Bistra - Koča na Loki pod Raduho

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 (also mountain pasture Bela peč), on the edge of which we come to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue right (left Koča na Travniku, Travnik, Komen and Smrekovec) in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Loki and we continue past a smaller religious symbol in the forest. The path ahead moderately ascends through a lane of a dense forest and it quickly brings us to mountain pass Bela peč, where over a grazing fence we step on Štajerska side. We continue on a marked path which starts gradually descending and after a short descent brings us to the mountain pasture Vodol, where we step on a macadam road. We follow the road to the right, and we walk there only few meters, because then signs for mountain hut Koča na Loki point us to the left on a footpath which ascends diagonally by the upper edge of a mountain pasture. The path ahead passes into the forest, where we are for quite some time ascending diagonally. Higher, we step out of the forest, and the path quickly brings us to shepherd huts on the mountain pasture Javorje.
On the other side of the mountain pasture we step on a bad forest road, on which we start considerably descending. After a short descent, we notice the blazes, which point us to the right into the forest, through which in few minutes of additional descent, we descend to the mountain hut Koča na Loki pod Raduho.
