Ribčev Laz - Rodica (via Čez Suho)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenica take the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica and later Ribčevo Lazo. At the crossroads near Bohinjsko jezero turn left towards the Bellevue Hotel, and follow the road for another 100 metres, or until you reach a large marked parking lot. The parking lot is payable at a rate of 1€/h (July 2011).
You can also park in the free parking lot at the beginning of Ribčev Laz, which will take about 10 minutes longer.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the asphalted road in the direction of the Bellevue Hotel, from which the marked path to Rodica soon branches off to the left. Continue in the direction mentioned above (straight ahead to the Bellevue Hotel and Vogel) and continue along the worse forest road, which soon turns left over a bridge. Just before the road crosses the bridge over the torrent stream, it turns off to the right (straight ahead) and cart track, which continues along the torrent. The gently sloping path leads on past a few huts, crosses a stream behind them, along which we continue for a short time, and then turns slightly to the left, where we reach the end of a nearby forest road.
From the end of the road, continue in the direction mountain pasture Suha and start climbing up the steep mountain path. After a few minutes, the path lays down and leads to a wooded ridge, along which we continue to the nearby old cart track. Once on cart track, the path starts to climb again a little steeper, then turns slightly to the right and gradually lays down. Continue across the view slope and return to the woods through lane of bushes. Higher up, cross various forest roads a few times, or walk along them for a short distance. In the last part of the walk along the road we reach a crossroads where the road to mountain pasture Storeča raven turns off to the right, and we continue straight on and follow the road for about 50 m, or until the point where the road turns left and crosses a torrential stream.
From here (the Javorje area), which can also be reached by car, we follow the marked mountain path in the direction of mountain pasture Suha.
The way forward first climbs along the torrent, then turns to the right, where for a short time it climbs steeply through the forest. 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. Follow mountain pasture past the shepherd's hut along the torrential gravel deposit. 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.
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 straight on the marked path, which climbs between dwarf pines and sparse trees. Higher up, the trees run out and the path reaches a sink below the saddle Čez Suho. The path goes around it on the left and soon afterwards leads to a crossroads at the saddle Čez Suho. There is an old military bunker with signposts on it,. . . From the bunker we continue to the left (Vogel and Šija on the right) and follow the path along the scenic grassy ridge, from which we have beautiful views of the central Julian Mountains on the left and the peaks above Baško Grapa on the right. After a few short ascents and descents from the Čez Suho saddle, we arrive at a marked crossroads, where the marked path from Ruta joins us on the right. Continue in the direction Rodica and after 10 minutes of moderate ascent along an increasingly scenic ridge reach the top of which stands a registration box and a viewing platform.
