Path description:
From Vrčice we head onto the macadam road in the direction of Kleč, Planina and Mirna gora. The macadam road quickly descends to the church of St. Martin, before which we step onto the asphalt road that leads to Mirna gora, and we follow it to the right. The road first leads past a few houses, then enters the forest, where it starts to ascend more steeply. Only a little after the asphalt ends, we arrive at a marked intersection, where we continue on the right road (left access to Mirna gora with a car), and the hiking signposts also direct us there. Further on, we ascend for some time along the macadam road, then the marked path leaves it for a while and returns to it at the memorial plaque or stone. We continue the ascent along the road, which gradually levels out and brings us from the forest to a less vegetated area named Kleč.
Here the path leads past the nearby hunting house Kleč and the ruins of the former church, to the next intersection.
At the intersection, where there are numerous signposts, we choose the left path (right Mirna gora via Škrilj), which continues on a slightly ascending macadam road. The road then completely levels out and brings us to the church of St. Ilija in a few minutes of further walking.
From the church we continue along the road, then arrive at numerous signs and marks. Here a marked footpath branches off to the right to Mirna gora, and we continue on the road, which soon brings us above the village. At the intersections, follow the road in the direction of Dom na Mirni gori, which higher up ascends steeply, crosses a strip of forest, and then brings us to the already mentioned mountain hut.
