Bukovnik - Lanež

Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Luce (to get here from Mozirje or from Kamnik via the Volovljek (Kranjski Rak) pass), then continue driving towards the Logar valley. In the village Solčava, leave the main road towards the Logar valley and turn right towards Podolševa, the Spodnje Sleme pass and Črna na Koroškem. The road then loses its asphalt surface, and after a few kilometres we turn right at the junction in Podolševa towards Črna na Koroškem. The road, which continues to climb mainly cross-country, will eventually lead us to the Spodnje Sleme pass. Turn right here in the direction of Koča na Grohatu and the Bukovnik farm (the Bukovnik farm is located at an altitude of 1327 m and is considered the highest farm in Slovenia) and continue the climb along the macadam road, which leads to the next crossroads a few 100 metres higher. At this junction, a forest road, closed to public traffic, turns slightly to the left, leading towards Koča na Grohatu, and the road continues straight ahead towards the aforementioned farm. Park in a suitable place near the junction.
b) Drive to Črna na Koroškem (to get here from Raven na Koroškem or from Šoštanj via the Spodnje Sleme pass), then continue driving towards Luce. Initially still an asphalt road, higher up it becomes a macadam road and leads to a crossroads of several roads at the Spodnje Sleme Pass. Turn left here in the direction of Koča na Grohatu and the Bukovnik farm (the Bukovnik farm is located at an altitude of 1327 m and is considered the highest farm in Slovenia) and continue your ascent on the macadam road, which leads to the next crossroads a few 100 metres higher. At this junction, a forest road, closed to public traffic, turns slightly to the left, leading towards Koča na Grohatu, and the road continues straight ahead towards the aforementioned farm. Park in a suitable place near the junction.

Path description:
From the starting point, take the upper road, which is closed to public traffic by a road sign (straight ahead Farm Bukovnik), and after about 100 metres you will arrive at a ramp, which also physically prevents further traffic. A little further on, we get a nice view towards Bukovnik Farm and Kamnik Savinja Alps, but when we return to the forest, the path splits.
Continue slightly left on the marked footpath (straight ahead on the road), which continues to cross the slopes to the right, climbing gently to moderately most of the time. While crossing, the path leads through some short steep parts, where it is well maintained and sometimes fenced, but technically not difficult. After a while, we emerge from the forest at mountain pasture Grohot, where we return to the road and are only a few 10 steps of easy walking away from Koča v Grohotu pod Raduho.
From the hut, continue towards Durc and Raduha, where you initially walk on the worse road, or higher cart track.
At the GRS hut, cart track finally ends, and we continue on the path which turns left. There is some climbing through occasionally sparse forest, and then we reach a marked crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Durc (right climbing route to Raduha).
The path climbs quite steeply and turns more and more to the east. The increasingly scenic route then leads to a scree slope below the buttresses of Mala Raduha, where we continue straight on (the old abandoned route is still visible slightly to the right). Crossing the scree slope, we enter the lane of dwarf pines after crossing the gully, through which we are guided by a well-maintained path. Following the above-mentioned path, which ascends steeply, after about 10 minutes' further walking, we arrive at a marked crossroads located slightly to the east of Durce.
From the crossroads go left (right Velika Raduha and one of the paths towards mountain pasture Loka) in the direction of Laneža and Huts na Loka under Raduha, where you go around the watering point on the right. There is a short descent to a small interesting overhanging cliff, then easy walking with a few short ascents and descents. The easy path then climbs moderately and, with fine views, leads us to the vast summit of Laneža, where there is a registration box in the shape of a miniature Aljaž's Tower on the left, and the highest point is located a little further to the right. Bukovnik - mountain pasture Grohot 0:40, mountain pasture Grohot - Durce 1:25, Durce - Lanež 0:15.
