Planina Loka - Lanež (eastern way)

Access to starting point:
From Mozirje we drive towards the Logarska dolina valley, but only to the village Strmec (village between Ljubno and Luče), where signs for the Snežna jama cave on Raduha point us to the right on a narrower ascending road. We follow the mentioned road, which has a few crossroads, in the direction of Snežna jama and mountain hut Koča na Loki (crossroads are well marked). After 16 km (of which 9 km macadam) of driving from the spot when we left the main road, we come to the starting point, where we park near the smaller crossroad (by the crossroad there are signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki).

Path description:
By the parking lot we notice hiking signposts for mountain hut Koča na Loki and Raduha, which point us on a rough forest road which ascends through a strip of forest. Already after a few dozen steps of walking, we step out of the forest on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Loka. We continue the ascent on a relatively steep road, on which in a few minutes we ascend to the hut Koča na Loki.
From the mountain hut, we continue slightly right on a marked path in the direction of saddle Durce (slightly left Raduha, right Smrekovec and Travnik). Further, at first we gently ascend on the right side of the gully (on the left side of the gully runs the path to Raduha) on the path that gradually starts to ascend steeper. After approximately 10 minutes of walking from the mountain hut, the path brings us to a less noticeable junction, where we continue sharply right on a poorly visible path (straight Durce). After a few steps of additional walking, we will notice hiking signposts on a tree with signs Lanež and Durce via Lanež, which point us to the left upwards on a steep, marked pathless terrain (in fog, the orientation is extremely difficult). After a few minutes of ascent over a steep grassy slope, the "path" brings us to a grazing fence, where we continue left. Only a few steps ahead, a marked path crosses the mentioned fence and then turns a little towards the left (here the footpath is already better visible).
We continue the ascent on a scenic path, which past a watering place for animals brings us into a smaller valley between Lanež and Jelovec. A moderately steep path, which ahead runs through a pleasant small valley, soon brings us to an indistinct saddle between the aforementioned peaks.
The marked path here turns to the left and starts ascending steeper on the eastern slopes of Lanež. Only a little higher we step on a panoramic ridge, where the path ascends even steeper. After a few minutes of ascent the steepness decreases and an increasingly panoramic path quickly brings us to the spacious summit of Lanež.
Starting point - Koča na Loki 0:15, Koča na Loki - Lanež 1:10.
