Račka vrata

Description of mountain:
Račka Vrata is situated in the southwestern wall of Velika Raduha, which rises steeply east of Robanov Kot. It is named after the Račnik farm located below it. It ranks among the largest natural arches in Slovenia. It is 30 meters wide and 25 meters high. The breccia rock gives it a characteristic reddish color on the western side. Due to this composition, the arch is very crumbly. Despite its size, it is very hard to find. Only an unmarked hunting trail leads through it, and there are many such trails on Raduha. In winter, huge icicles form on the arch. The arch is passable, though the lower part is quite difficult to climb while the upper half is easier. The view from the arch itself is rather modest. From the ledge above it, however, a magnificent panorama unfolds, including Sveti Duh above Solčava, Ojstrc in Austria, Storžič, Strelovec, Krofička, Ojstrica, Robanov Kot, Veliki Vrh, Veliki Rogatec, Menina Planina, and the mighty wall of Raduha towering above.
