Access to the starting point:
a) Via Border crossing Brežice / Bregana, drive into Croatia and leave the motorway at the Samobor exit. When you arrive in the above-mentioned place, go south towards Zagreb. At the petrol station at the southern exit of the city, turn right and continue towards the villages of Mirnovec and Kladje. When the road leads to a serpentine pass, turn right into the village of Konščica and then drive west towards the village of Terihaji. Further along the road you will see signs for Dom pod Okićem, which will direct you to the left (to Starogradsko ulica).
b) From Prekmurje and the surroundings of Maribor, first drive to Border crossing Gruškovje / Macelj and continue along the motorway to the Jankomir junction, where you turn left in the direction of Ljubljana and Samobor. Leave the motorway at the exit for Samobor, then continue driving as described above.
Since the parking lot at the cottage is too small for all visitors and it is also quite difficult to reach the cottage from the orientation point of view, I recommend to reach the cottage by the footpath from Novi Selo Okićko.

Path description:
At the crossroads to the east of the Maks Plotnik home, go slightly left (straight ahead Dragojlina and Žoharjeva cesta, right down Podgrađe) along the fence. The path enters the forest. After the right turn we will be in a strip of compacted and dark forest, but only until the next left turn. Here the ground will be a little rockier. You will reach the entrance to the old Okić Castle, which is unfortunately in ruins.
After the entrance we will have to be a little more careful, because there is a part through the rocks and then a short exposed crossing. Here the Dragojlina path joins us from the right. We now have only two minutes to the top of Okić. This is located in the ruins of an old castle, which is increasingly overgrown by forest.
As the Žoharjeva and Dragojlina climbing routes are quite difficult and it is not recommended to descend them, this option is suitable for descending.
