Planina pod Golico - Španov vrh

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (possible also Hrušica) and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice, and there signs for Planina pod Golico point us on an ascending road (turn-off is marked and is located at health center in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon brings us in the mentioned village, where we can in May on surrounding meadows admire blooming of daffodils. We park on one of the parking lots by the foot of the ski center Španov vrh.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road which after few minutes of walking, it brings us to a marked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Španov vrh and ski cottage Črni vrh (left Rožca, straight Golica). The road on which we continue the ascent crosses the stream and only few steps further brings us to an unmarked crossroad, where we continue on the left increasingly steep road. The road which is ascending past individual holiday cottages and by which we notice rare and faded blazes, higher ascends even steeper and then it brings us to the spot, where we cross a ski track.
The steepness then soon decreases and a more panoramic path which runs through numerous meadows quickly brings us to ski cottage Črni vrh.
From the ski cottage, we continue slightly left in the direction of Pristava. Still poorly marked path, after a short ascent, it brings us to a midway station of one-seater chairlift Španov vrh.
We continue right by the edge of at first gentle ski track, and then blazes point us to the right on an ascending cart track, on which we are ascending mostly through a thin forest.
Higher, we notice a signpost for Španov vrh, which points us to the left, on a footpath which ascends past numerous holiday cottages. Further path for a short time flattens and brings us out of the forest on panoramic upper slopes of Španov vrh. After few additional strides, we step on the edge of a ski track, on which in few minutes of a little steeper ascent we ascend on Španov vrh.
