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

Access to starting point:
From the 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 the road brings us to the village Marija Reka, where we continue driving by the stream ahead. When we get out of the gorge, we will notice in front of us the Strgar farm, where the beginning of the path used to be in the past. We will park on an appropriate place. An 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 the path goes to Reška planina).

Route description:
At the end of 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 the 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 continue the ascent on a marked path, which ascends 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 holly (božje drvce), 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 Zvonetova pot on Golava) and continue on a relatively gentle initially 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 continue the ascent on a slightly 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 pass on to the Ovčja pot. Further on, the path quickly becomes very steep and ascends in numerous turns through the forest. On the hardest part stairs and a steel cable help us. When the steel cable ends we temporarily step on a smaller clearing, and then through the forest we ascend on the steep path to Blažev bivak on Golava.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, summit register
