Path description:
From Vrčice, take the dirt road towards Kleča, Mountain pasture and Mirna gora. The dirt road descends quickly to St Martin's Church, before which we join the tarmac road leading to Mirna gora, which we follow to the right. The road first leads past a few houses and then into the woods, where it starts to climb steeply. Just after the asphalt ends, we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue along the road to the right (left access to Mirna gora by car), and are also directed to it by mountain direction signs. Continue on the dirt road for a while, then leave the marked trail for a while and return to it at the memorial plaque or stone. The ascent continues along the road, which gradually lays down and leads us out of the forest to a less vegetated area called Kleč.
Here the path leads us past the nearby hunting lodge Kleč and the ruins of the former church, to the next crossroads.
At the crossroads, at which there are a number of direction signs, take the left path (right Mirna gora over Škrilj), which continues along a gently ascending dirt road. The road then completely flattens out and within a few minutes' walk leads to the Church of St. Ilija.
From the church, continue along the road for a short distance before reaching a number of signs and markers. Continue in the route Mirna gora and follow the forest nature trail, which leads you past a few houses. Above the houses, the trail continues past an abandoned water trough and then gradually passes into the forest, through which it climbs moderately to occasionally steeply. The well-marked trail, along which there are numerous educational boards, turns slightly to the right at a higher altitude and leads us to the Mountain Home on Mirna Gora.
