Access to starting point:
A) From the road Bled - Bohinjska Bistrica, in the settlement Bitnje we drive sharply right (from the direction of Bohinj slightly left) in the direction of Pokljuka, Srednja vas and Jereka. Next follows a steep ascent, and when the road flattens from the crossroad we continue straight in the direction of Stara Fužina and Srednja vas (right Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka). A little further, we already get to Bohinjska Češnjica, and we follow the main road to Srednja vas, where we turn left in the direction of the ski lift. We follow the signs for the ski lift to a larger parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Senožeta. In the summer season, the parking lot is payable.
B) We drive to Stara Fužina, and then we continue driving towards Srednja vas. In Srednja vas we turn right in the direction of the ski lift. We follow the signs for the ski lift to a larger parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Senožeta. In the summer season, the parking lot is payable.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path towards Bohinjska Češnjica and we walk on an asphalt road, where there leads a route of the cycling path Bohinj. After few minutes, we get to a marked crossroad, where we go right towards Brod (if we continue straight we get to Bohinjska Češnjica).
From the crossroad ahead, the road starts ascending, and the asphalt quickly ends. The macadam path gradually gets closer to the route of the ski slope, where it turns left, and higher it gradually flattens and turns towards the south. Next follows a short descent to a crossroad, where we go right (left downwards we descend to Brod), and then mainly in a gentle ascent, we walk through an ample meadow, where we walk mostly towards the west, and in front of us, we already clearly see Rudnica. When the cart track brings us on a smaller saddle between Rudnica on the left and Kazanca on the right (peak with the hunting observatory), we go left and we start ascending by the fence, where we follow a worse footpath. Higher, when we leave the meadow and the path passes into the forest, the footpath becomes more distinct, and a little ahead also very steep. Next follows a steep ascent on the slope, where there are several fallen trees, but woth the passages there aren't any bigger problems, because the footpath mostly nicely bypasses them. Steep path, by which we can also notice older blazes higher brings us into more plateau terrain, where we join a better beaten path from Brod.
Here we continue right and by the edge of the precipice, we continue (the path is from the edge a little distant, so that there is no significant danger of slipping). This panoramic path we then follow to the nearby peak Rudnica, where there is a bench and few steps ahead also an inscription box.
