Topol - Goljek (on west ridge)

Access to the starting point:
a) From Ljubljana, Kranj or Vodice, drive to Medvode and from there continue to Sora. At the crossroads at the beginning of Sora, just after the small bridge, turn left in the direction of Katarina and the village of Trnovec. The road rises above the valley and leads to the beginning of the village Topole, where you park in the large parking lot next to the primary school.
b) First drive to Škofja Loka, and from there continue to Sora. At the end of Sora, turn right towards Katarina and the village of Trnovec. The road rises above the valley and leads to the beginning of the village Topole, where you park in the large parking lot next to the primary school.
c) Leave the Primorska motorway at the Brezovica exit and continue driving in the direction of Dobrova and Polhov Gradec. Continue along the Gradaščice valley, and follow the main road towards Polhov Gradec to a small crossroads where the road turns right towards the villages of Osredek, Topole (Katarina) and Belo (the main road turns off just before the beginning of the village of Hrastenice). When you arrive in the village Topole, the road to the village of Belo branches off sharply to the left at first, and a little further on, the signs for Medvode direct you slightly to the left, onto a road that gradually begins to descend. Before the road starts to descend steeply towards the Ločnica valley, we reach the primary school, where we park in a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot of the primary school, follow the asphalt road up to the Dobnikar Inn, and from there continue along the asphalt road, which runs along a kind of ridge, and then arrive at the next crossroads, where you continue slightly to the right in the direction of the villages of Belo, Grmada and Tošča.
Walk along the road for about 10 minutes, then leave the road and continue slightly right in the direction of Grmada. Continue along the initially wide cart track, which crosses the slopes without any major changes in elevation. After a few minutes of further walking, a relatively steep footpath branches off to the left from cart track and continues the ascent. After a few minutes the steepness eases and the path leads us to a small pass, where we continue sharp left, where on one of the trees we see the inscription Goljek, which directs us to a less beaten track, marked with black - yellow colour. This continuously marked, but sometimes less traceable, path is then followed all the way to the 809 m high summit, which is reached after a good 10 minute walk from the point where we left the wide path leading to Tošč and Grmada.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, Inscription book
