Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Črna na Koroškem (to here we can come from Mežica or from Šoštanj and Velenje through the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme), and then we continue driving towards the valley Logarska dolina, Solčava, Pristava and Podpeca. In Pristava we go left and we continue driving towards the dispersed settlement Bistra. After a good 3 km of driving from Pristava, we will notice by the road a chapel, behind which we will come to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice mountain signposts for Raduha. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on an ascending and at first still asphalt road in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Loki and Raduha. Asphalt already after few steps ends, and we continue on a macadam road which we follow to a smaller crossroad, where slightly to the right, over a grazing fence narrow road branches off. We continue on the mentioned right road which right after a smaller wooden cottage changes into a cart track, on which we walk to the edge of the forest.
Here blazes point us into the forest on a footpath which is further moderately ascending on a cart track. Higher, the path brings us out of the forest on a larger clearing, where on the left side we bypass one more cottage. The path ahead returns into the forest, crosses a forest road and then it is ascending by the stream. After few minutes of walking by the stream, the path turns to the right and gradually goes away from a riverbed of the stream. The path higher turns a little more to the right, crosses few shorter viewpoints, and then turns to the left, where after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road.
We go in the direction of Raduha and we continue on a gentle and worse forest road. We continue on the road for quite some time, and then it brings us to the mountain pasture Knezova planina or mountain pasture Bela peč.
