Golica

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.

[4] The slopes of Golica are today used as pastures for sheep, but until 1957 locals from settlements at its foot would clear the entire slope of grass for hay (a possible etymology of the name, which derives from the adjective "gol-," or "bare.").
