From Ljubljana, take the highway toward Štajerska. Exit the highway at the Celje–Center exit and continue toward Zreče. In Zreče, you’ll come to a roundabout; take the third exit (sign for “center”). Continue along the main road, which passes the Tuš Kea supermarket and the Pod Roglo Hotel, and then begins a steep, winding climb up to the Rogla Ski Resort. We continue past the ski resort, following the road, which after a few minutes’ drive will take us to the Pesek mountain hut, where we park in the lot in front of it.

We continue on foot along the road, which is paved at first but soon turns into a gravel road. This is followed by a walk of just under an hour across fairly flat terrain, after which we’ll reach an intersection. Here, we turn left toward Klopni Vrh. However, we continue along the road for only a few meters before turning onto a forest trail, which we’ll find just a few meters further along the road leading toward Klopni Vrh. We continue for quite some time along a pleasant forest path that climbs very gradually—or is even flat at times—and along the way, we join the gravel road leading to the Klopni vrh Mountain Hut a few times. The trail is very well marked, so it’s impossible to get lost.
