Access to starting point:
From Medvode we drive to the village Sora, from there we continue driving in the direction of the village Topol (Katarina). Soon after the village Sora we come to the village Trnovec (rarely inhabited area), where we will notice by the road the mountain signposts for the mountain hut Dom na Govejku, Osolnik and the log cabin Osolnik (right next to the mountain signposts there is also a smaller crossroads). We park on the parking lot by the road.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we carefully cross the road and then start ascending on a macadam road in the direction of the log cabin Osolnik. After approximately ten minutes of moderate ascent, we will arrive at a marked junction, where we leave the road. The mountain signposts for the mountain hut Dom na Govejku direct us left onto a marked footpath, which further ascends along the stream Govejski graben. A little further ahead, we cross the mentioned stream, and the path ascends along a somewhat smaller right tributary of the mentioned stream. A little further still, over a smaller wooden bridge, we cross the second stream, then we start ascending a very steep little path, which higher up brings us to an unmarked junction.
We continue on the right less distinct path (the left path leads through the yard of a private house and is therefore not recommended, the blazes also led there but are now faded), along which in a few dozen steps of further walking we ascend to a gentle cart track, which we follow to the left. Just a few meters ahead, a "path" joins us from the left, which leads past the mentioned homestead, but we continue on the macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Govejku. The road ahead starts to ascend moderately, and we follow it all the way to the mountain hut Dom na Govejku, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.

Discussion about the trip Trnovec - Dom na Govejku

The hill above Dom Govejek is called Gontarska planina 894m and not Grantarska planina. Let the moderator correct it!

The trail from Trnovec can be nicely circled, especially now when the hut is closed due to renovation. We continued across Gontarska planota to Brunarica Osovnik, then back to the valley. Because we (mistakenly) headed towards Sora, we unexpectedly extended the trip by walking in the valley to the car  . This circular tour is wonderful and offers many beautiful views in all directions!

We were there today. We did a circular tour. From Trnovec to Govejk, then further on, right of the hut, along the lower trodden path to Osolnik and back to Trnovec. Beautiful day , great winter idyll.

I must warn that I went on this path on Monday with my little dog, otherwise I regularly visit the surrounding hills. Along the path-on the side lives a lady who has an unleashed big black dog.. which attacked us. I'm still deciding what to do about it, because it is a marked path which is not safe.
Otherwise a nice trip, which you can extend to Osolnik as well.

I've been walking these paths since I was little, what's happening lately is horror, if I take that lady with the unleashed dog aside  , but I mean especially regarding unleashed dogs.
Unfortunately I have a small dog and we have already been attacked 
sad

not just the house, the problem is general, because all dogs are unleashed everywhere, but there's no one who writes fines. By law, the dog must be on a leash period no discussion.
Why can I always have mine on a leash, no need to make a fuss

Reply to Pemi:
You probably went along the path from the Legastja inn towards the Dom na Govejku. This path, which is marked as a hiking path, crosses private land at Mr. Micke's house. The owner of her land has every right to have the dog tied up or not. So you bear all responsibility for any unpleasant incident. The path, which was once just a narrow trail (as a shortcut to the main road, expanded by Micke's husband for his own use) and is not categorized as a public path. If you want peace from the dog, you have the option to go along the public road to Govejek.
In short, you are getting upset completely unjustifiably.

p.vojko - I went from Trnovec towards the Dom na Govejku,
I'm not getting upset, just a warning for passers-by, as I said general issue of unleashed dogs.
It's true that you can have your dog unleashed on your property, but it must be fenced off.
Extremely unpleasant when you're attacked - I won't wish it on anyone 
Okmodko- I agree, as I said, my two are always leashed, unfortunately we get bitten too often because of irresponsible owners :-(

Dear sir/madam!
The only solution is that the dog is tied up all the time. By the way, irresponsible owners left this dog with her. The other solution is to fence her yard, then the path will be closed, which none of us who go to Osolnik or Govejek want. I walk this path weekly and have not experienced this dog biting anyone - neither human nor other dog.. It is true that it always barks and someone gets scared of it, which the dog of course senses well and is then even braver. This does not defend Micka and her dog, but the fact is that we walk on hers and not she on ours.

My intention was not to drag this dog by the teeth, I just wanted to warn hikers who pass by here so they won't be surprised like me and have a ruined trip.
Maybe someone from the "authorities" reads these lines and will take care that the dog is no longer unleashed.
It doesn't matter if it bites or not - both of us were properly scared of it for the first time

This Saturday the little dog was on a leash, but I don't know if by chance...

About the problem of unleashed dogs, a lot has already been typed up here. Heated debates have arisen between us who claim that dogs must be leashed and those who claim that they can jump around and on people and on other dogs and do whatever they want. Supporters of the latter have even angrily left this portal because this is the last straw, that his dog can't do whatever it wants...
Hiking path = public path. Even if it goes through private! The owner of private land must not obstruct people crossing their land, of course if people strictly stick to the marked path and are aware that they are just 'in transit'. Releasing dogs on people is, as far as I'm concerned, obstruction.
I myself had two such cases, I reported both by email to the local police station. It's not true that the police don't respond. In both cases with me, they asked for additional information on the location of the irresponsible owner, in the second case the station commander even called me and told me they had a talk with the owner and warned him to keep the dog leashed. First they warn then they act. If everyone strictly reported such cases, there wouldn't be any more. Whoever doesn't straighten up even after warning should just pay the fine, I have no pity.
Otherwise, we also have means of defense against dogs that we discussed in the 'Where with the dog?' section. The above-mentioned stick is not quite suitable, but any object that the dog can grab is suitable, since it's cheaper than it grabbing us (dog doesn't distinguish between the attack object and its attached items). Then we have pepper sprays and stun guns. I use the latter now too. About 70% of mongrels get scared just from the sound of electricity and/or sparks in the dark and pee themselves. The second phase is then pepper spray (some stun guns are equipped with it), and the third is electric shock. Thank God I haven't had to use the latter yet.

VanSims I completely agree with you, and I have two dogs. My dogs are always on a leash, not because they would bite, but because that's the law, some find it logical that you have to pay for bread in the store ..but you can have a dog unleashed despite the law opposing it.
I hike a lot in the mountains and it really is a problem.
It's not necessary that the dog bites, there are children who will fear dogs all their life once it jumps on them ..etc..
I've been attacked too many times because of careless owners... and I can defend myself, but I have a 6 kg little dog - only once on the neck will be enough.
The problem is, when the attack happens, you can call the police, but the first free patrol will come, which might arrive in ?? ;-(
Ok, we've strayed a bit from the topic, sorry everyone :-)
and also.. before I can react in shock when the dog attacks, unfortunately it's too late :-(

You can still see the large amount of trees felled and broken by the ice storm.

My wife is heavily pregnant, so I'm wondering if she can drive to the hut, while I and my daughter go on foot. We'd go tomorrow, Saturday, 15.3. Is the hut open (Gora Trma wrote on 7.3. that it is).

Auntie Mici's little dog is not dangerous to people at all, but it persistently barks at every passerby. How it behaves towards dogs, I don't know, because I don't have one.

Ah, to add, is it possible to have a mountaineer's lunch at Mihelčič's hut? If not, where could one have lunch? Maybe near the starting point?
|
|
|
|
| Gora Trma14. 03. 2014 |
Possible, possible. Yum, yum... Bon appétit!
|
|
|
|
| Gora Trma14. 03. 2014 |
Aha, I need to supplement the answers.
The hut is open every day from 8am to 8pm, closed only on Mondays.
The 2.5 km gravel road from Gostilna Legastja to Mihelčičev dom on Govejku is easily drivable. 50 m from the hut there is a large parking lot.
Safe steps and bon appétit!

A few hours ago we returned from Dom na Govejku. Food good, portions large, hut small but clean and well-maintained, caretaker friendly. Wife drove to the parking lot by the hut, but I don't recommend that route as it's narrow and two cars can hardly pass each other. She was lucky both up and down that there was no one. Open from 8:00 to 20:00, closed only on Mondays. Phone for info: 068/132-963. Gora Trma, thanks for the quick reply.

With pleasure, @navrhu. I'm going up quickly now to see if there's still some strudel to get. It's known to be good.

The path has been completely cleared since the middle, when PD Medvode members were allegedly in action, they cleared all broken branches from the path - you could go up barefoot now... cool your feet in the stream in between

We're going to take advantage of the sunny weekend again and check if there's anything new to eat at Mihelčičev dom.
Last week we checked and found that the lower and middle connecting paths between Osolnik and Govejku are already quite passable. No longer need to detour far around fallen trees, but just step over some logs. So you can already nicely do that circular tour.
Happy trails!

Tadej or portal administrator,
How to correct errors in posts?
If you go back one topic from here, to the topic Dom na Govejku, you can read an incorrect post stating that Dom na Govejku is closed on Tuesdays.
In fact, it is closed on Mondays, and open all other days from 8am to 8pm.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the notice, I have corrected it. Such errors are best reported on the forum (like here), to me or Rok via private message or email.

Hi Tadej, Rok, portal administrator,
On the above link is a picture from the camera they now have at Dom na Govejku. Can you help with getting this camera added to the list of webcams on this portal?
Thanks and best wishes!

Dom na Govejku announces that it will be closed from Mon. 07.07. to Fri. 11.07.2014. Welcome back on Sat. 12.07.!
Tadej, Rok,
It might make sense to open a section for similar announcements, e.g. regarding opening hours, holidays etc.

Tadej, Rok, portal administrator,
Do you think it makes sense to publish in a special section the working hours and days when huts and lodges are open and, for example, exceptionally closed, as is the case these days at Govejku.
On the publications of mountaineering associations on the PZS website, there are quite a few errors or rather historical data that no longer hold, especially since there are no "dynamic" publications, but the data stands there like set in concrete, and they often turn out to be incorrect.
Regards!

Tadej, Rok,
Where are you guys wandering? Do we have to send it to ZS to get a response?

| GregorC9. 07. 2014 |
Otherwise good idea, but the question is whether timeliness would be any different here. If the hut manager doesn't pass on this data to those who maintain these pages, the portal administrator can't update the data either. The best option is to open a section where users themselves publish info obtained on site.

| Gora Trma10. 07. 2014 |
yes Grega, that's actually my idea too, because it can be noticed that the tenants, that is the caretakers think that the society, which is the owner of the hut and the landlord, has taken care of the proper posting, which however at least from my experience, and I don't even visit a large number of stops, has proven not to be true. This refers to the general working hours.
Occasionally there are extraordinary circumstances and the caretakers want, as in this case, the information about closure to be posted somewhere else besides just on the hut door, because they know that the hiker who climbs to the hut and only then finds out it's closed, becomes dissatisfied and maybe won't come again...

1) I'm interested in the name of the waterfall on the path, thanks.
2) The house where the very pleasant Mrs. Micka lived looks in very poor and abandoned condition. Since I haven't passed by there for years, I'm curious what happened to Mrs. Micka, if it's not a secret, thanks, Vlajko.

A few months ago I walked past the Dom na Govejku and past Lužar (Micke). The hut was closed, Micka is apparently still alive, but in some home. There were people at the house then, doing some fixing up. I know the little house was transferred to her niece, I think. That's all I know.
The waterfall is very picturesque, but I don't know the name. If anyone knows more, I'd be interested too.
