Grant - Rodica

Access to starting point:
From Podbrdo we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa, but only to the village Koritnica. In Koritnica we will notice a sign for village Rut, which points us right (from Tolmin sharply left). Mostly ascending road we then follow to the mentioned village, where there is also a smaller crossroad. We continue left towards the village Grant, to which we get to after approximately 1 km of additional driving. In the village there aren't any settled parking spots, therefore we park on an appropriate place somewhere nearby.

Path description:
At the end of the village Grant we look for further marked path, which ahead runs on a rough road or cart track. Further follows some crossings, where we follow otherwise rare blazes, and we quickly ascend above the village. Higher, we also leave nearby pasture, and then we ascend to a wider macadam road which we cross, and we continue the ascent through the forest. Quite steep path, by which further, the blazes are more frequent, and higher crosses another forest road. Above the road, the path turns slightly to the left and then it starts ascending quite steeply. Higher, the steepness decreases a little and then we join a wider cart track which we follow to the left and then we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Rodica (straight mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and the path Geološka pot).
Behind the crossing named Mladinska koča we start ascending on a nicely preserved mule track, which after few minutes turns sharply to the left, after that is for quite some time ascending diagonally towards the left, at first still through the forest and then through dwarf pines. During the diagonal ascent path leads also through some gullies, and passages through them aren't difficult, because the path is wide all the time. With nice views on Idrija and Cerkljansko hribovje, at right zig zag we get very close to the summit Jehlc, which all the time during the crossing we see in front of us. At this zig zag in the direction of straight continues pathless approach on the mentioned peak (last part before the ridge is demanding), and we continue on a marked path which still continues on a mule track. Two zig-zags higher also easier approach on the before mentioned peak branches off to the left, and we are still ascending through dwarf pines. A little higher we reach the ridge, which runs from Jehlc to the main ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, and the path several times avoids it, once on left, next time again on the right side. Higher dwarf pines are replaced by grass and stones, and with every step nicer views are opening up. Next follows few hairpin turns, where we ascend through a steeper slope, after that slope flattens and the path brings us to a marked crossing, where we join the path from Bohinj side.
Here we continue right (left Šija, Ski hotel Vogel and Ribčev Laz) and on a moderately steep ridge in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we ascend on 1966 meters high peak Rodica.
