Bistra - Planina Vodol

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Črna na Koroškem (we can get here from Mežica or from Šoštanj and Velenje through the pass Spodnje Sleme), then we continue driving towards Logarska dolina, Solčava, Pristava and Podpece. In Pristava we continue left and continue driving towards the dispersed settlement Bistra. After good 3 km of driving from Pristava, we will notice a chapel by the road, behind which we will come to a smaller crossroads, by which we notice mountaineering signposts for Raduha. We park on a suitable place by the crossroads.

Route description:
From the starting point, we head onto an ascending and initially still asphalted road in the direction of Koča na Loki and Raduha. The asphalt ends after a few steps, and we continue on the macadam road, which we follow to a smaller crossroads, where slightly to the right, across a grazing fence, a narrower road branches off. We continue on the mentioned right road, which immediately after a smaller wooden hut turns into a cart track, along which we walk to the edge of the forest.
Here the blazes direct us into the forest onto a footpath, which further moderately ascends along the cart track. Higher up, the path takes us out of the forest onto a larger clearing, where we bypass another hut on the left side. The path ahead returns to the forest, crosses a forest road, and then ascends along the stream. After a few minutes of walking along the stream, the path turns right and gradually moves away from the stream bed. Higher up, the path turns even more to the right, crosses a few short viewpoints, and then turns left, where after a few minutes of further walking it brings us to a forest road.
We continue in the direction of Raduha and proceed along a gentle and increasingly worse forest road. We continue along the road for quite some time, then it brings us to Knezova planina (also planina Bela peč), on the edge of which we arrive at a marked junction.
At the junction, we continue right (left Koča na Travniku, Travnik, Komen and Smrekovec) in the direction of Koča na Loki and continue past a smaller landmark into the forest. The path ahead moderately ascends through a belt of dense forest and quickly brings us to the pass Bela peč, where across the grazing fence we step onto the Štajerska side. We continue on the marked path, which gradually begins to descend and after a short descent brings us to planina Vodol.
