Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Žalec, and then we continue driving in the direction Velenje. In the main roundabout in Velenje we continue right (direction Dravograd and Slovenj Gradec), and then we follow the main road to Mislinja, where on one of the parking lots we park (we can park on a macadam parking lot by the crossroad, where the road branches off to the right in Mislinjski graben or near the main bus stop).
B) From Koroška at first we drive in Slovenj Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Velenje. When we get to Mislinja we park on a parking lot next to the main bus station, or a little further on a macadam parking lot by the turn-off of the road in Mislinjski graben.
Path description:
Next to the main bus station in Mislinja we notice mountain signposts for Črepič, which point us on the old railway track (today cycling path) towards Dravograd. We at first walk on or by the cycling path, and then we get to a marked crossing, where the path on Završe branches off to the left, and we continue straight in the direction of the summit Črepič.
We still continue on a cycling path, and a little further it leads over a bridge with yellow fence. Only few 10 meters after the bridge, signs for Črepič point us to the left on a footpath which ascends steeply through the forest. The path soon flattens a little, but is still relatively steeply ascending on and by the forested ridge. After approximately half an hour of ascent the path entirely flattens and past a smaller feeding site comes out of the forest on a panoramic meadow. We continue past the abandoned hayloft on the path which returns into the forest, and after 2 minutes of additional walking brings us on a forested Črepič.
From Črepič we continue on a marked path in the direction of Fričev vrh. After a short descent, we step on a wide cart track and we follow it to the left, and it quickly brings us out of the forest on a wide meadows, where we also step on the road. On the road, we quickly get to a chapel, behind which is unmarked crossroad. We continue on the right upper road which is gently ascending and higher turns to the left, where it quickly brings us by a narrow lane of a forest. Here we leave the road and we continue right on a marked path which continues by the edge of the forest. The path ahead is ascending gently through the forest and soon brings us on an indistinct Časov vrh.
From Časov vrh we continue on a pleasant forest path, which descends on a small saddle between the already mentioned peak and Fričev vrh. From here we short time continue on a worse cart track, and then blazes point us to the right on an ascending footpath, on which in a little less than 15 minutes of additional walking, we get to Fričev vrh.
