Flower Hike on Golica

Day Tour, start from Križovec, pick-up in Bled

The hike to Golica is a springtime spectacle, famed for its endless fields of wild white daffodils that blanket the landscape from late until early June, when they are in full bloom. But the allure of Golica extends beyond its floral beauty. From its summit, hikers are treated to breathtaking panoramic views not only of the Alps and the majestic Triglav but also stretching all the way to Austria’s towering Grossglockner. This stunning journey is ideal for those in fairly good physical condition, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and awe-inspiring vistas.

Itinerary

Starting from the Planina pod Golico Village, we first walk up a winding path through a forest, a part of it beside a small creek with refreshing spring water. Once past the tree line, the views of the long ridge and an enchating wooden hut can be amazing on a clear day. The peak itself is another half an hour up a scenic trail across the open ridge. Please note that it's about 2.5 hours to the Golica Peak for adults, which should make a 3.5-hour walk up for young families.

"Seriously a miraculous hike! We did it when the flowers were out and that looks like walking in the best botanical garden, only here everything is 100% natural. Amazing scenery and the flowery smells!"

Brittany & Seb

"We were a bit skeptical about doing the Golica hike in winter, however, it turned out to be beautiful. Due to a heavy snowfall the day prior, the guide decided it was safer to go to a neighbouring peak with the view of Golica and we must say that we loved it. She took us to high mountains at about 2000 m and we could enjoy views of Slovenia, Austria and also the rest of the alps. The guide taught us a lot about how to use the winter hiking gear properly and she also took incredible pictures of us. We both warmly recommend this trip!"
