Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kočevje, and then we look for street Podgorska ulica (which from the main road branches off to the right - direction of driving towards Delnice). At the end of the mentioned street we will notice signposts and by them a nicely settled parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to a well-marked crossing, and then we continue right in the direction of the path Kalanova pot (left path Grajska pot). The marked path, which at first runs on the road, soon leaves it and continues left through the forest. Further, we are ascending on the path on which the steepness is increasing, and it few times crosses a forest road. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path joins the forest road on which we continue the ascent. The road soon starts descending and in few steps, it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left on a footpath in the direction of Mestni vrh (straight mountain hut Koča pri Jelenovem studencu 3 minutes, right Ledenik).
Still well-marked path again steeply ascends and only a little below the summit it brings us to the vantage point, from which a view opens up towards Kočevje.
We continue right on a less steep path, which in few steps it brings us to the summit.
