Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Novo Mesto motorway, take the Grosuplje exit (from the Ljubljana direction, you can also take the Cikava exit), and then continue driving towards the centre of Grosuplje. From Grosuplje, drive towards Veliko Mlačevo, Mala and Velika Račna and Vidmo. From Veliko Mlačevo, turn right (straight ahead to Lobček and Luce) and then continue towards Vidmo. At Vidmo, the road from Rašice joins, and we follow it to the left (south) to the road turnoff to the village of Podpeč. In Podpeč, turn right and go through the village for another 100 m, then turn sharp left after one of the residential houses towards the nearby St Martin's Church, next to which you park in a gravel parking area.
b) From the Ljubljana - Kočevje road at Rašica turn left (from Kočevje turn right) towards Ponikev, Predstruge and Vidmo. When you reach Predstruge, you will reach the Dobrepolje valley, and we will follow it through Videm to the road turnoff to the village of Podpeč. In Podpeč, turn right and drive through the village for another 100 m, then take a sharp left after one of the residential houses towards the nearby St Martin's Church, where you park in a gravel parking area.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we focus on a relatively steep macadam road, which we walk only a few steps, as the markings then lead us left into the forest (along the way we will notice the markings "KV" which indicates Kamen vrh). For a while we climb moderately through the forest on a well-marked path, and then we reach the forest road, which we just cross (left along the road you can reach Grmada and along the road to the cottage on Kamen vrh).
Continue ascending in the direction of the footpath to Kamen vrh, on a gradually steeper path which leads past some abandoned ski jumps of the former "downhill" cycling track. Higher up, we reach the broad logging trail, which we climb only for a short time, as the markings quickly lead us right onto the mountain path. After a few minutes, we join another cart track, which we follow all the way to the Kamen vrh hut.
From the hut, turn left and follow the slightly steeper path to the top, 2 minutes away, where a beautiful view opens up.
You can also reach the summit by turning left at a small crossroads a few 10 metres before the hut onto a steeper path. In this case, the summit is reached by passing the hut.
