Discover Golik

Golik can be explored for trip planning through several distinct points of reference: its location on a road between Brod Moravice and Brod na Kupi, a forest habitat in the Brod na Kupi-Golik area, and a wayside cross with local history. There is also a snapshot of settlement and weekend life from a particular period. When comparing accommodation, it helps to distinguish these features of the area from the specific type of accommodation.

Location and road conditions

Golik is located on the road between Brod Moravice and Brod na Kupi. For two sections of Route F19-16 in Golik, the 2019 road register of the City of Delnice lists a macadam surface. Surface conditions may change. If you plan to use these sections to reach your destination, check their current condition before travelling.

Forest habitat and conservation aims

A Croatian official site inventory dated 24 October 2008 lists acid-loving spruce forests of the montane and alpine zones as a target habitat for the HR2000513 Brod na Kupi-Golik area. A target habitat is a habitat type whose conservation is taken into account when designating an area. The Brod na Kupi-Golik ecological network area is also to be managed in a way that preserves biological and landscape diversity as well as natural values. Together, the forest type and conservation aim give the area’s natural character a specific focus: alongside the location of the settlement, the emphasis is on a habitat that is to be taken into account in the area’s management.

Wayside cross and local history

The Golik wayside cross was moved from the settlement’s former centre. The wooden cross is 280 centimetres tall and has a metal roof. Its relocation links it to the former centre of the settlement; its material and dimensions describe the cross as a tangible object of local history. Alongside the broader natural theme, this provides a specific cultural detail through which to understand the historical development of the settlement’s layout.

A historical snapshot of weekend life

An ethnographic description from 2004/05 depicts Golik as having just over twenty houses. Among them were four empty and six occupied houses, as well as additional weekend houses. The same description reports that Golik’s road filled with people out walking on weekends, making the settlement livelier at those times. Together, these details show the settlement as it was at the time from two perspectives: they describe both the distribution of houses and the reported weekend rhythm. The timeframe is part of this picture, since the description dates from 2004/05.

Distinguishing accommodation types

Holiday accommodation associated with Golik is located at the addresses Golik 17, Golik 2A and Golik 4; capacities are listed as 4+0, 4+1 and 4+2 guests.

Holiday accommodation listings may change; check availability before travelling.
