Ljubljana (Botanični vrt) - Mazovnik (Golovec)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana ring road, take exit Ig and follow the road towards the Rudnik shopping centre. From the roundabout (the roundabout between Merkur and the Supernova centre), continue along Jurčkova Road to the second traffic light. At the second traffic light, turn right (left Ig, straight ahead to the centre and Trnovo) and then drive for about 500 m until you reach a place where you will see a school on the left and the Ljubljana Botanical Garden on the right. There are no suitable parking spaces at the starting point.
Access from the centre of Ljubljana is also possible.

Path description:
From the Botanical Garden, continue along the gently ascending road or pavement, which takes you through an underpass and a bridge over the railway to the crossroads of Ižanska cesta and Hradecka cesta. Continue left along Hradecka Road and follow it for about 50 m, then at a small junction turn right in the direction of "Pot na Golovec" and continue your ascent along the cobbled and quite steep road. Higher up, the road becomes macadam and levels out a bit. Follow the road to the Observatory on Golovec, or a sharp left turn.
At the bend, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the observatory, you will notice an information board for the Golovec forest trail, which directs you to the wide and initially folded cart track. After a few minutes' walk, cart track climbs moderately for a short time and then gradually begins to descend. After a few minutes of descending, you will reach a forest road, just cross it, and then join the Route of Remembrance and Comradeship. Follow the trail to the left, and after a few short ascents it will lead you to Črni hrib (the highest point of the trail).
From Črni hrib, descend slightly at first, and then, when the path levels out, arrive at an unmarked crossroads. Here you leave the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship and continue along the right-hand track, where you will notice one of the few trail markers on the route. Only a few 10 m further on, we reach the next unmarked crossroads. This time, continue left and after a short climb, reach the highest peak of Golovec.
