Golnik - Koča na Kriški gori

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - west and follow the road in the route Golnika. When you reach Golnik, turn right at the top of the ramp in the direction of Golnik Hospital. Park in one of the large car parks located slightly below the hospital.

Path description:
From the parking lot, walk to the hospital, passing it on the left, and then come to the mountain direction signs, which direct you to the footpath that climbs along the fence. After a few steps, cross the road, and then the path that climbs above the village leads into the forest, where it begins to climb steeply. After a short climb, the path joins the wide cart track, which continues the easy ascent. After a few minutes, a marked footpath branches off to the right from cart track, which soon leads to another cart track, which is also soon abandoned. We continue our ascent along a rather steep path, which leads us higher up to a lookout point (view of Gorenjska and Jelovica).
After the lookout point, the path is laid and turns quite to the left, where it then continues in a moderate ascent. Higher up, the trail turns slightly to the right, where a few minutes of further walking leads to the village of Gozd. Here, continue past a few houses and then join the path from the Shelter in Gozd.
Continue to the right in the direction of Kriška gora and follow the road leading past two consecutive NOB monuments to its end. From the end of the road, turn slightly left and continue the ascent along the wide and steep cart track, which quickly leads to a place where it splits into two parts. Cart track then passes a waterworks and a weekend house and enters the forest, where it continues on a moderate ascent.
Only a little further on, the signs for Kriško hora direct us right (straight unmarked path to Kriško hora) to the slightly more rugged cart track, which turns into a relatively steep path higher up. Continue along a well-maintained path, along which you will notice a number of benches and the names of the benches next to them. Higher up, the path leads to a pasture fence and turns to the left only slightly higher up, where it then climbs cross-cuttingly. After a few minutes of cross-climbing, we emerge from the forest, where we see Koča na Kriški gori ahead of us, only a few 10 steps of easy walking away.
Golnik - Gozd 1:00, Gozd - Koča na Kriški gori 1:30.
