Luče - Koča na Loki pod Raduho

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Maribor motorway, take the Šentrupert exit and then continue in the direction of Logarska dolina. At the beginning of Luče, just a few metres before the road crosses the Savinja River, you will notice a large gravel parking lot on the left side of the road.
The starting point can also be reached via the Volovjek (Kranjski Rak) Pass. In this case, turn right in Luče in the direction Mozirje and then park in the parking lot mentioned above just 10 m after the bridge over the Savinja River.

Path description:
Between the parking lot and the bridge over the Savinja River, you will see a sign for the Koča na Loki (Cottage on the Loka) by the roadside, which directs you to the path, which initially climbs steeply up the steps. The path soon becomes a gentle slope and then continues along a ridge which descends steeply towards the Savinja River. Further on, you enter a dense forest and the path quickly leads to a chapel, after which there is a small crossroads.
Continue along the right-hand path, which begins to climb steeply, then lays down and turns to the right. There is a short right fork and then you emerge from the forest onto a large hayfield. The path, which is not very visible ahead, ascends crosswise over the hayfield and then leads to a small hamlet, where we see the markings again. The way ahead leads us past a few houses and above them into the lane of bushes, through which we climb to the nearby road. The road is only crossed, as the route signs located by the small sign direct us to a footpath which continues to climb moderately through the wods. A little higher up, we get a nice view of Raduha, and we continue on the marked path, which leads us just a little higher up to the road, which after a few metres leads to a marked crossroads. Continue slightly to the left and continue your ascent along the road towards Raduha. Continue climbing for some time along the road, which has some marked shortcuts (markings are very rare in this area), and then you will come to a newly built road, where a wide marked cart track road branches off in the middle of a left turn to the right. We continue our ascent along the above-mentioned cart track, which leads us higher up again on the above-mentioned road, and we walk along it for only a few more 10 steps, then on the left we see a marked trail leading towards the Loka and Arta mountains (the turn-off from the newly built road is not marked). Next, we climb crosswise parallel to the road, and the path leads us just a little further to a large bench at which there is a marked crossroads.
Continue on the right path (to the left, Mount Arta), which climbs for some time crosswise, and then leads to the road leading to the Snow Cave. This road is reached just at a crossroads where a forest road closed to public traffic branches off to the right, leading to mountain pasture Loka. Take the road mentioned above and climb it in 15 minutes of moderate ascent to the hut at Loka pod Raduho.
