Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Mozirje, then continue driving towards Logarska dolina. On the main road we drive to the settlement Strmec, where immediately after Bar Bife we turn right onto a side road marked for Koča na Loki and Snežna jama. We gradually begin a steeper ascent and at all intersections follow the signs for Snežna jama and Koča na Loki. After approximately 16 km we reach the parking area at the junction for the path to Koča na Loki and park.
b) From the direction of Gorenjska we drive towards Črnivec pass, but before the pass turn left towards Kranjski Rak or Volovljek pass. After Volovljek pass we descend towards Luče, then in Luče turn right towards Mozirje. The road leads through Raduha and then to Strmec, where before Bar Bife we turn left onto the road marked for Koča na Loki and Snežna jama. We gradually begin a steeper ascent and at all intersections follow the signs for Snežna jama and Koča na Loki. After approximately 16 km we reach the parking area at the junction for the path to Koča na Loki and park.
Route description:
At the parking lot, the signs for Koča na Loki under Raduha direct us onto a poorer forest road, which is closed to public traffic and ascends through a belt of forest past a barrier to the lower part of Planina Loka. This is followed by an ascent across the mountain pasture, where we walk along a fairly steep gravel road, which we follow all the way to the mountain hut.
From Koča na Loki, where the junction of several marked trails is indicated, we head onto a well-trodden path towards Velika Raduha, Durce and Koča na Grohotu; immediately after the hut on Loka we notice a new junction.
We choose the slightly left path, marked for Raduha (slightly to the right lead the paths to Durce and Koča na Grohotu), and bypass the chapel of St. Cross on the right side. The path initially ascends gently along the left (western) edge of the small valley, then turns left and steeply ascends through a belt of sparse forest. Higher up it quickly levels out and leads us across a few short meadows into a belt of dwarf pine, through which it continues to ascend moderately to occasionally steeply.
Higher up, at around 1950 metres above sea level, we reach the marked junction below Mala Raduha. Here a path joins from the right leading across Durce, but we turn left and continue following the signs for Raduha.
This is followed by an easy traverse ascent to the left, where the path leads us along the slopes of Mala Raduha. When the traverse ends, we reach the main ridge of Raduha, from where an exceptional view opens to the north. After a few short ascents and descents we reach the marked junction, where a very demanding climbing route from the direction of Koča na Grohotu joins from the right.
We continue straight towards the highest peak of Raduha and begin to ascend more steeply again, then in a few minutes of increasingly scenic walking we reach the extremely popular and scenic summit.

Starting point - Koča na Loki 0:15, Koča na Loki - junction below Mala Raduha 1:15, junction below Mala Raduha - junction below Velika Raduha 0:20, junction below Velika Raduha - Velika Raduha 0:05.

Definitely first to the top of Raduha and then visit Snežna jama, which I think takes about an hour and a bit.

Loka -Durce descent to Grohat, from there to Raduha on the more demanding one. Down via Arto and to S. jama is a full day.velik nasmeh

Has anyone been to Raduha this weekend - from Loka or from the other side? How much snow, how are the paths? Are the huts open?
seinfeld12. 11. 2015
I took this path to the summit today. Dreamy weather, no wind or clouds, at the top, just in the company of ptarmigans, I sat in my shirt. I extended via Durce to Lanež and back towards Loka. 8km hike, in under three hours.
Hribolazec8126. 01. 2016
How is it now on this path to Raduha, snow or bare ground?

On Saturday on Raduha, up past Snežna jama, down past the hut on Loka. Road to parking below the hut is passable, on the path past Snežna jama there is snow, but due to warm weather it was soft, towards the top and on the top a thin blanket of snow, down towards the hut a bit more frozen snow, lower down mud.
Kidrock26. 02. 2016
Does anyone know what the path to Raduha is like? Can you drive to Loka? Thanks
drdivx16. 03. 2016
The safest is to Radušnik.
Due to wind the conditions change from hour to hour. In places the trodden path is visible, in places the wind covers it up immediately.
I recommend winter gear, because it's better to carry 2kg more and not use it, than not to have it.

This Saturday there should be the traditional hike to Raduha, so I think the hut will be open, call there and get first-hand information.
LP!

Nice greetings. Does anyone know how the current road to Loka is, and of course the path to the summit of Raduha. Thanks.

Snow snow snow. But it will melt after the holidays. Emphasis on after the holidays.velik nasmeh

The path from the hut to Raduha is a bit steep, but a nice path. The stamp is now attached to a metal chain. At the hut very friendly keepers and very tidy surroundings. The road to Raduha is ok, although it is gravel.
anazala27. 10. 2017
How is the road to Loka, does anyone know? Is it passable? Is everything okay? Is the hut open?

Was at Loka on 21.10. road in fairly good condition.

Does anyone know how the access road to Planina Loka is and then how the path ahead is? thanks

Apparently it's plowed up to where the path to Javor branches off.

We were up there two weeks ago. Green and nice :-) I recommend the blueberry strudel in the hut at Loka. Best

The local sign is no longer Struge but Strmec.
Valkuk7. 08. 2020
Hello, since my son and I are heading to Raduha from this direction soon, I'm interested if it's best to park before the gravel road starts, how much walking there is then to the hut and if the markers to the hut are frequent enough and if you would recommend any other access starting point
geppo7. 08. 2020
If it's your first time, just drive to the sign under Loka. From there you have about 15 minutes walk to the hut and then in the heat about 2 hours to the top. The path is quite unpleasant for me in this time of year, in winter I tackle it from this end.
You can also choose to park where the asphalt ends and then walk some more to the hut. Marked and you shouldn't have difficulties. You can also choose from Radušnik. You also have the option to drive to Planina Vodole, park at that well-known junction and via planina Javorje.
Choose the most suitable for you two, there are quite a few options.

Hello,

has anyone been to Raduha via this path in these recent days? I'm interested if the path is safe given the recent snow conditions.

Sorry if I don't represent everything perfectly, but there are quite a few of us from the neighboring country who also love Slovenia and Slovenian mountains, we just might not get every word right, that's why I asked. nasmeh

There's not much to "represent".
There's quite a bit of snow and it sinks in properly, sometimes up to the knees.mežikanje
That's how it is in the mountains at this time.nasmeh

I also have one question: is the road to P under Koča na Loki already drivable? And don't tell me if I don't get it. If someone doesn't want to share information, they shouldn't vent in another way.
lijaneja23. 04. 2022 18:54:09
Feliks, nobody will respond to you when you're so harsh.nasmeh
I was up there a few weeks ago during the hike to Raduha and there was so little of it that it's surely gone by now.
skalar5026. 04. 2022 00:20:33
when one sifts through some of the above statements ...

my god alias world simplicity ...
arrogance and conceit of individuals who obviously (continuously) take the liberty of lecturing others ...

if those who "consider" themselves regular (semi)professional hill walkers don't deem it worth writing even a basic answer then in your omniscience better write nothing ...

if someone asks something friendly - yes even a question where the answer is obvious to regular hikers - they expect an equally friendly reply ... especially if Slovenian isn't their native language ...

immediate "barking" surely isn't the point of this forum ... at least it wasn't years ago

wish everyone safe steps!
dprapr26. 04. 2022 17:08:13
I don't see any arrogance or conceit up there. Just one strange question.nasmeh

Hello,

on Sunday I plan to go to Raduha for the first time. If someone has been recently, has the snow melted on this trail already? What are the conditions?
Hribolazec8127. 05. 2023 17:23:38
I love mountains, see you tomorrow up there👌
Apparently it's normally trodden from Loka, crampons in the backpack just in case 😄
LjubimHribe29. 05. 2023 10:24:42
Yesterday I was on Raduha and the path is normally trodden (as Hribolazec81 wrote), there's just a little snow left, but crampons are not needed even in the backpack nasmeh

How is the road-macadam to this parking lot. Passable for a passenger car?
Klinar279. 05. 2024 00:09:36
Not the most beautiful, but you can get there with a lower car too nasmeh
michael6625. 07. 2024 17:54:33
Did the recent storms damage the path to the parking lot below pl. Loka?
jax25. 07. 2024 22:11:29
The hut keeper reported on FB that apparently not.
Matjaž592. 11. 2024 09:10:25
Yesterday I was on Raduha, the road to the parking lot at Loka is normally drivable. I have a low car (Audi A3), and it went without issues. But you need to adjust speed, both on the asphalt part and on the gravel. On gravel it shakes a bit here and there, that's all. On very rare spots the gravel road is a bit muddy. Weather was ideal, few hikers, no crowds at the top. Super!
xtrinch26. 06. 2025 10:13:34
Park below hut at Loka, road there macadam many call desperate but normally drivable. Path from hut to Raduha summit super and safe.
ljubitelj gora16. 07. 2025 20:35:05
The road is good, they are also fixing it.

Hello,
what is the condition of the road? And the hiking trail?

Thanks for the info!
drago4021. 06. 2026 12:49:20
The road and path are in very good condition, I was up there just on 18.6.
