As per title. I've noticed du and find commands can never finish but directory structure is very complex to search for loops etc by hand. I suspect there is one wrongly placed symlink there. Is there a tool to help find the source of problem?

TLDR: find -L -type l /start/here will report broken links in GNU/Linux
From 'info find' in Linux:
‘-type’ reports the types of the files that symbolic links point to. This means that in combination with ‘-L’, ‘-type l’ will be true only for broken symbolic links.’
