Rezman - Ruš (on southwest ridge)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road in the route "Zgornje Jezersko". Only a few 100 m further from the Kanonir Inn, you will notice direction signs for Stegovnik on the left side of the main road, directing you to a steep dirt road. Follow this ascending road past the Rezman farm to the start of the footpath to Stegovnik.
You can park a little lower down in one of the car parks along the road (there are no suitable parking spaces at the start of the footpath).

Path description:
Above the Rezman farm, the mountain signs for Stegovnik direct us right to the wide ascending cart track, which we then follow past the transmitters to a marked crossroads. Continue right towards Stegovnik on the slightly narrower cart track, which continues to climb transversely on the north-eastern slopes of Bukovec. Higher up, the path is laid and then leads in a gentle descent to a small abandoned mountain pasture, at the edge of which is a hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, follow the waymarked trail, which turns slightly to the left after mountain pasture and then begins to climb towards Močnikovo sedlo, which is reached after 15 minutes of further ascent. Here, the signs point slightly to the right, where, after a few steps of further walking, you reach a marked crossroads.
Continue in the direction of Stegovnik (sharp left Bukovec, straight down Kanonir) along the path which, after a few steps of easy descent, joins the gently ascending cart track, which is then followed to a point where signs direct you to the right onto a footpath which climbs parallel to the track. The path then approaches a torrential stream, where it turns right and climbs steeply up its right-hand side (left bank). Higher up, the path crosses the stream and then completely descends. A few minutes of easy walking through dense forest follows, and then the path leads to a saddle called Pri lojtri, where the next marked crossroads are also located.
Here we continue sharp right in the direction of Brsnina (left Javornik, straight Stegovnik) along the marked path, which first climbs moderately through dense forest, then lays down and leads us to a cart track, which the marked path just crosses, and we follow it to the right. Follow cart track first to a small lookout pass, and from there continue slightly left, along a fainter track to the nearby south-west ridge of Rus. The ascent continues along a fainter, but well-traced, track which continues along and along the aforementioned ridge. Higher up, the path climbs over a short, very steep slope, where there is a possibility of slipping, especially in wet conditions. At the top of this steep section, you reach the summit, from which you descend for a short distance and then climb to the main summit of Ruša.
