ascent on easy to follow path, which is diagonally ascending towards the east. Higher, we join the marked path from the saddle Jekljevo sedlo, which we follow to the right. Next follows few minutes of a crossing of relatively steep slopes and the path brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Golici.
