Access to starting point:
We drive to Dolenjske Toplice, from Novo mesto 15 km or on a regional road Žužemberk-Črnomelj, we turn in Podhosta or Podturn. In Dolenjske Toplice we park on one of the parking lots, best on a large parking lot opposite the pool complex.
Path description:
In Dolenjske Toplice we find the path towards the park and trim trail. Over the bridge we cross the stream Sušica and just after the bridge we go on the path on the right. We continue on the path along the stream, we go past the treatment plant, and after good 10 minutes we come to the next bridge, here we turn left and we step on an asphalt road. On the road, we turn right, we go past the motorhome stop, on the bridge over the river Krka, and just behind the bridge we go on the asphalt road to the right and uphill. We come to the main road which we cross and we continue with an ascent on a narrower asphalt road. After approximately 300 meters we come to a crossroad of three roads, here the first signpost appears. We continue left on the asphalt in the direction of the sign, or we can look for a beaten shortcut in the forest and shorten the path a little. At the next crossroad, we stick to the left, in the direction of the sign. Here the path quite steeply ascends among the vineyard cottages, to the sharp right turn, after which the asphalt quickly ends. From here we have two options.
A) At the turn we continue straight in the direction of sign on a forest path. It is steadily ascending and after the right turn it ascends a little steeper and at the end of the ascent it brings us on a macadam road, and there follows for approximately 2 minutes walk to the top.
B) At the turn we turn right on a macadam path, which horizontally crosses a slope above the highest vineyard cottages. From the path, a beautiful view opens up towards Novo mesto, Gorjanci and Trška gora. After approximately 400 meters we notice the sign, which points us to the left on metal stairs, those bring us on a forest path, and forward to the top. From the stairs there is approx 10 minutes to the top.
