Gabrje - Planinski dom pri Gospodični

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Ljubelj or Ljubljana–Obrežje motorway, take the exit for Novo mesto - east (or the Otočec exit). At the roundabouts, follow the signs for Šentjernej or Ratež. In the settlement of Ratež, turn right towards the village of Velike Brusnice. From Velike Brusnice, continue on the main road towards the village of Gabrje. In the center of Gabrje, just past the inn, we reach a crossroads where we continue straight along Šumeči potok street. After leaving the last houses, the asphalt road rises sharply to the left, but we continue straight on the gravel road, where we soon reach a larger arranged parking lot with mountain signposts for Gorjance.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the marked footpath, along which there are signs for Trdinov vrh and Planinski dom pri Gospodični. The path continues to ascend through the forest, and at junctions we follow the well-marked and trodden trail. The ascent through the forest remains moderate, only here and there does the path become somewhat steeper. Higher up it rises a little more and turns left, leading us across a small bridge. This is followed by some transverse ascent to the left along the wooded northwestern slopes, after which the path turns right and leads us to the Gospodična spring.
We bypass the spring on the right side, then ascend via gentle steps to Planinski dom pri Gospodični.

Along the route: Izvir Gospodična (818m)
