Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Črna na Koroškem, then continue in the direction of Koprivna and Solčava. Continue along the valley along the Meži River, and when you reach the crossroads where the road to Solčava branches off to the left, the route described above begins. Park somewhere nearby in a suitable place along the road.
b) Take the road to Solčava, then follow the signs for Črna na Koroškem. Then ascend to the pass Spodnje Sleme and descend to Črna na Koroškem and Koprivna. When you reach the valley, the junction with the road leading from Koprivna to Črna na Koroškem, you are at the start of the route described above. Park somewhere nearby in a suitable place along the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, take the road in the direction of Solčava, Podolševa and Logarska dolina, and the mountain signboard, which used to be next to the road signs, is now hidden nearby. The path initially leads us past a few more houses, including accommodation and the daily bar at Mojca, before the road turns into the forest and climbs through Janšekov graben. After a short climb, we arrive at a crossroads where the road splits and we continue to the right in the direction of the footpath to Raduha.
Continue along the road leading to the Janšek homestead, and we leave the road before crossing the stream and continue left on cart track, which begins to climb through the forest. Cart track has several forks higher up, and we continue along the wider one, which will take us to the Haderlap homestead after a while.
Go left here and walk to the carriage road. Continue along the road leading to the Spodnje Sleme pass (at the farm the abandoned path starts or continues, which leads past the Prodnik homestead and joins the marked path to Olševo a little further north of the Spodnje Sleme pass). After about an hour and a half's walk from the starting point, we reach the crossroads at the Spodnje Sleme pass.
From Spodnje Sleme continue left in the direction of Hut in Grohot and Bukovnik Farm (straight ahead Solčava, right Olševa) and follow the ascending macadam road. A few minutes higher, the road is laid, and just a little further on it splits.
Slightly to the left, the marked path continues towards Raduha, and straight ahead the road leads to the Bukovnik farm.
Continue left on the upper road, which is closed to public traffic by a road sign (straight ahead Bukovnik farm), and after about 100 metres you will reach a ramp, which also physically prevents further traffic. A little further on, we get a nice view of the 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 exit 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 in the direction of Durc and Raduha, where you initially walk on a 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.
