Path description:
From the center of Podbrdo we continue by the main road towards Tolmin. The road at first leads under the railway, and then it brings us to a crossroad, where the road towards the village Porezen branches off to the left, and right towards Bača pri Podbrdu. From here we continue on the main road only few 10 meters and then signs for village Trtnik and Črna prst point us on a narrower and ascending road. A little narrower road which is ascending west from Podbrdo, we follow all the way to the village Trtnik, which we reach after approximately 20 minutes of walking.
In Trtnik signs for Črna prst point us straight upwards on a marked footpath which at first leads on stairs of the nearby residential house, and then passes on a grassy slope, where it is steeply ascending by the orchard. The path higher passes into the forest and gradually flattens. The path continues through the forest and soon joins partly stone cart track which we follow to the right. On the cart track, we are further ascending diagonally towards the right, and it occasionally leads over steeper slopes. Since the path is wide enough steepness of the slope doesn't cause bigger problems, we have to be careful mainly on one spot, where there is usually a lot of leaves and the path is because of this quite slippery. Higher, we cross a little bigger gully, after that cart track brings us to a forest road, on which in few minutes we ascend to the nearby saddle Sedlo, where there is a marked crossing.
From Sedlo, from where joins the path from the village Kal and the path from Kocenpohar, we continue straight on a cart track which we follow only a short time because blazes then point us left on a footpath which starts ascending steeper and steeper through the forest. Higher, the footpath for some time flattens a little and then it brings us to a viewpoint with a bench. A little after the bench footpath splits into two parts (better beaten is right path), and after approximately 15 minutes they again join. Only a little above junction of both path, we get to the next bench, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Kobla and peaks above Soriška planina.
From the bench for a short time, we continue through the forest and then the path passes on the more and more panoramic grassy slopes. When we step out of the forest, the path slowly starts turning a little towards the right, and then turns left and it ascends diagonally to a saddle Čez Suho, where joins the path from Bohinj side.
On the mentioned saddle we leave the marked path and continue right on an unmarked footpath which ascends on the ridge of Rušni vrh. The steepness quickly decreases and a more panoramic path after 5 minutes of walking from the spot, when we left blazes brings us on a little visited peak.
On the way: Trtnik (656m), Sedlo (985m), Čez Suho (1760m)
