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 along 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:
A few 10 metres north of the hut, you will see signs for Klopni vrh, which direct you to cart track, which begins to climb through the forest. Follow the trail, which at a few small crossroads follows the route of the markings, all the way to the nearby summit, which is reached after about 15 minutes' walk.
