Itinerary description
Golica (1835 m) (German: Kahlkogel) 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.[2] The slopes provide great views of the Julian Alps and Austrian Carinthia; the Ljubljana Basin can be seen from the summit on clear days.

Pristava
https://www.dom-pristava.si/en/ Dom Pristava is located at the base of Karavanke, in a pleasant ambient of the natural environment. We are only 5km away from Jesenice, but enough not to feel the city bustle. The house stands at an altitude of 975m and is the starting point for various hiking trails to the surrounding hills and mountains. Who is not walking, he can spend a pleasant day in the vicinity of Pristava’s house, can see the Zois park, maybe a little forgotten but wonderful … Here is well taken care of both adults and children, there are many children’s playgrounds, especially during the summer, you will enjoy the cool of the shade of ancient trees, planted 250 years ago by the famous botanist of the time Karel Zois.

Hi,
what do you mean for "high clearance"?
Can a "normal serious" 4x4 (jeep/toyo/lr) do it?
Is required to have a Pass?
Please put also the link of the video since it seems I cannot run it from the images.
Thanks
You can ride with every 4x4 vehicle in dry conditions in summer.
The road is fixed now. No more problematic section.

We just followed this route. Mostly gravel, few real 4x4 sections. Beautiful scenery. But the dead end section of the trail that leads to the top is private property! At least the last part. (past the building). It is not marked anywhere that it is private. There is a road straight ahead with a barrier and then you have to go left on a stony old road that leads to the top. That road doesn't have any signs. But only a real 4x4 can drive up, so maybe that is why there is no sign...
We met the owner of the land and he was not very pleased...
He treatened to call the police but in the end he did not... Just a warning :)
The ramp is not locked. It's ramp for cows. Just open it and close it behind you.
Drive ONLY ON road !!!
Yes there was an electric wire for cows we could open. We did close it after us. And a little further we met the owner who said you could not drive there...
Just checked the track again, and apparently we did something wrong... I downloaded the trail as a gpx and then uploaded the track to my gps but the gps took another route the last part. So the trail is ok! I'm sorry :-).
I wish I could upload a picture of which road we took and where it went wrong, but I don't think I can...
After the second ramp is one way to the left, then one right. Both lead to private property.
The right road goes up

The left road goes down.
Both lead over private land.Driving is not allowed!
This upper part from the video - are you sure this can be done with any 4x4? Looks really narrow :)
What about pathfinder, stock - no mods, with BFG KO2 tires?
The road is fixed 2017. No more problem.
I can not guarantee what the situation is now, because I have not been there for a long time.
I will announce an easier alternative route.

If you have trouble or need more information, stop at Erlah's pizzeria and ask for Alien.
Erlah is by the road, behind to the bus station.

As mentioned by others first part over Karavanke tunnel is easy milky way, can be done with a normal car. There is not much scenery, just going through woods. Several hiking options available.
Second part from Planina Golica does require 4x4 LO, very step hill with stones, a bit narrow for a big jeep but just go slow. When entering woods, below the ski lift, it can be muddy if wet.
We didnt do the upper part towards Golica mountain, at crossroads where the hiking trails can be entered, and we returned via different route then others - left - original easy return route, also if you cant make the the hill climb
Here is our full route 1h 10min driving:

Drove it today with a Ford F150 Raptor, had to skip a small section at Planina Pod Golico because the car is to wide but otherwise a great Trail the segment up to the ski lift was a bit sketchy because of the width of the Raptor but 4x4 LO just crawls right up rest is easy
