Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto we go to the exit Grosuplje (from Ljubljana direction possible also to the exit Cikava), and then we continue driving towards the center of Grosuplje. From Grosuplje we continue driving in the direction of Veliko Mlačevo, Mala and Velika Račna and Videm. From Veliko Mlačevo we continue right (straight Lobček and Luče), and then we continue driving towards Videm. In Videm we join the road from Rašica, and we follow it left (towards the south) and we drive there to the turn-off of the road towards the village Podgora, which is situated by the edge of Dobro Polje. To the mentioned village we come after few 100 meters of additional driving, and our path starts near the church. We park at the beginning of the village on an appropriate place by the road, the way we don't hinder the locals.

When we get to Predstruge we reach valley Dobrepoljska dolina, and we are driving there through Videm to the turn-off of the road towards Podgora.

We park at the beginning of the village on an appropriate place by the road, the way we don't hinder the locals.
Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we at first walk to the church, and from there we continue on at first a wide cart track which passes into the forest. Few minutes we are ascending on a cart track, and then the arrow on a tree points left on an old and steeper cart track. During the ascent, we carefully follow the blazes, and the path higher returns on a wider cart track. A little further, we cross a macadam road, and only a few meters higher we reach another road which we also only cross (left - Grmada).
We continue the ascent through the forest on a well-marked path, which higher flattens and turns to the right. Next follows a short descent, and then the path turns slightly left and moderately ascends to the spot, where from the left also the mountain path from Grmada joins. From the crossing, we short time continue on the mountain path, and then we reach the forest road which we follow to the right and on which we ascend to the nearby mountain hut Koča na Kamen vrhu.
From the mountain hut, we continue right and on a little steeper path we ascend on 2 minutes distant peak, from where a beautiful view opens up.
