Access to the starting point:
Leave the Primorska motorway at the Brezovica exit and continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Continue along the Gradaščice valley, and follow the main road towards Polhov Gradec to a small crossroads where the road to Osredek, Topole (Katarina) and Belo branches off to the right (the branch from the main road is located just before the beginning of the village of Hrastenice). Park in a suitable place at the crossroads. Continue along the main road to Polhov Gradec. Continue along the main road to Polhov Gradec.
Path description:
From the crossroads by the transformer, continue a few steps along the main road towards Polhovo Gradec, then turn right in the route Grmada onto the macadam road, which continues past the houses. The dirt road, which leads past a few houses, quickly leads to a small pass where you continue straight down (sharp right cart track, which leads along the eastern slopes of the peak Praprotno (527 m) and forks several times further on). The road then leads you past another house, and after it you continue right on the ascending cart track. The ascent continues crosswise through the forest, and we pass a small spring to reach a poorly marked crossroads, where we continue right. We continue to climb moderately through the forest, and along the way we see a few sparse markings, one of which has a sign for the altitude. Higher up, you will reach a ridge along which you will then climb towards the village of Belo.
When we reach the village, beautiful views open up to us, and the path continues to lead us along a mostly macadam road, which we follow at a few crossroads in the direction of the open-door farm Pr Lenart, which we quickly reach.
From the farm we continue in the direction of Grmada, following the grassy cart track, which quickly leads to a macadam road, which we follow as we climb gently, enjoying beautiful views of Grmada and the surrounding hills. At the hunting observatory, the poorer road turns right and ends at a nearby house. Go around the house on the left and continue through the dense forest, first walking on the left side of the slope, and then a little further on to the right side. The path continues through a few strips of pine forest, from where we get some views, and then the path returns to the forest and climbs cross-country on a slightly slippery path. A little further on, you reach the Krvavi Vil preval, where there is a crossroads of a few paths.
From the crossroads continue slightly right (slightly left Grmada, right down Kobilja dolina) and in a few minutes climb up to the marked path Katarina - Grmada. When you reach the trail, follow it to the right, and walk towards Katarina until you reach the point where the wider trail begins to descend. At this point, we leave the path towards Katarina and continue straight towards Goljek Peak. The way forward begins to climb steeper, and we walk along it to the summit a few minutes away, from which we get a little view.
