Marija Reka (Strgarjev kamnolom) - Golava (Ovčja pot)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Šentrupert (from Ljubljana) or Šempeter (from Celje) and we continue driving in the direction of Prebold and Trbovlje. After Prebold road brings us in the village Marija Reka, where we continue driving by the stream ahead. When we get out of the gorge, we will in front of us notice farm Strgar, where in the past used to be the beginning of the path. We will park on an appropriate place. Appropriate place is a little further from the mentioned farm, and one is a little before the farm. The path starts by the bridge left from the road (right path goes on Reška planina).

Path description:
At the end of a some sort of gorge, the path towards Reška planina branches off to the right, and left through a meadow we will notice a smaller bridge, which crosses the stream. We continue over a small bridge and then right on a cart track upwards. For a short time, we walk on the cart track, and then immediately after the first sharp turn we leave it and we continue the ascent on a marked path, which is ascending steeper through the forest. Higher, we step out of the forest on an already quite overgrown meadow, where the path leads us past a decaying building, behind which we return into the forest. The path ahead leads us through a lane of a holly (Christmas holly), and higher below a short rocky slope. A little further, we get to the farm Huš, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Mrzlica (left - path Zvonetova pot on Golava) and we continue on a relatively gentle at first macadam road. When the road already becomes asphalted, it will bring us to the left turn, by which we will notice a cross and marked crossing.
Here we leave the road and we continue the ascent on a little overgrown cart track in the direction of Mrzlica. Higher, we get to the farm Kočet, by which there is a very loud dog. Above the farm, we return into the forest (here a shortcut branches off to the left) and we follow the marked path to a smaller saddle, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue in the direction of Golava and gradually we pass on the path Ovčja pot. Further, the path quickly becomes very steep and it is in numerous turns ascending through the forest. On the hardest part we get help from stairs and a steel cable. When the steel cable ends, we for some time step on a smaller clearing, and then through the forest we ascend on the steep path to bivouac Blažev bivak on Golava.
