Koča na Klopnem vrhu - Dom na Osankarici

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Dravograd, then continue to Maribor. Shortly after Ožbalt, leave the main road and turn right over the bridge over the River Drava towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. On the other side of the river, the road starts to climb slightly and soon leads to the next crossroads, where we turn left in the direction of the village Činžat (right Lovrenc to Pohorje). In Činžat, where we join the road from Ruš, we turn right in the direction of Koča na Klopnem vrh. Above the village, the road becomes macadam, and initially climbs along the Lampreht stream. Higher up, the road leads past the Lampreht farm, and we follow the road at the crossroads in the direction of Koča na Klopnem vrh. When you reach the hut, park in a suitable place near it.
b) Drive to Ruše (to get here from Maribor or Selnica ob Dravi) and then continue driving towards Lovrenec on Pohorje. When you reach the village of Činžat, leave the road leading to Lovrenc na Pohorju and drive left along the initially still asphalted road in the direction of Klopnem vrh (Cottage on Klopne Top). Above the village, the road becomes macadam and initially climbs along the Lampreht stream. Higher up, the road leads past the Lampreht farm, and we follow the road at the crossroads in the direction of Koča na Klopnem vrh. When you reach the hut, park in a suitable place near it.
c) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the exit Slovenske Konjice and continue driving towards the above-mentioned place. From Slovenske Konjice continue towards Zrečy, and we continue along the road in the direction of Roga. When you arrive at Rogla, continue along the main road, and we will follow it down to Koča na Pesku. At the hut, turn right in the direction of Osankarica and Klopnem vrh. Continue on the macadam road, then at all subsequent crossroads follow the road towards the Hut on Klopnem vrh. Park in a suitable place near the hut.

Path description:
From Koča na Klopnem vrhu continue along the road in the direction of Osankarice and Koča na Šumiku. The road soon leads to the first crossroads, where you continue straight on (right Koča na Pesku and Rogla). From the crossroads, walk along the wide macadam road for only a few more 10 metres, and then turn slightly right onto the initially wide cart track. Cart track leads us first past the NOB monument and then onto a meadow, where it narrows. On the other side of the meadow, cross a small stream and then begin a slightly steeper climb. Higher up, the slightly wider cart track lies again and, after a few minutes' further walking, leads us to a marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, leave the wider cart track leading towards Koča na Šumiku and continue right on the narrower cart track in the direction of Osankarica. From the crossroads onwards, climb for a few minutes and then gradually start descending. When the descent ends, we arrive at a macadam road, which we just cross (right Falski rybnik 3 minutes).
Continue through a short marshy area and then into lane of a thinner forest. When the forest thins out further, the path leads to a marked crossroads, where you continue slightly left in the direction of Osankarica.
The path then leads over Treh Žeblje, then crosses a small stream and enters a dense forest. Then you walk through the forest, partly on forest tracks and partly on a number of tracks, which are usually quite muddy after rain. After a few ascents and descents, leave the track and continue slightly to the right on the path towards Osankarica. From the above-mentioned mountain signs, you will climb in a few minutes to the Pohorje Battalion camp, where there are several memorials.
At the memorials, the path from Koča na Šumiku joins us, and we continue straight ahead, initially slightly uphill. After the ascent is complete, the path gradually becomes completely flat and then gradually descends. A few minutes of descending on a well-maintained path follows, and the path quickly leads us to Doma na Osankarici.
