Access to starting point:
From Mozirje we drive towards the valley Logarska dolina, but only to the village Struge (village between Ljubno and Luče), where signs for cave Snežna jama on Raduha point us to the right on a narrower and ascending road. The mentioned road which has few crossroad we follow in the direction of Snežna jama and mountain hut Koča na Loki (crossroads are well marked). After 16 km (from that 9 km macadam) of driving from the spot, when we left the main road we come to the starting point, where we park near the smaller crossroad (by the crossroad there are signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki).
Path description:
By the parking lot we notice hiking signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki and Raduha, which point us on a rough forest road which ascends through a lane of a forest. Already after few 10 strides of walking, we step out of the forest on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Loka. We continue the ascent on a relatively steep road, on which in few minutes we ascend to the hut Koča na Loki.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Raduha, and which already on few 10 strides splits into two parts. We continue slightly left (slightly right Durce) on the path, that is gently ascending on the left edge of a small valley. The path soon turns to the left and steeply ascends through a lane of thin forest. The steepness soon decreases and the path through some smaller meadows leads in a lane of dwarf pines, where it is further moderately to occasionally steeply ascending. After approximately one hour of walking from the mountain hut Koča na Loki, from the right joins the path from Durce, and we continue left on a passing path in the direction of Raduha. The path with increasingly beautiful view, on the south side bypasses the peak of Mala Raduha, and then it brings us on the main ridge, from which a nice view opens up on the northern side.
We continue on a marked path, which soon from the right joins the climbing path from the mountain hut Koča na Grohatu. The path ahead again starts ascending steeper and then after few minutes of additional walking brings us on 2062 meters high peak.
The starting point - Koča na Loki 0:15, Koča na Loki - Velika Raduha 1:40.
