Planina pod Golico Hotels Between Daffodil Meadows and Mining History

In May, fragrant alpine daffodils cover the slopes around Golica with a white carpet of flowers. The circular trail from Planina pod Golico to the summit of Golica is especially beautiful at this time. Planina pod Golico is also a starting point for visiting the daffodil meadows, whose preservation is supported by traditional land-management practices and regular late mowing in June. The meadows lie between Plavški Rovt, Prihodi, Planina pod Golico, and Javorniški Rovt.

Nature

The daffodil landscape therefore shapes not only the slopes around the summit but also the surrounding area of the village. Its upkeep follows a fixed seasonal rhythm: the areas are regularly mowed late in June, while traditional forms of land management are used at the same time. Visitors to the daffodil meadows will find Planina pod Golico as the explicitly designated starting point for this excursion.

History

Historical traces can be explored on the “Old Mining Route” as part of a hike. The route leads from Stara Sava via Murova, Pejce, Prihodi, and Planina pod Golico to Savske jame. It is moderately difficult, has an elevation difference of 600 metres, and takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. The route thus connects several named sites of the historic mining landscape in one continuous trail.

Savske jame is home to the iron ore deposit, which is considered one of the oldest in Slovenia. The entrance to the Korlnov rov has also been preserved in the mining area. Along the area around Savske jame, information panels point to additional mines and mining facilities. You will therefore find both a preserved element of the mining industry and information about further facilities within the same area.

During the daffodil bloom, TIC Planina pod Golico opens in the premises of the local community. There, you can obtain information about the village’s sights as well as hiking maps. Another cultural attraction is the church: it has been restored, is well preserved, and continues to serve its religious purpose.

Activities

A chairlift runs from Planina pod Golico to Španov vrh. It has been operating since 1964, with only minor interruptions. Španov vrh serves as a starting point for many hikes throughout the year and is used by touring and alpine skiers in winter.

When there is sufficient snow, the Sava Caves natural toboggan run is 700 metres long. It is located in Planina pod Golico in the Sava Caves area and is designated for family sledding. Night sledding is also possible for closed groups of up to 40 people by prior arrangement.
