Golica

Local nameGolica/Kahlkogel
LocationJesenice, Slovenia

Golica is a peak in the Western Karawanks, on the border between Slovenia and Austria, above the Slovene town of Jesenice. It is known mainly for its fields of wild white narcissi, swathes of which cover Golica and surrounding pastures in late April and early May. This marks the beginning of a popular time for mountaineers to visit, extending through the end of summer. The slopes provide great views of the Julian Alps and Austrian Carinthia; the Ljubljana Basin can be seen from the summit on clear days.

Golica also gained considerable fame as the subject of the 1955 Slavko Avsenik polka Na Golici, the Avsenik Ensemble's most popular song. Despite having given the song this title, Avsenik was never in his life on Golica.250 m below the summit, there is a mountain hut at an altitude of 1582 m, with 40 sleeping berths.
