Planina Loka - Lanež (via Durce)

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 slightly right on a marked path in the direction of saddle Durce (slightly left Raduha, right Smrekovec and Travnik). Further, at first we are gently ascending on the right side of the ditch (on the left side of the ditch runs the path on Raduha) on the path, that gradually starts to ascend steeper. After approximately 10 minutes of walking from the mountain hut, the path brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where eastern path on Lanež branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Durce, on at first a little poorly visible footpath. A little further, the path turns slightly to the left, crosses a grazing fence and then passes into a lane of dwarf pines, through which we are ascending through a small valley. The path ahead bypasses a small well (in dry days dries up) and a little above it steeply ascends on a short unvegetated slope. In the middle of the mentioned slope, the path turns to the left, and after few minutes of a diagonal ascent through dwarf pines, brings us to a marked crossing on the saddle Durce.
On Durce we continue right in the direction of Lanež (left Raduha, straight downwards mountain hut Koča na Grohatu) on a gently sloping path which continues towards the northeast. After a shorter gentle ascent the path descends a little and then it starts ascending towards the summit of Lanež, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
The starting point - Koča na Loki 0:15, Koča na Loki - Lanež 1:10.
