Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Maribor we go to the exit Šentrupert, and then we continue driving towards Mozirje, Ljubno ob Savinji and valley Logarska dolina. From Ljubno we drive on the main road for approximately 6 km, and then in the settlement Struge, signs for Raduha and cave Snežna jama point us to the right on narrower and at first still asphalt road. At the crossroads, we follow the signs for cave Snežna jama, and the road which higher loses an asphalt covering we follow to the mountain pasture Vodol. We park by the crossroad, where in the middle of the left turn worse road branches off to the right, which leads to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Vodice, and then we continue driving towards Kamnik. In Kamnik we follow the signs for Gornji Grad and mountain pass Črnivec, and only 1 km before the mentioned mountain pass we turn left in the direction of Kranjski Rak and Podvolovljek. From Kranjski Rak (mountain pass Volovljek) we start descending towards Luče, where we turn right towards Mozirje. From Luče we drive towards Mozirje approximately 3 km, and then in the settlement Struge, signs for Raduha and cave Snežna jama point us to the left on narrower and at first still asphalt road. At the crossroads, we follow the signs for cave Snežna jama, and the road which higher loses an asphalt covering we follow to the mountain pasture Vodol. We park by the crossroad, where in the middle of the left turn worse road branches off to the right, which leads to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol.
Path description:
From the starting point, we at first walk to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol, where signs for mountain hut Koča na Loki point us to the left on a footpath which ascends diagonally by the upper edge of the 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.
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.
