Access to the starting point:
Exit the Styria motorway at the exit for Slovenske Konjice, then follow the signs for Zreče. When you arrive in Zreče, park in the parking lot at Terme Zreče.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which continues northwards, and soon you will reach a marked crossroads, where the marked path to Gorenje and Rogla branches off to the right, and we continue along the road or pavement. The road gradually turns north-westwards in a slight ascent, and after about 15 minutes we turn left at the chapel onto a side road, where after a few steps we see the first signs for Golek.
At the markers go right, passing a few houses, and at the next chapel the path splits.
Continue straight on towards the Ančka tourist farm and the top of Golek (Golek over Bork on the right).
A little further on, the village ends and the path ahead leads us along the pasture. Go straight ahead at the first crossroads and right at the second crossroads, before the quarry, towards the top of Golek on the macadam path (straight ahead TK Ančka). The dirt road leads quickly into the forest, where the path forks again.
Continue to the right in the direction of the steep path, which is marked with red dots (the normal marked path to Golek continues straight ahead). Continue for a few steps along cart track, and then the red dots direct us slightly left on a footpath which climbs steeply through the forest and leads to the ridge. For some time we climb steeply along and along the ridge, but higher up the path flattens out and leads us to cart track, where we intersect the marked trail Zreče - Golek (the trail over Bork).
Continue straight on and start climbing steeply again. A few minutes higher, leave the forest and return to the marked path, which is reached near the summit. Go right here and in a few 10 steps you will reach the signing box at the top.
