Podpeč - Kamen vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Novo Mesto motorway, take the Grosuplje exit (from the Ljubljana direction, the Cikava exit is also possible), then continue driving towards the centre of Grosuplje. From Grosuplje, continue driving in the direction of Veliko Mlačevo, Mala and Velika Račna, and Videm. From Veliko Mlačevo, continue right (straight to Lobček and Luče), then continue driving towards Videm. In Videm, join the road from Rašica, follow it left (towards the south), and drive along it to the turn-off to the village of Podpeč. In Podpeč, continue right and drive through the village for a good 100 m, then behind one of the residential houses turn sharply left towards the nearby church of St. Martin, by which we park on a macadam parking lot.
B) From the Ljubljana - Kočevje road at the settlement Rašica, turn left (from the Kočevje direction, right) in the direction of Ponikve, Predstrug and Videm. When we arrive in Predstrug, we reach the Dobrepoljska valley, and drive along it through Videm to the turn-off to the village of Podpeč. In Podpeč, continue right and drive through the village for a good 100 m, then behind one of the residential houses turn sharply left towards the nearby church of St. Martin, by which we park on a macadam parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a relatively steep macadam road, on which we walk only a few steps, because then the blazes lead us left into the forest (along the path, we will notice signs "KV" which indicate Kamen vrh). For some time we moderately ascend through the forest on a well-marked path, then we reach a forest road, which we only cross (left along the road we can reach Grmada and then by road to the hut Koča na Kamen vrhu).
We continue the ascent in the direction of the footpath to 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, on which we ascend only briefly, because the blazes quickly lead us right onto the mountain path. After a few minutes, we join another cart track, on which we continue all the way to the hut Koča na Kamen vrhu.
From the hut, we continue left and ascend on a somewhat steeper path to the summit, which is 2 minutes away, from where a beautiful view opens up.
We can also reach the summit if, at the smaller junction a few tens of metres before the mountain hut, we turn left onto the steeper path. In this case, we ascend to the summit past the hut.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Grmada on Mala gora, Koča pri Sveti Ani on Mala gora, Stene svete Ane

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
