After Črmošnjice, the road is for a short time still ascending, and then starts steeply descending. When we get to the settlement Vrčice, signs for Mirna gora point us to the right on at first still an asphalt road, on which we start gradually ascending.

From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Mirna gora and we go on forest teaching trail, which leads us past few houses. Above the houses, the path leads also past an abandoned trough with water, and then it gradually passes into the forest, through which it is moderately to occasionally steeply ascending. A well-marked path, by which there are numerous information boards, higher turns slightly to the right and it brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Mirni gori.
