Koča na Klopnem vrhu - Klopni vrh (eastern path)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Dravograd, and then we continue driving towards Maribor. Soon after the place Ožbalt we leave the main road and continue driving right over the bridge across the river Drava in the direction of the place Lovrenc na Pohorju. On the other side of the river the road starts to ascend slightly and soon brings us to the next crossroad, 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 mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Above the village, the road becomes macadam, and it first ascends along the stream Lamprehtov potok. Higher, the road leads past the farm Lampreht, and at the crossroads we follow the road in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. 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 we 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 mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Above the village, the road becomes macadam, and it first ascends along the stream Lamprehtov potok. Higher, the road leads past the farm Lampreht, and at the crossroads we follow the road in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. When we arrive at the mentioned mountain hut, we park in a suitable place nearby.
C) From the Ljubljana-Maribor highway we take the exit Slovenske Konjice and continue driving towards the mentioned place. 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 mountain hut Koča na Pesku. At the mentioned mountain hut we continue right in the direction of Osankarica and mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Further we follow the macadam road, and at all subsequent crossroads we follow in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Klopnem vrhu. We park in a suitable place near the mentioned mountain hut.

Path description:
From the mountain hut we head onto the marked footpath following the signs for Klopni vrh. After a short ascent through the forest we reach the macadam road, along which we then walk some 10 meters. When on the right side of the road we notice a cart track and markings beside it directing us right, we leave the road and continue the ascent along the mentioned cart track. The cart track further first crosses an overgrown clearing, then enters the forest and turns into a gentle footpath. When we step into the forest, only a few steps of walking separate us from the summit.
