Luče is a nucleated alpine settlement at the foot of Raduha in the Zgornja Savinjska valley, at the confluence of the Savinja and the Lučnica stream. Luče is a typical alpine village, situated at 522 metres above sea level, squeezed between the confluence of the Lučnica and the Savinja, the foot of the impressive Raduha, overgrown Rogatec and the Dleskovška limestone plateau. The neighbouring settlements Konjski vrh, Krnica, Podveža, Podvolovljek, Raduha and Strmec mostly consist of remote farms on the steep hillsides. Farming is an important factor and helps mould the environment. Most farms in Luče use eco-friendly farming methods. People of the area have been living and working with nature for centuries. The region has had a long tradition of mountain walking, mountain guides and tourist farms. The preserved natural environment and cultural heritage of our ancestors are, without doubt, comparative advantages for Luče and its surroundings. Customs deriving from the forestry tradition are well preserved. The most frequently visited sight is the Snežna cave (the Snow Cave) of Raduha, which represents a unique jewel of the high-mountain karst. For years, Luče has taken pride in the title of tidiest tourist resort, which was an important recognition of the excellent cooperation between tourist workers and the local people in both organizing events (Luče Day) and decorating and keeping the local clean environment. Accommodation can be found mostly on tourist farms, but also in guesthouses, private rooms, and mountain huts. There is one campsite in the area. The renovated granaries, mills, sawmills and other examples of ethnological heritage, with the cooperation of the dedicated local people, successfully fight the ravages of time. Traditional culinary specialities from Luče and other parts of the Zgornja Savinjska valley are often on the table in people´s homes, tourist farms and restaurants.
