Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica and lake Bohinj. After the settlement Laški Rovt we will get to a smaller crossroad, where the road which leads towards the starting point of the path on Rodica, mountain pasture Suha, Šija, Vogel... and scout camp Laški Rovt branches off to the left. Macadam road immediately passes into the forest and at first ascend past the mentioned scout camp, and then it is few kilometers relatively steeply ascending. After a little less than 6.5 km of driving on a macadam, we will get to a little bigger crossroad, where a road towards the mountain pasture Planina Storeča raven (starting point of the path on Vogel) branches off to the right. Here we continue straight and after approximately 50 meters of additional driving, we get to the left turn, where there is a starting point of the path towards the mountain pasture Suha, Rodica and Šija. From here for approximately 1 km we continue on the road which leads towards the ski slope Kobla, and then at the crossroad we continue on the upper right road, on which we drive for approximately 1800 meters, or to the spot, where on the right we notice a smaller cairn and beginning of the hunting path towards the mountain pasture Poljana (beginning of the path is located about 200 meters before the end of the road). We can park a little earlier on an appropriate place by the road.
From the main road to the starting point, there is approximately 9.3 km of the macadam.
Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked at first we walk to a smaller cairn, where it starts hunting footpath which leads towards the mountain pasture Poljana. Immediately, when we leave the road path goes into the forest and turns to the left. The path ahead is moderately ascending through the forest, and in doing so mostly crosses slopes towards the left. Higher, the path for some time flattens, and then it ascends steeper through a thin lane of bushes, from where a beautiful view opens up towards the north and northeast. Above the steep part, the path flattens and turns a little to the right, where it starts descending towards the spot, where joins the path past the hunting cottage. Here we continue straight and in 2 minutes of a light ascent, we get to the mountain pasture Poljana.
