Stage 5 | Route description

From Grohot first head towards Velika Raduha. Turn left at the first junction of paths after the mountain hut of the Mountain Rescue Service (GRS) and head in an easterly direction traversing a rocky gravel pit across the Durce saddle to the next junction of paths. Keep to the right and continue in a southerly direction towards the summit of Velika Raduha to the next junction of paths, where we turn left (continue to the right if we want to reach the summit). After an hour of walking we reach the Loka mountain pasture – home to the Koča na Loki pod Raduho mountain hut. From the hut take the path that leads past karst hollows and the steep Snežnica abyss – where snow stays over the whole summer – then across the Loka pasture past the Javorje and Vodol pastures, where the path begins to ascend through the larch and fir forest. After an hour we reach the Bela peč saddle, where we go right. After 2 hours we will reach the Koča na Travniku mountain hut. From the hut continue to the Hlipovec saddle, to the foothills of Komen. There is a way marker at the chapel that points towards the Dom na Smrekovcu mountain hut. The path then leads to the saddle between Komen and Krnes. After walking for 30 minutes we reach a junction of paths where the path to the left leads to the top of Smrekovec and to the right to the Dom na Smrekovcu mountain hut. From the top of Smrekovec it takes us approx. 20 mins tothe Dom na Smrekovcu mountain hut.
