We park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a footpath following the signs Koča na Loki. After that, the path runs through the forest and most of the time in a gentle ascent crosses slopes towards the southwest. Later, the path becomes a little wider and passes into a cart track on which we get to the hunting cottage.
From the hunting cottage where a view opens up towards the south, we continue slightly right on the forest road. The road quickly brings us to a crossing, where we go right on a cart track following the signs Koča na Loki. Here from the left joins also the path from the farm Radušnik.
Cart track further is all the time ascending through the forest and it brings us to the road which leads towards the cave Snežna jama, and we reach it right on the spot, where right upwards for public traffic closed forest road branches off, on which in 15 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča na Loki pod Raduho.
