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 day bar at Mojca, and then the road enters 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 towards the Janšek homestead, and we soon reach a bridge where we cross the Janšekov graben stream. Before the bridge, cart track branches off to the left, which leads past the Haderlap homestead, and we continue straight ahead. A little further on, we leave the forest and quickly reach the Janšek homestead, where we have a beautiful view of the Church of St James and the Pec.

After the homestead, continue along the upper road, turn immediately right and then start climbing along the edge of the hay meadow. At the upper edge of the hay meadow, you will come to cart track and we follow it to the right. From the worse cart track, which continues through the woods, go left for a short distance, then follow the older markings at the forks. Continue ascending through the forest, following the barely visible tracks, and at a higher altitude you will approach a dirt road. Go straight ahead here, then reach a larger hayfield by the former homestead of a pebble, where the track disappears completely. Continue to the upper edge of the hay meadow, where the markings reappear in the woods, and we follow the markings through the woods, but the track is largely absent. Higher up, an old track appears, which ascends crossways to a forest road, where we reach the marked path from Spodnji Slemena.
Follow the road to the left (Olševa to the right) and descend easily in a few minutes to the Spodnje Sleme pass, where there is a crossroads.
Continue straight ahead across the wider road connecting Koprivna and Solčava and continue towards the Grohot Cottage, Raduha and Bukovnik Farm. Follow the macadam road, climbing moderately at first, then the road will lay down and fork a little further on. Slightly to the left, the marked trail continues towards Raduha, and we continue slightly to the right and after a few minutes of further walking we arrive at the Bukovnik farm, which is considered the highest farm in Slovenia.
