Path description:
From the starting point is we go on the road in the direction of Solčava, Podolševa and valley Logarska dolina, signpost which used to be next to the road signs, is now hidden nearby. The path at first leads past few more houses, among other things past lodging house and bar Pri Mojci, and then the road passes into the forest and is ascending through Janšekov graben. After a short ascent, we get to a crossroad, where the road splits, and we continue right in the direction of the footpath on Raduha.
Further, we walk on the road which leads towards the homestead Janšek, and we leave the road before we cross the stream and we continue left on a cart track which starts ascending through the forest. Cart track has higher more crossings, and we continue on wider, and there we eventually get to homestead Haderlap.
Here we go left and we walk to a driving road. We continue on the road which leads towards the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme (at the farm it starts or continues also an abandoned path which leads past the homestead Prodnik and joins the marked path on Olševa a little more north from the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme). After approximately hour and a half of walking from the starting point, we get to a crossing on the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme.
From Spodnje Sleme we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča v Grohotu and farm Bukovnik (straight Solčava, right Olševa) and we continue on an ascending macadam road. Few minutes higher the road flattens, and only a little further it splits.
Slightly to the left continues a marked path towards Raduha, and we continue slightly right and after few minutes of additional walking, we get to the farm Bukovnik, which is known as the highest farm in Slovenia.
