Golica, Mountain peak in Karavanke range, Slovenia and Austria

The Golica summit reaches an elevation of 1,835 meters and forms a natural border between Slovenia and Austria in the Western Karavanke mountain range.

Before World War II, a mountain hut stood near the peak, but it was deliberately destroyed to prevent its use as a German military position.

The mountain slopes transform into fields of wild narcissi during spring, making it a traditional destination for nature enthusiasts from both Slovenia and Austria.

The mountain hut Koča na Golici, situated at 1,582 meters, provides accommodation with 41 beds and serves meals to visitors from April through September.

The narcissi flowers covering the mountain slopes are naturally toxic to grazing animals, which has influenced local farming practices throughout generations.
