Access to starting point:
We leave Štajerska highway at exit for Slovenske Konjice, and then we follow the signs for Zreče. When we get to Zreče, we park on a parking lot at spa Terme Zreče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road which continues towards the north, and we soon get to a marked crossing, where a marked path branches off to the right towards Gorenje and Rogla, and we still continue on the road or sidewalk. The road, on which we walk in a gentle ascent gradually turns towards the northwest, and after approximately 15 minutes at the chapel we go left on a side road, by which after few steps we notice the first signs for Golek.
At the signs we go right, where we go past few houses, and at the next chapel the path splits.
We continue right in the direction of Golek via Bork (straight - tourist farm Ančka and Golek) and we start ascending on a narrower road. Higher, after the water supply structure we go left and then right into the forest, where we continue on a marked hiking path. Few minutes we are ascending through the forest and then we reach a macadam road which we follow right upwards, and from there already after few steps we go right on an indistinct ridge, on which we are then ascending steeper. When we leave the forest we go left and we ascend by the farm Bork to a macadam road. On the road in few steps we get to a small saddle, from which a nice view opens up, and at the nearby crossroad, we go left. The road, on which we continue changes into a cart track, and it passes into the forest. Through the forest, we follow the blazes and we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly left (slightly right - Ljubnica).
The path ahead leads us on a cart track which is diagonally ascending, and a little ahead our path is crossed by steep path on Golek.
We continue straight, and the cart track a little ahead reaches a macadam road, on which we continue to the nearby marked crossing.
From the crossing, we go right towards the summit Golek (left downwards - normal path to Zreče) and we are at first still ascending through the forest, and when we step by the edge of a meadow, the path brings us to a projecting roof with benches and tables, which are situated only a little below the summit. We continue by the edge of the forest, where from the right joins also the steep path and in a minute of additional walking, we reach the peak Golek.
