Raduha (pronounced [ˈɾaːduxa]) is a mountain in the eastern part of Kamnik–Savinja Alps in northern Slovenia.
Geography[edit]
It is separated from its main group by the Savinja Gorge. It has relatively flat top in the northeast–southwest direction. Its lower peaks are Jelovec (1,845 metres or 6,053 feet), Lanež (1,925 m or 6,316 ft), and Little Raduha (Mala Raduha, 2,029 m or 6,657 ft), and the highest peak is Big Raduha (Velika Raduha, 2,062 m or 6,765 ft). The Loka Lodge (Slovene: Koča na Loki; 1,534 m or 5,033 ft) stands east of the summit. The highest-elevation show cave in Slovenia, Snow Cave (Slovene: Snežna jama), lies on the western side. The western and northern parts are rocky. It is the site of the Grohat mountain pasture with the Grohat Lodge (Slovene: Koča na Grohatu pod Raduho, 1,460 m or 4,790 ft).
Name[edit]
Raduha was attested in written sources in 1426 as Radoch. It is based on the hypocorism Radoh, derived from a Slavic personal name such as *Radoslavъ.[1]
