Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Slovenske Konjice, and then we follow the road to the mentioned settlement. In Slovenske Konjice we turn right towards Oplotnica, to which we have few kilometers winding road. In Oplotnica, where we join the road from Slovenska Bistrica we continue left in the direction of Osankarica. Further, for some time we are ascending by the stream Oplotnica, and then we get to a crossroad, where the road splits into two parts. Here we can continue left in the direction of Osankarica, or right in the direction of village Kebelj. If we continue on the left road which soon changes into macadam, and higher brings us on a little bigger crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Osankarica (left Rogla). From the crossroad follows few hairpin turns and macadam road brings us to a parking lot below the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici (from the crossroad, to the starting point, there is approximately 9 km). If we continue on the right road, we can get to Dom na Osankarici on a little longer, but all the time asphalt road. All crossroads are well marked.
B) From highway Maribor - Ljubljana we go to the exit Slovenska Bistrica - Jug, and then we continue driving towards Oplotnica. In Oplotnica, where we notice signs for Osankarica we continue straight, after that for some time we are ascending by the stream Oplotnica, where after a shorter ascent, we get to the spot, where the road splits into two parts. Here we can continue left in the direction of Osankarica, or right in the direction of village Kebelj. If we continue on the left road which soon changes into macadam, and higher brings us on a little bigger crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Osankarica (left Rogla). From the crossroad follows few hairpin turns and macadam road brings us to a parking lot below the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici (from the crossroad, to the starting point, there is approximately 9 km). If we continue on the right road, we can get to Dom na Osankarici on a little longer, but all the time asphalt road. All crossroads are well marked.
C) We drive into Ruše (to here from Maribor or Selnica ob Dravi) and then we continue driving towards Smolnik and higher Šumik. At the crossroad, where a road towards Koča na Šumiku branches off to the right, we continue straight. Next follows a sharp left turn near of which is a starting point of the path for waterfall Šumik, and only a little further we get to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Osankarica. Next follows few kilometers of the macadam road and we get to the parking lot below the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici, and from there we continue right in the direction of Pesek, Rogla, Ribniška koča, Partisan cottage and monument of Pohorje battalion on Osankarica. The path goes immediately into the forest through which it starts gently ascending. During the ascent, we cross some smaller streams, over which leads us a well-settled path. Higher, the path flattens, and then in a short descent brings us to Pohorje battalion camp, where there are several memorial plaques.
From the camp, where the marked path because of numerous footpaths somehow vanishes, we continue slightly right, and then at the nearby crossing we go left in the direction of Trije žeblji and mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu (slightly right - Koča na Šumiku). From the crossing ahead the path is short time still descending on a pleasant forest path, and then we get to the cart track which is usually few days after the rain still quite muddy. Further, we for some time walk on a cart track which is for some time descending, and for some time ascending. Eventually the cart track for some time changes into an again pleasant footpath which soon crosses a trickling well. The path ahead again passes on a cart track which is after the rain very muddy and consequently impassable. We look for an appropriate passage few meters away from the cart track, where there is already a partly beaten footpath. A little further, we again get on a footpath which leads through a thinner forest.
On the part of the path, where the forest gets thinner we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Klopni vrh.
Next follows few minutes of walking and a quite gentle path brings us to a macadam road, where there is a smaller crossing.
We continue straight across the road (left - pond Falski ribnik 3 minutes) and we continue on a cart track which starts moderately ascending. After a short ascent, we reach some kind of indistinct ridge, after which the path starts descending. After few minutes of descent, we join a wider cart track and we follow it to the left (right - Koča na Šumiku). We continue for some time on and by the cart track, and then we get to NOB monument, after which we soon step on a wider macadam road.
When we step on the road, we continue straight, and then at the nearby crossroad, we go on the bottom right road. From the crossroad follows only few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu.
From the mountain hut, we continue sharply left on a marked footpath following the signs Klopni vrh. After a short ascent through the forest we reach the macadam road (to here we can come, if at the crossroad few minutes before the mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu we continue on the left road), on which we then walk few 10 meters. When on the right side of the road, we notice a cart track and next to it blazes, which point us to the right, we leave the road and we continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track. The cart track further at first crosses an overgrown clearing, and then it passes into the forest and changes into a gentle footpath. When we step into the forest, to the top separates us only few steps of walking.
On the way: Taborišče pohorskega bataljona (1210m), Koča na Klopnem vrhu (1260m)
