Access to the starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Slovenske Konjice exit and then follow the road to the above-mentioned place. At Slovenske Konjice turn right towards Oplotnica, which is a few kilometres away on a winding road. At Oplotnica, where you join the road from Slovenska Bistrica, turn left towards Osankarica. Continue along the Oplotnica stream for a while, then reach a crossroads where the road splits into two. Here you can continue left in the direction of Osankarica, or right in the direction of the village of Kebelj. If you continue on the left road, it soon turns into a macadam road, and higher up it leads to a slightly larger crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Osankarica (left Rogla). From the crossroads, there are a few more serpentines, and the macadam road leads to a parking area under Dom na Osankarici, where there is a crossroads. Continue slightly left along the road, which initially continues northwards. The road then gradually starts to descend and we continue left at the junction after a few kilometres. Continue past the trailhead for the Šumik waterfall, where the road turns quite a bit to the right. At the junction after the bend, continue left, and then park just a little further on in a suitable space near the Šumik Cottage.
b) From the motorway Maribor - Ljubljana, take the exit Slovenska Bistrica - South, then continue towards Oplotnica. At Oplotnica, where you will see signs for Osankarica, continue straight ahead, then climb for some time along the Oplotnica stream, where after a short climb you will reach a point where the road splits into two parts. Here you can either continue left towards Osankarica, or right towards the village of Kebelj. If you continue on the left road, it soon turns into a macadam road, and higher up it leads to a slightly larger crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Osankarica (left Rogla). From the crossroads, there are a few more serpentines, and the macadam road leads to a parking area under Dom na Osankarici, where there is a crossroads. Continue slightly left along the road, which initially continues northwards. The road then gradually starts to descend and we continue left at the junction after a few kilometres. Continue past the trailhead for the Šumik waterfall, where the road turns quite a bit to the right. At the junction after the bend, continue left, then park just a little further on in a suitable space near the Šumik Hut. c) Drive to Ruše (to get here from Maribor or Selnica ob Dravi) and then continue to Smolnik and higher up to Šumik. At the crossroads where the road to Koča na Šumiku turns right, turn right and after a few 10 metres of further driving park in a suitable place near the Cottage on Šumik.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the footpath in the direction of Osankarice and Koča na Klopni vrh. After a few steps of ascent you reach a macadam road, which you follow to the left, and we walk along it only until a nearby crossroads, where we take the upper right road (straight on the lower road Osankarica). Walk along the road for a short time, and then the mountain signs direct you to the left on a marked footpath that continues slightly to the left of the road. At a higher altitude, we return to the road, and then leave it again for a short time. The next time you return to the road, follow it to its end.
From the end of the road, bear right after the Klopni vrh markers and continue along cart track, which gradually begins to descend gently. When the path is laid, a marked path from Dom na Osankarici joins us on the left.
Continue along and along cart track for some time, then reach the NOB monument, after which you soon enter a wider macadam road.
Once on the road, continue straight ahead, then at the nearby crossroads take the road on the bottom right. From the crossroads it is only a few minutes of easy walking and the path leads to Koča na Klopnem vrh.
From the hut, take a sharp left onto the marked footpath behind the Klopni vrh signs. After a short climb through the forest, you reach a macadam road (you can get here if you continue on the left road at the crossroads a few minutes before Koča na Klopnem vrhu), which you then walk along for a few 10 metres. When you see cart track on the right-hand side of the road and markings next to it pointing to the right, leave the road and continue your ascent by following the above-mentioned cart track. Cart track then first crosses an overgrown clearing, then passes into a forest and turns into a winding footpath. Once in the woods, it is only a short walk to the top.

Se dobi žig na klopnem vrhu kje? Ker nekaj pravijo da je dom bolj malo odprt?

Danes sva s fantom prehodila to čudovito pot. Nikogar nisva srečala celo pot, samo družino gamsov Je prelepo, je še nekaj snega ampak dostopno. Žig se nahaja na vrhu v škatlici.
