Beli Potok at Frankolovo - Špicasti vrh (Kislica)

Access to the starting point:
a) Leave the Maribor - Ljubljana motorway in Celje and continue along the old Celje - Slovenske Konjice road until you see a sign after Frankolovi pointing to Lindek Castle. Go left here and leave the vehicle at the appropriate place.
b) You can leave the motorway at the Tepanje / Slovenske Konjice exit and from there drive through Slovenske Konjice to Dolnji Stranice and on to Beli Potok. From this side, it is difficult to see the exit from the main road. Continue as in the description above.

Path description:
From the place where we left the old road Slovenske Konjice - Celje, we go up the asphalt road through the town of Beli Potok near Frankolovo. After a few minutes you will reach the entrance to the forest. At the beginning of the forest we are helped by an arrow, as this part of the trail is marked. After entering the forest, cross the Lindeški potok (there are some free climbing routes on the left) and our route starts to climb quite steeply on a partly rocky surface. Soon you will reach the Lindeski waterfall. After the waterfall, the stream and the marked path (which is also laid) will "turn" to the right, and we leave the marked path here and go left (unfortunately, this branch is not marked).
We climb about fifty metres, then turn sharp right (straight ahead would take us to Frankolovo). At this turn we will see cairn, which is overgrown with vegetation. The path now begins to climb moderately up the slope, and another cairn will be seen along the way.
After a while the path leads to a well-maintained wider forest road. Here you will see an aluminium arrow pointing slightly left upwards. Follow the road to a sharp bend to the right, where there is another marker, but it can be quickly missed. At the bend, go up into the woods. Here the path will start to climb very steeply to the next narrow cart track, which we just cross (another cairn will help us), and then soon climb to the Kislice ridge.
From here the route is no longer difficult in terms of orientation, as it follows the ridge of Kislice and is very well trodden. Typically, it alternates between steep and gentle slopes.
After a short climb over the roots, the challenging part of the route will come. On this challenging part, we are in a rocky area where we will climb over three rock jumps to the Špicasti vrh lookout point.
Skilled and experienced mountaineers may be able to walk this part without using their hands, but if you use your hands this part is much easier. Once you reach Špicasti vrh, the challenging part is over and you will be rewarded with an outstanding view to the south. Ahead of us will be Celje and its surroundings and the surrounding hills. The view to the east would also be exceptional (Kislica is visible from Čakovec and the taller buildings in Varaždin), but this view is obstructed by the forest. The postcard also bears a registration book and a stamp. From the viewpoint, continue west along the marked path. At the beginning we are in a partly rocky world, but after a minute of walking the path turns back into the forest. It is another ten minutes along the ridge and one small steep climb to the top of Kislica. The top of Kislica is in the forest and there is no view, but from the path to the top the forest is thinned in one place and you can see to the north (view towards the neighbouring Mali Gora, Stenica).
I do not recommend the path in the rain, because it is quite slippery on the roots and rocks. Anyone who is not good at orienteering should go on this trail with someone who knows it.
