Bistra - Koča na Travniku

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Črna na Koroškem (we can arrive here from Mežica or from Šoštanj and Velenje through the Spodnje Sleme pass), then we continue driving towards Logarska dolina, Solčava, Pristava and Podpeca. In Pristava we go left and continue driving towards the dispersed settlement Bistra. After a good 3 km of driving from Pristava, we will notice a chapel by the road, behind which we will come to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice mountain signposts for Raduha. We park at a suitable place by the crossroad.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto an ascending and initially still asphalted road in the direction of Koča na Loki and Raduha. The asphalt ends after just a few steps, but we continue the path on a macadam road, which we follow to a smaller crossroad, where slightly to the right, across the pasture fence, a narrower road branches off. We continue on the mentioned right road, which immediately after a smaller wooden hut turns into a cart track, along which we walk to the edge of the forest.
Here the blazes direct us into the forest onto a footpath, which further moderately ascends along a cart track. Higher up, the path takes us out of the forest onto a larger clearing, where we bypass another hut on the left side. The path ahead returns to the forest, crosses a forest road, and then ascends beside the stream. After a few minutes of walking beside the stream, the path turns right and gradually distances itself from the streambed. Higher up, the path turns even a bit more to the right, crosses a few short viewpoints, then turns left, where after a few minutes of further walking it brings us to a forest road.
We continue in the direction of Raduha and proceed along a gentle and increasingly worse forest road. We continue along the road for quite some time, then it brings us to Knezova planina or Planina Bela peč.
From the junction at Knezova planina we continue left in the direction of Koča na Travniku, Komna and Dom na Smrekovcu (right Raduha) along a path that begins to ascend moderately through initially sparse forest. The occasionally less beaten path continues to ascend moderately for some time, then brings us to a completely overgrown slope, from which a nice view opens onto Peca and Golica. Above the overgrown but scenic slope, the path returns to the forest and semicircularly bypasses Presečnikov vrh. Further on, we temporarily return to the ridge, where the path, surrounded by numerous blueberry bushes, gradually begins to descend. Further, the well-followable but often quite dewy path in the morning and forenoon brings us after some time to a smaller wooden fence, behind which we step onto a relatively new tractor track. We continue along the mentioned track briefly, then, when it turns slightly downhill, we go straight on along a pleasant forest path, which after the pasture fence widens into an old cart track. The path ahead leads us past a smaller stream (there is also a water trough by the path), after which we soon step out of the forest onto the extensive pasture areas of Planina Široka trata.
When we step out of the forest we continue right (left Travnik, straight Komna) and in a minute of further walking descend to the mountain hut Koča na Travniku.
