Access to starting point:
A) From the road Maribor - Dravograd, between HE Fala and HE Ožbalt we turn left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju (from the direction Dravograd we turn right). On the other side of Drava we start ascending along Radoljna, and at the marked crossroad, we go slightly right on the main road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, in the center of the settlement, we turn right towards the primary school, where we park on a parking lot by the school. We can also park elsewhere in the settlement, where there are few settled free parking spots.
B) We drive into Ruše, and then we follow the road towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. In the settlement Činžat we get to a saddle, where the road starts descending, and lower we go left towards Lovrenc na Pohorju. When we get to the settlement Lovrenc na Pohorju we follow the main road, in the center of the settlement, we turn right towards the primary school, where we park on a parking lot by the school. We can also park elsewhere in the settlement, where there are few settled free parking spots.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the center of the settlement, and then we cross the main road through the settlement and we go on a side road in the direction towards Klopni vrh. Next follows some descent, and from the crossroad at the stop sign we go left. Few 10 meters ahead we go right, where we over the bridge cross the stream Radoljna. About 50 meters ahead we go once again right, and then we continue on the forest road which leads us through a meadow. And when the road a little ahead turns right, we go left on a cart track which takes us into the forest. In the forest, we go left on a footpath, on which we ascend steeper through the forest. We soon return on one of the cart tracks, and then follows few more crossings, where we follow the blazes. Higher, we cross two forest roads, and then we get to a meadow, where the footpath is less visible. We continue in approximately the same direction, and higher by the edge of the forest slightly to the left we look for the further marked path. In the forest, the path turns right and it starts ascending diagonally, and from the cart track we go quickly left on a marked footpath which again steeply ascends through the forest. When we reach the macadam road, we follow it to the right, and at the smaller crossroad, we go straight, and immediately after the crossroad from the road a marked path branches off slightly to the left, on which we don't continue.
We continue on the road, and a little ahead we cross another marked path which leads from Lovrenc na Pohorju towards Koča na Klopnem vrhu (path via Zgornji trg).
A short time we still walk on the road, and after the sign of water protection area we go left on a cart track, on which in few steps we get to the lake.
