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 follow few hairpin turns and a macadam road brings us to the parking lot below the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici, where there is a crossroad. We continue slightly left on the road which at first continues towards the north. Further, the road gradually starts descending, and at the crossroad after few kilometers we continue left. Further, we drive past the starting point of the path towards the waterfall Šumik, where the road turns quite to the right.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a footpath in the direction of Osankarica and Koča na Klopnem vrhu. Already after few steps of an ascent we reach the macadam road which we follow to the left, and we walk there only to the nearby crossroad, where we go on the upper right road (straight on the bottom road - Osankarica). For a short time, we walk on the mentioned road, and then signposts point us to the left on a marked footpath which continues a little to the left from the road. Higher, we for some time return on the road, and then for a short time, we again leave it. And when we the next time return on the road, we walk there to its end.
From the end of the road, we go right following the signs Klopni vrh and we continue on a cart track which gradually starts moderately descending. When the path flattens from the left joins also a marked path from the mountain hut Dom na Osankarici.
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: Koča na Klopnem vrhu (1260m)
