Savica - Rudnica (via Široka polica)

Access to the starting point:
Drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue in the direction of Lake Bohinj. When you reach Savica, the route described above starts at the bus stop. There are no parking spaces at the starting point.

Path description:
After the bus stop, turn right onto a side road which begins to descend gently through the settlement. First you pass the chapel, then the birthplace of Štefan Rožič, one of the four men of heart who were the first to climb Triglav on 26 August 1778, and a few apartments, and then, after the next chapel, you reach the bridge over the Sava Bohinjka. After the wooden bridge, turn right and you will reach the village of Brod, where you will turn left at the crossroads in the direction of Rudnica. After the "last" house, turn right twice in the direction Rudnica. A steeper ascent follows along logging trail, and within a few minutes the ascent leads to a marked crossroads, where you continue along a slightly left path in the direction of Široka polica (slightly right direct path).
There is some more ascent through the forest, and then we arrive at a scree slope, over which we climb crosswise, and during the climb on the scree slope a beautiful view opens up. Beyond the scree, we arrive below the cliffs, where there is a possibility of falling rocks, and we continue to climb cross-climbing to the left. Higher up, the path is laid and leads to a marked crossroads, from which we continue right in the direction Rudnica (Ribčev laz and Stara Fužina on the left).
A moderate climb through the forest follows, where we climb up the Široki Polica, and a little further on, the beautiful view opens up again, and a bench awaits us along the way, where we can rest.
A little further on we arrive at the hay fields, where another path from Stara Fužina joins us from the left, and we continue to the edge of the forest, where we choose a slightly left path. A little further on, we merge with the direct route, and we are only a little way from the summit.
