Rutarski gozd - 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 straight (left village Grunt) on the road which soon loses an asphalt covering. Wide macadam road quickly ascends above the village and turns right. Follow three zig-zags, at third or second left from the right joins also the marked path from Stržišče, and from here ahead we need to pay attention to possible parking by the road, because driving from the next crossroad ahead is forbidden.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road, and then we quickly get to an unmarked crossroad, where we continue on the upper right road, by which there is a gate and a traffic sign, that prohibits further driving. Further, we are steeply ascending and worse road slowly changes into a wide mostly rocky cart track which past a hunting observatory soon brings us to a crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Rodica (straight mountain pasture Razor). Further, we are ascending on a relatively well-preserved mule track at first through the forest and then through dwarf pines. Moderately steep and more and more scenic path, then crosses some gullies and is getting closer to the summit (Jehlc), which for some time we already see in front of us. When the path already gets very close mentioned summit it turns right and then it is ascending on the southern slopes of Rodica. Higher, the path again goes towards the west and brings us on a side ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, from where a nice view opens up towards Kneške Ravne. The path from the ridge soon withdraws on the south slopes, which we then follow to the spot, where we join the path from Bohinj side. We continue right on a panoramic ridge path, which in good 10 minutes of additional walking brings us on a panoramic peak.
