Bukovnik - Koča na Grohatu (by step)

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) a) 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 left road (the lower road leads to the Bukovnik farm), which leads us just 10 metres further on via a ramp. Just beyond the ramp, which prevents further driving, we reach a place where markings lead us left onto a marked footpath, which climbs a little steeply at first, then quickly flattens out. The trail then climbs gently southwards, crossing a number of ravines and some steeper slopes. In a few places we are helped by wooden bridges, and in one part even by a ropeway (not difficult). After about half an hour's walk, we leave the forest and the path leads us to a forest road, which then leads us over the mountain pasture Grohat. From here it is only a few steps of gentle ascent and the path, which opens up to a beautiful view of the northern slopes of the Raduha, quickly leads us to the Cottage on the Grohatu (Hut on the Grohat).
