Planina Loka - Lanež (eastern way)

Access to the starting point:
From Mozirje drive towards the Logar valley, but only as far as the village of Strmec (the village between Ljubno and Luce), where the signs for Snežna jama to Raduha direct you right onto a narrower ascending road. Follow the road, which has a few crossroads, in the direction of Snežna jama and the hut at Loka (the crossroads are well marked). After 16 km (9 km of which are macadam) of driving from the town, when we have left the main road, we reach the starting point, where we park near a small crossroads (at the crossroads there are mountain signs for the hut at Loka).

Path description:
At the parking lot we see the mountain direction signs for the hut at Loka and Raduha, which direct us to the worse forest road, which climbs through the lane of the forest. After only a few 10 steps, we emerge from the forest at the lower part of mountain pasture Loka. The ascent continues along a relatively steep road, which takes a few minutes to reach the hut on Loka.
From the hut continue slightly right along the marked path towards the saddle Durce (slightly left Raduha, right Smrekovec and Travnik). Continue on the right side of the ravine (on the left side of the ravine there is a path to Raduha) on a path that gradually starts to climb steeper. After about 10 minutes' walk from the hut, the path leads to a less visible crossroads, where we continue sharp right along a less visible path (straight Durce). After a few steps of further walking, we will notice on a tree the mountain direction signs marked Lanež and Durce through Laneža, which direct us left up a steep but marked trackless path (in the fog, orientation is extremely difficult). After a few minutes of climbing over a steep grassy slope, the "path" leads us to the pasture fence, where we continue to the left. Only a few steps further on, the marked path crosses the fence and then turns slightly to the left (here the path is already more visible).
The ascent continues along the scenic route, which leads past the animal watering point to a small valley between Lanež and Jelovec. The moderately steep path, which continues along a pleasant valley, soon leads us to an undistinguished saddle between the two peaks mentioned above.
The marked trail here turns left and begins to climb steeply up the eastern slopes of Lanež. Only a little higher up, we reach a scenic ridge, where the path climbs even steeper. After a few minutes of climbing, the steepness eases and the increasingly scenic route quickly leads to the vast summit of Lanež.
