A4 Koča na Golici » Prešernova koča na Stolu
  |   5h25   |   13.6 km   |   759 m   |   161 m

This stage has some truly spectacular views. Gorenjska lies on one side and Kärnten in Austria on the other. The route follows the southern slopes, which are not very steep, but the ridge climbs and falls several times. A number of the cliffs on the northern side can be rather frightening. The last stretch on the Belščica ridge is especially spectacular.
