Access to starting point:
A) We leave the Ljubljana–Novo mesto highway at the Trebnje–west exit, then continue driving in the direction of Žužemberk and Dobrnič. When we arrive in Dobrnič, still before the church, we turn left onto the parking lot by the cemetery.
B) First, we drive to Žužemberk, then continue driving towards Trebnje and Dobrnič. When we arrive in Dobrnič, at the junction by the church we continue left and then immediately right towards the nearby cemetery, where we park on a well-maintained parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road, where we continue left to the inn Pr Lubčku, and there we notice signs for Baragova pot, which point us onto a somewhat narrower road which continues among houses. Dobrnič soon ends, and at a few smaller crossroads we continue slightly right all the way to the village Lokve pri Dobrniču.
The path ahead, which still continues on the road, leads us among fields, then through a strip of forest, where it steeply ascends temporarily and higher among pastures. Higher, the path leads past one cross, after which we arrive in the village Šahovec. At the crossroad in the middle of the village (by the crossroad there is a traffic mirror) we continue left on an even narrower road, which leads us past a few more houses. The village quickly ends, and on the road which continues along the field we arrive at a smaller pond, where we leave the road and continue left on a footpath which further is not marked but is relatively often marked with signs of Baragova pot.
From the pond, we go left and continue along the edge of the forest on a cart track which passes into the forest. Baragova pot is at first quite easy to follow, since it runs on a cart track or forest track. A little higher we leave the cart track, because signs for Baragova pot direct us onto a short section of the path where the trail is harder to follow and overgrown, but if we carefully follow the signs we will soon reach another cart track, on which we continue the moderate ascent. Further on, the cart track levels out even more and brings us out of the forest to the edge of the village Vrhtrebnje.
We reach the village near the church of St. James, before which we continue right towards the landmark of the 15th meridian and the hunting lodge, to which we have only a minute's walk.
