Planina Vodol - Mala Raduha

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana–Maribor highway, take the Šentrupert exit, then continue driving towards Mozirje, Ljubno ob Savinji and Logarska dolina. From Ljubno drive on the main road for approximately 6 km, then in the settlement Strmec, signs for Raduha and Snežna jama direct us right onto a narrower and at first still asphalted road. At the crossroads, follow the signs for Snežna jama cave, and we follow the road which higher up loses its asphalt covering to the mountain pasture Vodol. We park at the crossroad, where in the middle of the left bend a worse road branches off to the right, which leads to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol.
B) From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Vodice exit, then continue driving towards Kamnik. In Kamnik follow the signs for Gornji Grad and mountain pass Črnivec, but only 1 km before the mentioned mountain pass turn left towards Kranjski Rak and Podvolovljek. From Kranjski Rak (mountain pass Volovljek) start descending towards Luče, where turn right towards Mozirje. From Luče drive towards Mozirje approximately 3 km, then in the settlement Strmec, signs for Raduha and Snežna jama direct us left onto a narrower and at first still asphalted road. At the crossroads, follow the signs for Snežna jama cave, and we follow the road which higher up loses its asphalt covering to the mountain pasture Vodol. We park at the crossroad, where in the middle of the left bend a worse road branches off to the right, which leads to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol.

Path description:
From the starting point, we first walk to the upper part of the mountain pasture Vodol, where signs for Koča na Loki direct us left onto a footpath that ascends transversely along the upper edge of the mountain pasture. The path ahead enters the forest, where it then ascends transversely for quite some time. Higher we exit the forest, and the path quickly brings us to the shepherd huts on mountain pasture Javorje.
On the other side of the mountain pasture we step onto a poor forest road, along which we begin to descend more noticeably. After a short descent we notice the blazes that direct us right into the forest, through which after a few minutes of further descent we descend to Koča na Loki pod Raduho.
From the hut we continue slightly left (direction Raduha) along the path that runs along the left side of an indistinct gully. The path, which at first only gently ascends, soon turns left, where it steeply ascends for a short time through a belt of dense forest. The steepness then eases, and the forest is gradually replaced by dwarf pines and raspberry bushes. The moderately steep path ascending the southeastern slopes of Raduha then brings us higher to a marked junction, where we continue left (right Durce).
Already after a few steps from the junction, on the right side of the marked path we will notice a nice passage between the dwarf pines. Direct ourselves to the mentioned passage (unvegetated indistinct small valley) along which we ascend straight upwards. Higher the passage is blocked by dwarf pines, and we search for a partly overgrown path that continues right (direction east). The mentioned path eases the passage through the belt of dense dwarf pines and brings us below the summit of Mala Raduha. Again we search for a nice passage between the dwarf pines and after a few steps of further walking we step onto the summit of Mala Raduha.
In fog the orientation in the upper part is difficult.
