Javorje - Suha Rodica (Novi vrh) (via Lepa Suha)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and on to Bohinjska Bistrica and Lake Bohinj. After Laški Rovt you will reach a small crossroads where the road to the left branches off and leads to the starting points of the route to Rodica, mountain pasture Suho, Šijo, Vogel. . . and the Laški Rovt camping area. The dirt road immediately turns into a forest and first climbs past the above-mentioned camping area and then climbs relatively steeply for a few kilometres. After a little less than 6,5 km of macadam, you will reach a slightly larger crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards mountain pasture Storeča raven (the starting point of the route to Vogel). Continue straight on here and after about 50 m of further driving you will reach a left turn where the starting point of the route towards mountain pasture Suha. Park in a suitable place on the roadside.

Path description:
From the starting point continue along the marked mountain path in the route mountain pasture Suha. The trail first climbs along a torrent, then turns to the right, where it climbs gently through the forest for a short distance. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path turns left and begins to climb steeply over a steep slope. During the steep ascent, a beautiful view to the north opens up briefly, and then the path lays down again. A few minutes of steep walking follows, and then the markings direct us slightly left on the path, which starts to climb a little steeper, crossing the slopes to the right. At a higher level, cross the torrent once more, then climb along it to the lower edge of the mountain pasture Suha, where you also emerge from the woods. From here there is only a short moderate climb and the path leads to the central part of mountain pasture, where there are a few shepherds' huts.
From mountain pasture, continue past a shepherd's hut along a deposit of torrential gravel. The path, which is sometimes very faint, turns slightly left at the top of mountain pasture. Further on, the path, which begins to turn slightly to the right, is much easier to follow. After a short climb, pass a hunting lodge, which can be seen on the right-hand side.
The path then begins to climb steeply up the slope, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. This increasingly scenic route, however, leads us higher up to the slightly larger cairn, where there is a crossroads (straight marked path to the Čez Suho saddle, left unmarked path over Lepo Suho).
Continue left along the initially less visible path, which crosses briefly to the left and then begins to climb moderately over increasingly scenic slopes. The path then crosses a few small valleys, then turns to steep slopes, which continue in the same direction. The slope quickly flattens out and the path leads into a small but distinct valley to the west of Mala Rodica. We continue to climb steadily along a path that is less and less visible, which continues along the torrential ravine of the aforementioned valley. As we climb up the valley we can observe the vast grassy slopes of the Lepe Suha, but we follow the path, which is no longer a path, along an easier trackless track. Throughout the ascent, we follow the left "arms" of the torrent, but the increasingly steep "path" leads us to a grassy ridge, where we approach the marked path. Here, continue left and follow the well-traced but unmarked path up to an unmarked pass between Mala Rodica on the left and Rodica on the right. Continue right here and after 5 minutes of further ascent along an increasingly exposed ridge, you reach the summit. From the top of Rodica continue along the ridge towards Črna prsti. The trail first starts descending along the ridge, then moves to the southern slopes, where it crosses sometimes quite steep slopes just a few metres below the ridge. The very scenic path, at the foot of the Dry Rodica, passes onto the slopes of the summit, where it crosses the slopes of the aforementioned peak (snowfield, which is retained until the beginning of summer). In this part, where the path runs along the north side, you will notice some mountain signs on the rock (forward Črna prst, back Rodica). Just a few steps further from this sign, leave the marked path and turn right into the steep pathless world. After 10 minutes of steep climbing on rocky terrain, you reach the top of Suhe Rodica.
