Access to starting point:
A) Over the border crossing Brežice / Bregana we drive into Croatia, we leave the highway at exit Samobor. When we get to the mentioned settlement we go towards the south in the direction of Zagreb. By the gas station at the south exit from the town we go right and then we drive in the direction of village Mirnovec and Kladje. When the road brings us to a saddle with hairpin turns, we go right into the village Konščica and then we drive towards the west in the direction of village Terihaji. Further, we will by the road notice signs for mountain hut Dom pod Okićem, which point us to the left.
B) From Prekmurje and surroundings of Maribor we at first drive to the border crossing Gruškovje / Macelj and we continue driving on the highway to the junction Jankomir, where we turn left in the direction of Ljubljana and Samobor. We leave the highway at exit for Samobor, and then we continue driving by the upper description.
Because the parking lot at the mountain hut is too small for all visitors and also orientationally it is quite hard to get there, I recommend, that to the hut we get to on a footpath from Novo Selo Okićko.
Path description:
From the mountain hut Dom pod Okićem we go to the west and on a meadow we descend to a stream Okićnice, where we will notice entrance into the forest. Further, we cross the stream and the path becomes pretty steep but soon gradually flattens. Higher, the path flattens even more, and we step out of the forest into the village Poljanica Okićka.
Next follows a less interesting part of the path on the asphalt road which leads us through the village. When higher the road returns into the forest, we will by the path notice signs for village Kotari. From here about a minute we walk on asphalt, and then we continue left on a gentle cart track (from the right joins the path from the village Rude). When we leave the cart track and we go left on a narrower footpath, the path will lead us through a lane of wild garlic. From here on, the path will become increasingly steep and through few hairpin turns it will bring us on an indistinct ridge of Plešivica. When we get to a lane of the holly, the steepness ends, and a little further we join the path from the village Novo selo Okićko.
Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent to the secondary peak, from which follows a short descent, and then a light ascent to the summit of Čerga, where there is a lookout tower and a geodetic point.
