Johannes Frischauf was a mathematician, surveyor and mountaineer. The bulk of his work was devoted to cartography, he systematically visited and described mountain ranges, especially the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. He collaborated with Slovenian mountaineers and rejected the Germanization efforts of the German mountaineering organization. He was responsible for the establishment of mountain huts in the Savinja Alps, where he built three huts. Frischauf searched for and marked many routes in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, determined many heights and wrote extensive articles about it. In 1893, the Slovenian Mountaineering Society named him an honorary member. The home in Okrešlj is named after him.
