Planina pod Golico - Kahlkogel/Golica (winter way)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce (also Hrušica) and follow the road in the direction of Jesenice, where the signs for Planina pod Golico direct us to the ascending road (the exit is marked and is located at the health centre in Jesenice). The relatively steep road soon leads us to the above-mentioned village, where in May, in the surrounding meadows, you can admire the bloming of daffodils. With Mountain pasture under Kahlkogel, drive on to the next crossroads, where you will see a number of mountain signposts. Here, continue right and drive another 50m to the parking lot under the Sava Caves.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, you will see mountain signs directing you left up the asphalted road. After a short climb, the path leads us to the Betel agritourism farm and beyond to a crossroads where we continue right in the direction of Golice. After a few more minutes of walking along the road, you will reach the hut at Fenec. Pay attention here, as just a few steps further on, a wide marked path branches off to the right, leading to Kahlkogel.
The way forward is to climb over a short meadow behind which we come to the forest through which it continues. After about half an hour's walk, you will come out on a dirt road, which you follow to the right, but only as far as the bottom station of the cargo cableway.
At the bottom station of the cable car, you will see a signpost with the words 'winter trail', which directs you slightly left into the wods (slightly right is the normal summer trail). The trail continues on, climbing cross-country, before entering a lane of sparse wodland, where it crosses a short, gently sloping hillside. The path then passes into a ravine which is followed only briefly, as the markings soon direct us left onto a steep vegetated slope. After a few minutes of ascent the steepness eases and the path leads us to a side ridge where it turns right. We continue to climb along the ridge, which later drops even slightly and then leads us to a steep jump. Up to the middle of this jump, climb straight up the slope, and then you have two options for continuing; you can either climb slightly to the right on the exposed shelf (risk of slipping) or continue straight on the steep, partly rocky slope (both routes are prone to avalanche and slipping).
Only slightly higher up, the paths merge again and then lead us up the increasingly scenic slope to the hut on Kahlkogel.
From the hut onwards, the winter route also usually runs slightly differently from the summer route. From the hut, we climb northwards up the increasingly steep slope (the direct ascent to Kahlkogel is avoided due to the risk of avalanches). When we have almost reached the main ridge, we turn slightly to the left and climb in a slight cross-climb to the saddle between Krvavka on the right and Kahlkogel on the left. Krvavka on the right and Kahlkogel on the left. Kahlkogel on the left. It is then about a 15-minute walk along a scenic and often icy ridge to the top of the Golica lookout. Starting point - hut at Kahlkogel 1:30, hut at Kahlkogel - Kahlkogel 40 minutes.
