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.
From the shepherd hut, we continue on the right (western) edge of the mountain pasture, but only to a spot, where slightly to the right footpath branches off, which goes into dwarf pine. Well visible footpath then steeply ascends and after approximately 15 minutes of ascent brings us on a poorly visible crossing.
We continue left on much worse footpath which is still relatively easy to follow. From the footpath which is getting worse soon opens a passage towards a hollow, which on the other side ends with scree. After a short descent over high grass, which are surrounded by dwarf pine (passages are nice) we step by the foot of not very nice scree. But "path" on Raskovec will lead us on that scree (possible also right and then by the foot of Mali Raskovec, but is this "path" several times impassable because of dwarf pines), which is in the lower part full of large rocks, which are not very stable (carefully). A little higher rocks are replaced by steep grass, which quickly passes on gravel scree on which we have to ascend. Approximately 50 altitude meters before direct ascent to the summit gets interrupted by the mountain wall, to the right a nice passage opens (cairn). Next follows traversing of mostly rocky slopes, that runs by the foot of the northern wall of Raskovec. Ahead opens up nicely passable, but a little steeper passage to an indistinct small saddle between Mali and Veliki Raskovec (if below in the hollow we decided for right variant, here both paths join). From the saddle ahead, the path is orientationally easier.
From the saddle, we continue left on and by at first an indistinct ridge of Raskovec, which is with every step becoming better visible and higher already a little precipitous. This relatively steep ridge we then follow all the way to a panoramic summit.
We can descend on the southwestern ridge, which in good 5 minutes brings us to a marked path Črna prst - Rodica. If we decide for a descent over one of those two peaks in the lower part follows a walk on a macadam road to the starting point (look a map).
The starting point - Poljana 55 minutes, Poljana - Raskovec 1:30.
