Križovec - Ptičji vrh

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice. When we come to the traffic light crossroad, where we join an old road, we continue right in the direction of Žirovnica. And we follow this road only a short time because at the next little larger crossroad (traffic light) we continue left in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through the underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). The road that higher starts ascending steeply we follow in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road ahead runs past the mountain hut Dom Pristava (mountain hut is little above the road) and behind the hut we come on next (smaller) crossroad, where we go right. Ahead we drive on a macadam road all the way to Križovec, which we recognize by crossroad of multiple roads (by the crossroad is few smaller parking spots and a cross).

Path description:
From Križovec we continue past a cross on the road in the direction of Pusti Rovt. The road at the beginning leads past a gate and is then slightly ascending through the forest. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, the road turns to the left and out of the forest brings us on the bottom edge of Pusti Rovt. We continue on the road which from the right joins the marked path from the mountain hut Dom Pristava v Javorniškem Rovtu, and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the shepherd hut on Pusti Rovt.
From the shepherd hut, we continue on the road, and in the upper part Pusti Rovt it turns right in the forest. And only a little further we come at the marked crossing, where we continue slightly right (left Golica) on a moderately steep path, which only a few meters higher crosses relatively new road which leads to the mountain pasture Belska planina - Svečica. The mentioned road, we only cross and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which soon passes out of the forest on panoramic slopes below the saddle Sedlo Kočna. We continue the ascent past a smaller hunting cottage, behind which we soon come to watering place for animals. Only a short ascent follows and the path brings us on a saddle Sedlo Kočna, from which a nice view opens up on the Austrian side.
On the saddle, we continue left (right Struška) and for a short time, we still continue on a marked path towards Golica. After a shorter gentle ascent marked path avoids the ridge a little to the left, and right on this spot we leave it and we continue the ascent on a poorly visible footpath which continues by the border ridge. The path ahead for a short time a little steeper ascends, and then it slightly flattens and then it continues in a moderate ascent. This path, from which increasingly beautiful views opening up, we then follow all the way to a grassy peak.

On the way: Pusti Rovt (1300m), Sedlo Kočna (1469m)
