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 18 km (from this 11 km macadam) of driving from a spot, when we left the main road we come to a parking lot below cave Snežna jama.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice signposts for cave Snežna jama, which point us to the right on a steep ascending cart track, on which in a little less than 10 minutes of walking, we ascend to cave Snežna jama.
From Snežna jama we continue slightly right on a gently sloping mountain path (direction Loka and Raduha), which soon joins a wide cart track. We continue acent on the mentioned cart track which past a grazing fence brings us to a mountain pasture Planina Arta, where there stands a smaller shepherd hut.
By mentioned shepherd hut we notice the signposts, which point us slightly left upwards on at first poorly visible path (in fog, the orientation is difficult). A little higher, the path becomes better visible and it turns slightly towards the left and after a few additional strides it brings us into the forest. We continue the ascent through a conifer forest, on the path which higher brings us on the ridge of Raduha (a view on Robanov kot). Here the path turns slightly to the right and then continues by mostly covered ridge (spruces, larches and dwarf pines). The path with increasingly beautiful view, which ahead runs through dwarf pines, after a time avoids the ridge to the right, where it crosses an indistinct secondary peak of Velika Raduha.
The path then again starts ascending and from dwarf pines brings us on an upper grassy slopes of Raduha, on which we in few minutes ascend on a peak with a beautiful view.
