Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Brežice, we go to the exit Ivančna Gorica, and then we continue driving in the direction of Črnomelj. 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. Soon after the asphalt ends, the road splits into two parts. We continue on the left road (the right is intended for those who are intending to ascend on Mirna gora on foot), on which we eventually get to an old Kočevje village Planina / Stockendorf (737 meters). Here we continue right and then after few 10 meters we park on a parking lot by the numerous signposts and information boards.
B) From highway Brežice - Ljubljana, we go to the exit Novo mesto, and then we continue driving in the direction Dolenjske Toplice and Podturn pri Dolenjskih Toplicah. In Podturnu we join the main road Ivančna Gorica - Črnomelj, and we follow it left in the direction of Črnomelj. 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. Soon after the asphalt ends, the road splits into two parts. We continue on the left road (the right is intended for those who are intending to ascend on Mirna gora on foot), on which we eventually get to an old Kočevje village Planina / Stockendorf (737 meters).

Soon after the asphalt ends, the road splits into two parts. We continue on the left road (the right is intended for those who are intending to ascend on Mirna gora on foot), on which we eventually get to an old Kočevje village Planina / Stockendorf (737 meters).

Path description:
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.
From Dom na Mirni gori we continue right in the direction of the eponymous peak, and the path leads past the lookout tower in the forest, through which we then ascend to the nearby transmitters. At the transmitters, the path turns a little to the left, for some time it slightly descends, and then it ascends on one of the highest peaks of Bela krajina, which we reach after two minutes of additional walking.
