Križovec - Mala Golica

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

Route description:
From Križovec we continue past the cross on the road in the direction of Pusti Rovt. The road at the beginning leads past a gate and then slightly ascends through the forest. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, the road turns to the left and brings us out of the forest to the bottom edge of Pusti Rovt. We continue on the road to which from the right joins the marked path from the mountain hut Dom Pristava at Javorniški Rovt, which after a few 10 strides of further walking brings us to the shepherd hut on Pusti Rovt.
From the shepherd hut we continue on the road, which in the upper part of Pusti Rovt turns right into the forest. A little further we come to a marked junction, where we continue left (slightly right Sedlo Kočna and Struška) on the road which ahead in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes towards the left. A little further the path from Markljev Rovt joins us from the left, and the road quickly brings us to or just below Sedlo Suha.
From the road we walk in a few steps to the border ridge, then continue the ascent towards the west. The unmarked but orientationally undemanding path ahead first ascends moderately, then steeply on the grassy ridge of Mala Golica. Higher the path flattens, and it is exactly there that we leave it and continue the ascent to the right, where after a short ascent (i.e. a few 10 steps) across the grassy slope we reach the summit of Mala Golica.

Along the route: Pusti Rovt (1296m), Sedlo Suha (1438m)
