Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Dravograd, then continue driving towards Maribor. Soon after the settlement Ožbalt we leave the main road and continue driving right across the bridge over the river Drava in the direction of the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju. On the other side of the river the road starts ascending slightly and soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue left in the direction of the village Činžat (right Lovrenc na Pohorju). In Činžat, where the road from Ruše also joins, we continue right in the direction of the Koča na Klopnem vrhu mountain hut. Above the village, the road becomes macadam, which first ascends along the Lamprehtov potok stream. Higher, the road leads past the Lampreht farm, and we follow the road at the junctions in the direction of the Koča na Klopnem vrhu mountain hut. When we arrive at the mentioned mountain hut, we park in a suitable place nearby.
B) We drive to Ruše (to here from Maribor or Selnica ob Dravi), then continue driving towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we arrive at the village Činžat, we leave the road that leads towards Lovrenc na Pohorju and continue driving left on the initially still asphalt road in the direction of the Koča na Klopnem vrhu mountain hut. Above the village, the road becomes macadam, which first ascends along the Lamprehtov potok stream. Higher, the road leads past the Lampreht farm, and we follow the road at the junctions in the direction of the Koča na Klopnem vrhu mountain hut. When we arrive at the mentioned mountain hut, we park in a suitable place nearby.
C) From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway we take the Slovenske Konjice exit and continue driving towards the mentioned settlement. From Slovenske Konjice we continue towards Zreče, and we follow the road in the direction of Rogla. When we arrive at Rogla we continue driving on the main road, and we descend along it to the Koča na Pesku mountain hut. At the mentioned mountain hut we continue right in the direction of Osankarica and Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Further we follow the macadam road, then at all following junctions we follow in the direction of the Koča na Klopnem vrhu mountain hut. We park in a suitable place near the mentioned mountain hut.
Route description:
Some 10 meters north of the mountain hut we notice signs for Klopni vrh, which direct us onto a cart track that starts ascending through the forest. We follow the path, which at a few smaller junctions we follow in the direction of the blazes, all the way to the nearby peak, which we reach after approximately 15 minutes of walking.
