Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana, we drive towards Kočevje. Soon after the Ribnica, near Dolenja vas, we will notice signs for village Grčarice, Gotenica and Kočevska Reka, which from the main road point us to the right. We follow the mentioned road through the village Grčarice and Gotenica to the road sign 15km. Only few 10 meters ahead we will notice a macadam road which from the main branches off to the right. By the mentioned road, where we immediately notice blazes we park. Where we will park depends on how long we want to walk.
Path description:
Macadam road at first slightly descends, and then it starts ascending through ample forests. Higher marked path few times leaves the road (shortcut), but it soon joins it. After a long walk on the road which has quite a few crossroads (follow the blazes), we eventually leave it and we continue the ascent on a relatively overgrown mountain path which starts ascending steeper. The marked path then turns a little more to the right and after few minutes of additional walking brings us below the peak of Goteniški Snežnik.
Here still overgrown path steeply ascends over short jump, after that steepness decreases. This path, which all the time runs through the forest we follow to the summit of Goteniški Snežnik, from which a view towards the northeast opens up.
