Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east and we follow the road ahead in the direction of "Zgornje Jezersko". Only few 100 meters ahead from inn Kanonir, we will on the left side of the main road notice signposts for Stegovnik, which point us on a steep macadam road. This ascending road, we then follow past the farm Rezman to the beginning of the footpath on Stegovnik. We can park already a little lower on one of the parking lots by the road which is maybe even better.
Path description:
If we've parked a little below the farm Rezman, we continue on the road further and to the farm it won't be far.
Above the farm Rezman, signposts for Stegovnik point us to the right on a wide ascending cart track which we then follow past transmitters to a marked crossing. We continue right in the direction of Stegovnik on a little narrower cart track which is further ascending diagonally on northeastern slopes of Bukovec. Higher, the path flattens, and then in a gentle descent brings us to a smaller abandoned mountain pasture, by the edge of which there is a hunting cottage.
From the hunting cottage, we continue on a marked path, which after the mountain pasture turns slightly to the left and then starts ascending towards the saddle Močnikovo sedlo, which we reach after 15 minutes of additional ascent.
Few steps below the saddle, to the right steeply downwards (towards the north) an overgrown cart track descends, which we follow to a crossroad, where a little better cart track turns right steeply downwards, and our even worse continues horizontally over the slopes. It suddenly ends, and at the very end of it, towards Spodnji Ruš continues a worse but eventually clearly visible footpath which through the spruce forest slightly upwards over the slopes brings us on northeastern ridge of Ruš. Here our footpath goes steeply downwards, and we go right towards the southwest on northeastern ridge of Ruš. At the beginning, we maybe can still notice an extremely poorly footpath which quickly vanishes. At the beginning, the terrain is easy walkable and forested, and eventually also increasingly rocky and harder passable. The ridge is getting more and more narrow, on the right the precipices show up, and the terrain is still forested or larches are prevailing, there is also some of the grass. The terrain is in some parts also scenic, partly panoramic but also demanding. When it is too hard on the ridge we withdraw to the left, into steep forested pathless terrain. Eventually, the ridge becomes easier passable and it flattens. When we step on a smaller meadow and we notice a partly grassy peak, we are right below the summit.
