Path description:
From Vrčice take the macadam road in the direction of Kleča, Mountain pasture and Mirna gora. The dirt road descends quickly to St Martin's Church, in front of which we join the tarmac road leading to Mirna gora, which we follow to the right. The road first leads us past a few houses, then into the forest, 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 right-hand path (left Mirna gora after Mountain pasture), which continues along a gently ascending dirt road. Higher up, the road leads to the former village of Škrilj, which in 1941 still had 6 houses and 26 inhabitants. Here, at a left turn, the road from the village of Brezovica pri Črmošnjicah joins us from the right, and the road leads us past a stone byte, after which we soon arrive at the next marked crossroads, where we leave the road.
The signs for Mirna gora direct us slightly left into the forest, where the trail continues without any major changes in elevation. There is a short descent, which ends at a nearby dirt road, which is only crossed. Continue for a short distance on the cart track, and then the signs direct you to the right on a relatively steep footpath which continues through the forest. Higher up, the path curves slightly to the left and leads us out of the forest onto a grassy slope, over which we climb crossways to the Mountain Home on Mirna Gora.
