Golica is a border mountain in Karavanke. It is situated in the height 1835 above sea level. The most proper time to visit it is from May to October, but the most beautiful is at the end of the May and in June, when it is covered with narcissuses. At that time the meadows look like as they are white like snow. The people's tale says that narcissuses got their name because of the bees. The mountain is accessible from Jesenice and from there over winding road to Planina pod Golico. In the middle of the village stands large building Dom pod Golica, where you can live a car. If you want to shorten the way you can drive higher and live the car in the village Betel, by restaurant Pri Fenc, but the parking place is smaller and full at the end of the week. In the village Betel is also a signpost, which directs us over shorter way under telpher line or longer way, but gently sloping across mountain pasture Markelj rovt. The shorter way leads us past restaurant Pri Fenc, over path across meadow. Then expect us the pine wood and later macadam road, above which is lower station of the telpher line. In the left side is more demanding way and in the right side we continue less demanding way. Before the end of the path are extensive meadows under Krvavka, which is the top above mountain hut. Koča na Golici, Hut at the mountain Golica is situated at the height 1582 above sea level. It stands on the edge of the precipice. At the hut you can take time and try their good food. It is only half an hour of sheer way to the top of the Golica mountain. There are wonderful views to Austria, Julian Alps, Triglav and Stol. The trip will take us about two hours in one way. If you have time, you can also look at the former iron mine, Savska jama.
