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 Podpeč. In Podpeč we continue right and through the village we drive good 100 meters and then after one of the residential houses we turn sharply left towards the nearby church of St. Martin, by which we park on a macadam parking lot.
B) From the road Ljubljana - Kočevje at settlement Rašica we turn left (from the direction Kočevje right) in the direction of Ponikve, Predstruge and Videm. 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 the village Podpeč. In Podpeč we continue right and through the village we drive good 100 meters and then after one of the residential houses we turn sharply left towards the nearby church of St. Martin, by which we park on a macadam parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a relatively steep macadam road, on which we walk only few steps, because then blazes lead left in the forest (by the path, we will notice signs "KV" which marks Kamen vrh). For some time we are moderately ascending through the forest on a well-marked path, and then we reach the forest road which we only cross (left on the road we can get on Grmada and on the road to the mountain hut Koča na Kamen vrhu).
We continue the ascent in the direction of the footpath on Kamen vrh, on a gradually steeper path which leads us past some abandoned jumps of the former downhill bike track. Higher, we reach a wide cart track, and there we are ascending only for a short time because blazes quickly lead right on the mountain path. After few minutes, we join the other cart track, on which we continue all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Kamen vrhu.
From the mountain hut, we continue left and on a little steeper path we ascend on 2 minutes distant peak, from where a beautiful view opens up.
To the top we can also come, if at the smaller crossing few 10 meters before the mountain hut, we turn left on a steeper path. In this case, we ascend to the summit past the mountain hut.
