Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Maribor, we go to the exit Blagovica, and then we continue driving towards the mentioned settlement. Only few 10 meters after the sign Blagovica, we notice signs for Golčaj, which point us to the right, on the road which goes through the underpass below the highway. We park on a parking lot right by the main road, opposite of the fire station.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on an ascending road which goes through the underpass, and then signs for Golčaj point us to the left on a steep footpath which is further ascending south from the highway, the traffic of which we still hear for some time. A little higher we cross the road and we continue the ascent on a wider cart track which leads us past the water catchment. Cart track then becomes increasingly steep and higher it brings us to a crossing, where we continue sharply left on a left cart track which we follow only a short time because then signs for Golčaj point us to the right on a nicely marked footpath. Higher, we for a short time join a narrow cart track, and then we again continue on a relatively steep mountain path. The path higher flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing right next to Golčaj. Here we continue left (right Limbarska gora) on a moderately steep forest path, on which in 3 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top.
From the top, we continue slightly right and after a short descent, we get to the nearby church of St. Neža. From the church, we return to a marked crossing below Golčaj (to the mentioned crossing we can also come on traverse path, which bypasses Golčaj), and then we continue in the direction of Limbarska gora. The path ahead for some time runs almost horizontal, and then it starts considerably descending. A well-marked path, which has quite a few crossings, soon flattens and past a cross brings us to an asphalt road which runs on Limbarska gora. We for some time continue on the mentioned road, and then at the smaller hamlet blazes point us to the right downwards on a macadam road. Next follows a short descent, and then the road turns at first to the left and then also to the right and then in a moderate ascent brings us to the next hamlet. Here we walk through few yards, and then blazes point us on a grassy cart track, on which through a panoramic slope we return on an asphalt road. Next follows a short gentle ascent and the path brings us to the inn and church on the top of Limbarska gora.
