Križovec - Kahlkogel/Golica (via mountain hut)

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 on 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 Sedlo Suha.
From the saddle, continue along the road for a short distance, and then the signs for Koča na Golici direct you slightly right onto a footpath which continues to climb cross-country to the west. The path soon becomes completely flat, crosses some scenic slopes, and then joins the path from Mountain pasture under Golica in a gentle descent.
Continue in the direction of Kahlkogel and continue the ascent along a fairly wide path, which is followed all the way to the Hut on Kahlkogel, which is reached after a good 10 minutes of further walking.
From the hut, continue along the marked trail in the direction of Kahlkogel. The way forward first crosses the slopes of Krvavka, then turns to the left, where it crosses a small valley between the summit and Golica. Once on the western side of the valley, the path begins to climb steeply, and then, just 10 metres before reaching the ridge, the "ridge" path from Sedlo Suha joins us from the right. Continue to the left and follow the increasingly scenic path to the top of Kahlkogel, which is reached without much difficulty.
