After many years I finally went again on Raduha. And I'd have a few suggestions:
1. I would put the chapter of Snezna jama as a separate chapter, not just 'Miscellaneous Info' chapter. I found it a real attraction, which deserves some more description and stress. The shortest approach is by the road, which passes Koca na Loki, and then from the parking place 10min uphills.
2. Your times for the two ascents from Grohat are quite short. I know, they are the same in Ficko's guide book. But on the other hand, at Grohat hut the inscription for the route over Durce says 1h 45min and for the direct route over the N face 1h 30min. As from the hut you have 600m to the top, and also by the direct route you don't go only directly up, I think 1h 45min and 1h 30min are good estimates for an average mountaineer. We were late and were walking fast, but still needed 1h 30min from Bukovnik farm.
3. Snezna jama (Snow Cave) is not only a few minutes away from Koca na Loki. It's a 30min comfortable walk.
Hi, Vid. Soory to say. Only today (already year 2007)I noticed you remark.
And honestly said, I was many times on Raduha, but never in Snezna jama. So, I will use your recommendations
I considered your remarks, even it took me less time. But we went quite fast. An average time is as you mentioned.
Thanks and sorry again for last response.
p.s. I must visit Snezna jama once. :-(

Perhaps I'll remember something more. Cheers!
