Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Ljubljana - Novo mesto motorway at exit Trebnje - west, then continue in the direction of Žužemberk and Dobrniča. When you arrive in Dobrnič, leave the main road by going straight ahead at the crossroads by the church and then turn left at the Pr Lubčku Inn onto a slightly narrower asphalt road. Continue through Lokve pri Dobrniču to Šahovec, where you turn left at a crossroads in the middle of the village (there is a mirror at the crossroads). From the crossroads, continue along the narrower asphalt road for a few 100 metres to a small pond by which you can park in a suitable place.
b) First drive to Žužemberk, then continue to Trebnje and Dobrnič. When you arrive in Dobrnič, turn right at the crossroads by the church and then left immediately before the Pr Lubčku Inn onto a slightly narrower asphalt road. Continue through Lokve pri Dobrniču to Šahovec, where you turn left at a crossroads in the middle of the village (there is a mirror at the crossroads). From the crossroads, continue along the narrower asphalt road for a few 100 metres to a small pond by which you can park in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the pond, go left and start along the edge of the woods on cart track, which turns into the woods. The Baraga trail is quite easy to follow at first, as it follows cart track or forest logging trail. A little higher up, leave cart track as the Baraga trail signs direct you to a short part of the trail where the path is more difficult to follow and overgrown, but if you follow the signs carefully you will soon reach another cart track, which continues the moderate ascent. Further on, cart track is further laid and leads us out of the forest to the edge of the village of Vrhtrebnje.
The village is reached near the Church of St James, in front of which you continue to the right towards the 15th meridian and the hunting lodge, which is only a minute's walk away.
