Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Žalec exit and then continue driving towards Velenje. At the main roundabout in Velenje, turn right (towards Dravograd and Slovenj Gradec) and follow the main road to Mislinja, where you can park in one of the car parks (you can park in the gravel car park at the junction where the road to Mislinja graben turns off to the right, or in the vicinity of the main bus station).
b) From Koroška, take the first exit to Slovenj Gradec and then continue to Velenje. When you arrive in Mislinja, park in the car park next to the main bus station, or a little further on in the gravel car park next to the road to Mislinja graben.
Path description:
At the main bus stop in Mislinja we see the mountain direction signs for Črepič, which direct us to the old railway line (now a cycle path) towards Dravograd. At first you walk along the cycle path, then you arrive at a marked crossroads where the path to Završe branches off to the left. Continue on the above-mentioned path (straight Črepič), which continues along the ascending dirt road. The road soon leads us to a small hamlet, and then continues for a short time through the forest, where it soon leads to its end at a secluded farm.
Continue past the farm and continue in the same direction, except that you are now walking along cart track, which turns into a footpath higher up. On a small forest shoulder, we come to a small crossroads, where the signs for Obrul direct us to the right, and we continue straight on the marked path, which turns right only a few metres after that and then starts to descend more visibly. The path soon becomes smother, and then leads us in a moderate ascent to a fenced house. Go around the house on the left between the fences, then follow the asphalt road uphill past the tennis court. Continue along the road for some time, then, slightly above the hamlet, at the edge of which stands a chapel with several saints, turn left onto a wide cart track or worse road, which you then follow past several houses to the Church of St. Vida in Završe (St. Vida Church in Završe).
Go around the church on the right and continue past the NOB (National Liberation) Monument, where you reach an asphalt road. Continue along the above-mentioned road, following it in the direction of St. Rupert at several small crossroads. The way ahead leads past a hunting lodge, after which you quickly reach the Meh Inn and the St Rupert's Church above it.
From the church, continue in the same direction and follow the scenic road as it approaches the forest and turns right, where it gradually starts to descend. The road, which descends gently for the most part, continues through the forest for some time and then leads to a crossroads of several roads. Here we continue straight ahead, following the road for only a short distance, as signs then direct us to the left onto a marked path which continues along the ascending cart track. After a short climb, we emerge from the forest onto a hayfield, over which we walk to the other side, enjoying the beautiful views. Here we re-enter the forest and follow the gradually steeper path to Fričev vrh, which we reach after a 10-minute climb.
