Križovec - Kahlkogel/Golica (on ridge)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce and follow the road towards Jesenice. When you reach the semaphoreised junction where you join the old road, turn right in the direction of Žirovnice. Follow this road for only a short distance, as at the next slightly larger junction (traffic lights), turn left in the direction of Javorniški Rovto. The road then passes through an underpass (railway) and then turns left (Koroška Bela on the right). Follow the road, which starts to climb steeply higher up, in the direction of Javorníško Rovto. The road leads us past the Pristava home (the home is just above the road) and after the home we come to the next (smaller) crossroads, where we go right. Next, we drive along the macadam road all the way to Križovec, which we recognise by the crossroads of several roads (there are a few small car parks and a cross at the crossroads).

Path description:
From Križovec, continue past the cross on the road in the route Pusti Rovt. The road initially leads past a ramp and then gently climbs through the forest. After about 15 minutes of walking, the road turns left and leads out of the forest to the lower edge of Pusti Rovt. Continue along the road, which is joined on the right by a marked path from Dom Pristava v Javorniškem Rovtu, which leads us after some 10 steps of further walking to the shepherd's hut at Pust Rovt.
From the shepherd's hut, continue along the road, which turns right into the forest at the upper part of Pusti Rovt. Just a little further on, you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue left (slightly right Sedlo Kočna and Barentaler Kotschna) along the road, which continues on a slight incline crossing the slopes to the left. A little further on we are joined on the left by a path with Markljev Rovt, and the road quickly leads us to or just below Sedlo Suha.
From the road, walk a few steps to the boundary ridge, then continue westwards. The unmarked, but orientationally easy path begins to climb, first moderately and then steeply, along the grassy ridge of Male Kahlkogel. The trail bypasses the summit on the left, then lays down and leads us in a short descent to an undistinguished saddle between Mala Golica and Krvavka. The path continues to climb along the ridge again and then retreats to the Slovenian side, where we cross the slopes of Krvavka. There is a short descent and the path leads to the saddle between Krvavka and Golica. From the saddle, continue along the unmarked path for a short distance and then join the marked path from Koča na Golici. Continue straight ahead and follow the increasingly scenic trail to the top of Kahlkogel, which you will reach without much difficulty.
