Loka Lodge at Raduha

Loka Lodge at Raduha, known in Slovene as Koča na Loki pod Raduho, is a mountain hostel situated on the Loka Plateau in northern Slovenia. The lodge stands at approximately 1,534 metres above sea level and serves hikers travelling through the Raduha mountain area. Its setting places it within a highland landscape associated with alpine walking routes, mountain pastures and access to nearby peaks, including Big Mount Raduha. The lodge is primarily a seasonal accommodation and refreshment point rather than a broad commercial hospitality brand. According to the available reference material, it generally opens at the beginning of June and closes at the end of August, reflecting the operating conditions of a high-elevation mountain facility. Its practical role is to support walkers undertaking day hikes or longer routes in the surrounding terrain, offering a destination and stopping point in an area where conventional accommodation is limited. Several approaches are identified for reaching the lodge. The shortest listed route begins at Vodol Pasture and takes about one hour. Other access routes include a roughly three-hour walk from the village of Luče, approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from Radušnik Farm, and about three hours and fifteen minutes from the village of Bistra. The lodge is also located close to Big Mount Raduha, which is listed as around one hour and forty-five minutes away on foot. Loka Lodge at Raduha is associated with Slovenia’s mountain-hiking culture and with the wider network of alpine huts and hostels that provide basic services to visitors in remote areas. It is referenced in connection with the Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail and with route descriptions for the Julius Kugy Trail of Three Countries. Publicly available information does not establish a founding date, ownership structure, management team, financial profile or independent corporate organization. Its identity is therefore best understood as that of a named mountain lodge and visitor facility, with a local and seasonal operating profile.
