Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Naklo, Podtabor or Brezje, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kropa. At the crossroad, where in the direction of straight road continues towards Kropa we turn right and further we drive through Kamna Gorica. Ahead we for some time still drive through the valley Lipniška dolina, and then we turn left in the direction of Spodnja Lipnica and hunting cottage Lovska koča na Taležu. After the hamlet Kolnica asphalt ends and the road takes us into the forest. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
B) From highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Lesce or Radovljica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Radovljica and later village Lancovo, Lipnica and Kamna Gorica. Further road over a bridge crosses the river Sava and on the other side it gradually starts ascending. The path ahead leads us through Lancovo, and then we descend into a valley Lipniška dolina, where we soon turn right into Spodnja Lipnica. The road then leads us past the source of Lipnica and hamlet Kolnica, where the asphalt ends. We park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road which is at first gentlly and then moderately ascending through the forest. We some time walk on the road, and then past the area of water catchment we get to the spot, where from the right side the marked path from the valley joins.
Here we leave the road and we continue left in the forest, where we follow otherwise visible, but hard to follow footpath, by which the blazes are rare and many of them are already very faded. Further, we are ascending through the forest, at first on still wide cart tracks, and then the path becomes steeper and it mostly continues on forest footpaths and old cart tracks. Orientationally quite difficult path, which is further still poorly marked, higher brings us to a forest road which we follow to the left to the nearby crossroad. From the crossroad, we don't continue on the left and not on the right road, but straight on a marked footpath which continues on and by the cart track. The path soon steeply ascends and in few minutes brings us to a wider cart track, on which we ascend to the near forest road. When we step on the road, we again continue left, and the road in few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the mountain pasture Goška ravan. Here we continue right and we walk to the nearby mountain hut.
