Access to starting point:
We drive on the road Dolenjska cesta in Ljubljana, where at the crossroad with Galjevica we turn towards the northeast towards the nearby health center Rudnik and Rakovnik church. We can park on an appropriate place by the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which before the church turns left, and we walk there to the wooden cross, where we go right on a cart track. Cart track passes on a meadow and immediately changes into a moderately steep footpath which is ascending by the edge of a panoramic meadow. At first, the path still offers nice views on Rakovnik church, Rakovnik, Ljubljana marsh and Krim, and then it gradually passes into the forest. The path continues by the edge of the forest (here from the right joins also the path past the chapel) and crosses slopes towards the right. Before we step to a bench with a nice view we turn left into a dense forest, on a footpath, by which there are also green-yellow blazes. Further, the path on the right side bypasses less known Zeleni vrh (peak above shooting range), where flattens even more. Next follows few minutes of walking and the path brings us to a macadam road which leads towards the nearby observatory on Golovec. The mentioned road, we follow right to the observatory on Golovec, or sharp left turn.
At the turn, which is located right next to the observatory, we notice an information board for forest learning path Golovec, which points us on a wide and at first gently sloping cart track. After few minutes of walking, the cart track for a short time moderately ascends, and then starts gradually descending. After few minutes of descent, we come to a forest road which we only cross, and then we join Trail of remembrance and comradeship. We follow the mentioned path to the left, and after few shorter ascents, it brings us on Črni hrib (highest point of the mentioned path).
From Črni hrib we at first slightly descend, and when the path flattens we come on an unmarked crossing. Here we leave Trail of remembrance and comradeship and we continue on the right footpath by which we notice one of otherwise rare blazes on the path. Only few 10 meters ahead we come to the next unmarked crossing. This time we continue left and after a short ascent, we step on the highest peak of Golovec.
