Dule - Kamen vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana, we drive towards Kočevje or vice versa. Only about a kilometer after (from the direction of Kočevje before) Velike Lašče we will get to a crossroad, where we turn left towards the village Zgornje Retje (from the direction of Kočevje right). The road then through a narrow overpass over the railway track brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left (right Zgornje Retje). Only a little further, we come to the next crossroad, where we continue right upwards on a macadam road. We follow this road approximately 3 km to a crossroad, where we notice signs for Kamen vrh. We park on one of the parking lots by the road near the crossroad.
B) From the highway Ljubljana - Novo Mesto we take the exit Grosuplje (from the Ljubljana direction also possible the exit Cikava), then we continue driving towards the center of Grosuplje. From Grosuplje we continue driving in the direction of Veliko Mlačevo, Mala and Velika Račna and Videm. From Veliko Mlačevo we continue right (straight Lobček and Luče), then we continue driving towards Videm, and we drive along it to the settlement Zdenska vas, where we first turn right towards the settlement Videm, some 10 meters further once again right towards the settlement Rašica. The road then leads us through part of the settlement Cesta and continues along the railway track to the settlement Predstruge, where at the crossroad at the end of the settlement we continue straight (left Videm, right Rašica) on initially still an asphalt road, which later becomes macadam and starts ascending through the forest. When we arrive higher at a somewhat larger crossroad, where we notice the sign for Kamen vrh, we park at a suitable place by the crossroad.

Route description:
From the crossroad, we don't continue on the road in the direction of Kamen vrh, but we return a few meters on the road to a marked mountain path which leads from Ponikev towards Kamen vrh (if we came from Predstruge we continue on the right road). The marked footpath immediately goes into the forest and is at first only gently ascending. The path, which is occasionally a little harder to follow, joins the cart track higher up, on which we continue the ascent. The cart track, which gradually starts ascending steeper, changes into a footpath higher up, on which in a few minutes of additional walking we ascend to Kamen vrh, and from there in some 10 strides we descend to the mountain hut.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Grmada on Mala gora (1 h 15 min), Koča pri Sveti Ani on Mala gora (3 h 50 min), Stene svete Ane (3 h 35 min)

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