Access to starting point:
From Mozirje we drive towards Logarska dolina, but only to the village Struge (village between Ljubno and Luče), where signs for Snežna jama on Raduha point us to the right onto a narrower ascending road. The mentioned road, which has a few crossroads, we follow in the direction of Snežna jama and mountain hut Koča na Loki (crossroads are well marked). After 16 km (of which 9 km macadam) of driving from the spot where we left the main road, we come to the starting point, where we park near a smaller crossroads (by the crossroads there are signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki).
Route description:
By the parking lot we notice hiking signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki and Raduha, which point us onto a rough forest road which ascends through a strip of forest. Already after a few dozen steps of walking, we step out of the forest onto the lower part of mountain pasture Loka. We continue the ascent on a relatively steep road, along which in a few minutes we ascend to the hut Koča na Loki.
From the hut we continue on a marked path in the direction of Raduha, which already after a few dozen steps splits into two parts. We continue slightly left (slightly right Durce) on the path, which gently ascends along the left edge of the small valley. The path soon turns left and steeply ascends through a strip of sparse forest. The steepness soon eases, and the path leads us through a few smaller meadows into a belt of dwarf pines, where it continues moderately to occasionally steeply ascending. After approximately one hour of walking from Koča na Loki, the path from Durce joins from the right, and we continue left on the traversing path in the direction of Raduha. An increasingly scenic path bypasses the summit of Mala Raduha on the south side, then brings us to the main ridge, from which a nice view opens onto the northern side.
We continue on the marked path, to which soon from the right the climbing path from mountain hut Koča na Grohatu joins. The path ahead again starts to ascend more steeply and then after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the 2062 m high summit.
Izhodišče - Koča na Loki 0:15, Koča na Loki - Velika Raduha 1:40.

Are crampons still needed?
otiv4. 05. 2015
The mentioned trail runs along the southern side of Raduha and I think there isn't much snow. Perhaps in some shadier spots, where it can be crossed normally without crampons.
radegunda15. 05. 2015
Which direction of the circular path would you recommend more?
Planina Loka>Raduha> descent towards Snežna jama; OR
Snežna jama > Raduha > descent towards Planina Loka?
Regards
otiv15. 05. 2015
Definitely first to the top of Raduha and then visit Snežna jama, which I think takes about an hour and a bit.
mirank15. 05. 2015
Loka -Durce descent to Grohat, from there to Raduha on the more demanding one. Down via Arto and to S. jama is a full day.velik nasmeh

Has anyone been to Raduha this weekend - from Loka or from the other side? How much snow, how are the paths? Are the huts open?
seinfeld12. 11. 2015
I took this path to the summit today. Dreamy weather, no wind or clouds, at the top, just in the company of ptarmigans, I sat in my shirt. I extended via Durce to Lanež and back towards Loka. 8km hike, in under three hours.
Hribolazec8126. 01. 2016
How is it now on this path to Raduha, snow or bare ground?

On Saturday on Raduha, up past Snežna jama, down past the hut on Loka. Road to parking below the hut is passable, on the path past Snežna jama there is snow, but due to warm weather it was soft, towards the top and on the top a thin blanket of snow, down towards the hut a bit more frozen snow, lower down mud.
Kidrock26. 02. 2016
Does anyone know what the path to Raduha is like? Can you drive to Loka? Thanks
drdivx16. 03. 2016
The safest is to Radušnik.
Due to wind the conditions change from hour to hour. In places the trodden path is visible, in places the wind covers it up immediately.
I recommend winter gear, because it's better to carry 2kg more and not use it, than not to have it.

This Saturday there should be the traditional hike to Raduha, so I think the hut will be open, call there and get first-hand information.
LP!

Nice greetings. Does anyone know how the current road to Loka is, and of course the path to the summit of Raduha. Thanks.

Snow snow snow. But it will melt after the holidays. Emphasis on after the holidays.velik nasmeh

The path from the hut to Raduha is a bit steep, but a nice path. The stamp is now attached to a metal chain. At the hut very friendly keepers and very tidy surroundings. The road to Raduha is ok, although it is gravel.
anazala27. 10. 2017
How is the road to Loka, does anyone know? Is it passable? Is everything okay? Is the hut open?
mornar28. 10. 2017
Was at Loka on 21.10. road in fairly good condition.

Does anyone know how the access road to Planina Loka is and then how the path ahead is? thanks

Apparently it's plowed up to where the path to Javor branches off.

We were up there two weeks ago. Green and nice :-) I recommend the blueberry strudel in the hut at Loka. Best

The local sign is no longer Struge but Strmec.

Hello, since my son and I are heading to Raduha from this direction soon, I'm interested if it's best to park before the gravel road starts, how much walking there is then to the hut and if the markers to the hut are frequent enough and if you would recommend any other access starting point
geppo7. 08. 2020
If it's your first time, just drive to the sign under Loka. From there you have about 15 minutes walk to the hut and then in the heat about 2 hours to the top. The path is quite unpleasant for me in this time of year, in winter I tackle it from this end.
You can also choose to park where the asphalt ends and then walk some more to the hut. Marked and you shouldn't have difficulties. You can also choose from Radušnik. You also have the option to drive to Planina Vodole, park at that well-known junction and via planina Javorje.
Choose the most suitable for you two, there are quite a few options.

Hello,

has anyone been to Raduha via this path in these recent days? I'm interested if the path is safe given the recent snow conditions.

Sorry if I don't represent everything perfectly, but there are quite a few of us from the neighboring country who also love Slovenia and Slovenian mountains, we just might not get every word right, that's why I asked. nasmeh

There's not much to "represent".
There's quite a bit of snow and it sinks in properly, sometimes up to the knees.mežikanje

I also have one question: is the road to P under Koča na Loki already drivable? And don't tell me if I don't get it. If someone doesn't want to share information, they shouldn't vent in another way.
lijaneja23. 04. 2022 18:54:09
Feliks, nobody will respond to you when you're so harsh.nasmeh
I was up there a few weeks ago during the hike to Raduha and there was so little of it that it's surely gone by now.
skalar5026. 04. 2022 00:20:33
when one sifts through some of the above statements ...

my god alias world simplicity ...
arrogance and conceit of individuals who obviously (continuously) take the liberty of lecturing others ...

if those who "consider" themselves regular (semi)professional hill walkers don't deem it worth writing even a basic answer then in your omniscience better write nothing ...

if someone asks something friendly - yes even a question where the answer is obvious to regular hikers - they expect an equally friendly reply ... especially if Slovenian isn't their native language ...

immediate "barking" surely isn't the point of this forum ... at least it wasn't years ago

wish everyone safe steps!
dprapr26. 04. 2022 17:08:13
I don't see any arrogance or conceit up there. Just one strange question.nasmeh

Hello,

on Sunday I plan to go to Raduha for the first time. If someone has been recently, has the snow melted on this trail already? What are the conditions?
Hribolazec8127. 05. 2023 17:23:38
I love mountains, see you tomorrow up there👌
Apparently it's normally trodden from Loka, crampons in the backpack just in case 😄
LjubimHribe29. 05. 2023 10:24:42
Yesterday I was on Raduha and the path is normally trodden (as Hribolazec81 wrote), there's just a little snow left, but crampons are not needed even in the backpack nasmeh

How is the road-macadam to this parking lot. Passable for a passenger car?
Klinar279. 05. 2024 00:09:36
Not the most beautiful, but you can get there with a lower car too nasmeh
michael6625. 07. 2024 17:54:33
Did the recent storms damage the path to the parking lot below pl. Loka?
jax25. 07. 2024 22:11:29
The hut keeper reported on FB that apparently not.
Matjaž592. 11. 2024 09:10:25
Yesterday I was on Raduha, the road to the parking lot at Loka is normally drivable. I have a low car (Audi A3), and it went without issues. But you need to adjust speed, both on the asphalt part and on the gravel. On gravel it shakes a bit here and there, that's all. On very rare spots the gravel road is a bit muddy. Weather was ideal, few hikers, no crowds at the top. Super!
xtrinch26. 06. 2025 10:13:34
Park below hut at Loka, road there macadam many call desperate but normally drivable. Path from hut to Raduha summit super and safe.

The road is good, they are also fixing it.
