Golica (), the high Slovenian mountain from which the song takes its name, 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. Despite having given the song this title, Slavko Avsenik was never in his life on Golica. Today the band is known as Ansambel bratov Avsenik (Slavko Avsenik Und Seine Original Oberkrainer), even though the band no longers exists.
