Radušnik - Velika Raduha

Access to starting point:
From Mozirje we drive towards Logarska dolina, but only to the village Strmec (village between Ljubno and Luče), where signs for Snežna jama on Raduha point us to the right on a narrower ascending road. We then follow the mentioned road to a marked crossroad (the crossroad is located at an altitude of approximately 750 m), where signs for Luče (panoramic road) point us to the left (right Snežna jama). The road continues to ascend for some time, then brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue sharply right towards the farm Radušnik. Here the road ascends even steeper for a short time, then flattens a little and in a moderate ascent brings us to the farm Radušnik. Because there are no appropriate parking spots in front of the mentioned farm, it is better to park a little lower, on one of the appropriate places by the road.

Route description:
From the spot where we have parked, we first walk to the farm Radušnik, then continue on a wide marked cart track, which we follow only for a short time, as signs for Koča na Loki then direct us left onto a somewhat narrower and steeper cart track. Further we ascend on the mentioned cart track, which has a few smaller branchings, so we carefully follow the blazes so as not to stray from the right path. Higher the cart track temporarily changes into a steep footpath, then we join another cart track, on which in a few minutes of further walking we arrive at a forest road, which we only cross. Here a path from the mountain pasture Kosmačeve Rastke joins from the right, and we continue on a somewhat wider cart track, which further ascends gently to occasionally moderately. Higher the path brings us to the road leading towards Snežna jama, which we reach right at the spot where a forest road closed to public traffic branches off to the right upwards, on which in 15 minutes of further walking we arrive at Koča na Loki pod Raduho.
From the hut we continue on the marked path in the direction of Raduha, which already after a few tens of steps splits into two parts. We continue slightly left (slightly right Durce) on the path that ascends gently along the left edge of the valley. The path soon turns left and steeply ascends through a belt of sparse forest. The steepness soon eases, and the path leads us through a few smaller meadows into the belt of dwarf pines, where it further ascends moderately to occasionally steeply. After approximately one hour of walking from Koča na Loki, a path from Durce joins from the right, and we continue left on the transverse path in the direction of Raduha. The 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 a climbing path from Koča na Grohatu soon joins from the right. The path ahead again begins to ascend more steeply and then after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the 2062 m high summit.
