Access to starting point:
We leave Primorska highway at exit Brezovica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Further, we drive through the valley of Gradaščica, and the main road towards Polhov Gradec we follow to a smaller crossroad, where a road towards villages Osredek, Topol (Katarina) and Belo branches off to the right (turn-off from the main road is located little before the beginning of the village Hrastenice). We park on an appropriate place by the mentioned crossroad.
Path description:
From the crossroad at the transformer we continue few steps on the main road towards Polhov Gradec, and then we go right in the direction of Grmada on a macadam road which continues past houses. Macadam road which leads us past few houses quickly brings us on a smaller saddle, where we continue straight downwards (sharply right cart track which leads on the eastern slopes of the peak Praprotno (527 meters) and further several times splits). The road then leads us past another house, and behind it we continue right on an ascending cart track. We continue the ascent diagonally through the forest, and past a smaller well we get to badly marked crossing, where we continue right. Further, we are moderately ascending through the forest, and by the path, we notice some of rare blazes, next to one is also caption for altitude. Higher, we get to some kind of a ridge by and on which we are then ascending towards the village Belo.
When we reach the village nice views open up, and the path further leads on mostly macadam road which in some crossroads we follow in the direction of open door farm Pr Lenart, which we quickly also reach.
From the farm we continue in the direction of Grmada, on a grassy cart track, on which we quickly get to a macadam road, and there we are gently ascending with nice views on Grmada and surrounding hills. At the hunting observatory worse road turns right and at the nearby house ends. House we bypass on the left side and we continue through a dense forest, where we at first walk on the left side of slope, and a little further we pass on the right side. Further, the path leads us through some lanes of pine forest, from where for some time also a view opens up a little and then the path returns into the forest and is ascending diagonally on a little slippery path. A little further, we reach the saddle Krvavi Vil, where there is a crossing of some paths.
From the crossing, we continue slightly right (slightly left Grmada, right downwards valley Kobilja dolina) and in few minutes we ascend to a marked path Katarina - Grmada. When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the right, and we walk towards Katarina to the spot, where a wider path starts descending. Right on the mentioned spot we leave the path towards Katarina and we continue straight in the direction of the summit Goljek. The path ahead starts ascending steeper, and we walk there to the few minutes distant peak, from which a view opens up a little.
