Its lower peaks are Jelovec, Lanež, and Little Raduha, and the highest peak is Big Raduha. The Loka Lodge stands east of the summit. The highest-elevation show cave in Slovenia, Snow Cave, 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.
