Planina - Mirna gora

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana–Brežice highway, we take the Ivančna Gorica exit, then continue driving in the direction of Črnomelj. After Črmošnjice, the road still ascends for a short time, then starts to descend more steeply. When we arrive in the settlement Vrčice, signs for Mirna gora direct us right onto an initially still asphalted road, along which we begin to ascend gradually. Soon after the asphalt ends, the road splits into two parts. We continue on the left road (the right one is intended for those intending to ascend to Mirna gora on foot), along which we arrive after some time at the old Kočevarsko village Planina / Stockendorf (737 m). Here we continue right and then after some 10 m park at the parking lot by the numerous signposts and information boards.
B) From the Brežice–Ljubljana highway, we take the Novo mesto exit, then continue driving in the direction of Dolenjske Toplice and Podturn near Dolenjske Toplice. In Podturn we join the main road Ivančna Gorica–Črnomelj, which we follow left in the direction of Črnomelj. After Črmošnjice, the road still ascends for a short time, then starts to descend more steeply. When we arrive in the settlement Vrčice, signs for Mirna gora direct us right onto an initially still asphalted road, along which we begin to ascend gradually. Soon after the asphalt ends, the road splits into two parts.

C) From Bela krajina we first drive to Semič, then continue driving towards Črmošnjice and Soteska. Still before the road starts descending, we arrive in Vrčice, where signs for Mirna gora direct us left onto an initially still asphalted road, along which we begin to ascend gradually.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Mirna gora and start along the forest educational trail, which leads us past a few houses. Above the houses, the path also leads past an abandoned trough with water, then gradually enters the forest, through which we ascend moderately to occasionally steeply. The well-marked path, alongside which there are numerous educational boards, higher up turns slightly to the right and 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 into the forest, through which we then ascend to the nearby transmitters. At the transmitters, the path turns slightly to the left, descends slightly for a short time, then ascends to one of the highest peaks of Bela krajina, which we reach after two minutes of further walking.
