From Novo mesto, continue in the direction of Dolenjske Toplice. In Podturno, join the road to Črnomelj (left). Drive through the villages of Občice and Stare žage, then arrive in Črmošnjice. After Črmošnjice, drive to the village of Vrčice, where you park in a gravel parking lot near the inn.

From the car park, head towards Mirna Gora. Before the church, join the asphalt road and continue to the right. The road leads into the forest and starts to climb. As the asphalt gives way to macadam, you will soon come to a fork where you continue to the right. There is a long walk before you reach Planina. From Planina, the signpost for the educational trail to Mirna Gora points uphill along the track. Go around the houses and turn right into the forest towards Mirna Gora. You will then climb up the forest path, during which you will be able to observe a cave, various trees, an animal feeder, various plants, etc. Shortly after the feeder and the musical instrument, the path crosses a macadam road. When you reach the road for the second time, join it and follow it to the hut on Mirna Gora. From here, continue along the path to the left of the hut. It is initially sloping, but then begins to climb. Just a few minutes before reaching the goal, we pass the aerials.
