While browsing archive found photos exactly one year ago. Started path gloomy morning by Bohinj Lake in Ribčev Laz. On ascent to planina Suha admired beautiful mushrooms. Above planina Suha entered clouds which cleared towards summit. For me no more magical mountain moment than when mists dissipate and sun embraces all.

This time (Saturday, 7.12.2013) from Grant, clustered village below Rodica and neighboring village Rut. Both picturesque villages originated during Tyrolean colonization in the 13th century.
Between houses a very narrow and steep road leads, no parking. Friendly locals allowed me to park in their yard and showed me the direction to continue to Rodica, as there are no signs. Above the village I continued on the cart track that moderately ascends right of the village and later flattens and widens into a forest road in the woods. Due to a fallen tree on the road that caught my attention, I missed the marked path from Rut village, which steeply ascends through the forest just before the fallen tree. I bypassed the fallen tree alone and continued a few meters to the nearby bend, where it seemed a path branched uphill. I started ascending the leaf-covered gully and later noticed faded marking on a tree. After a steep and tiring ascent due to deep leaves, I reached a gravel road, continued left and soon arrived at a junction where an arrow directed me to Rodica. Here I joined the marked path from Rut village that I missed at the fallen tree. The path first steeply ascended along the forest clearing, when it leveled, at an unmarked junction I continued on the trail that ascends through the forest across the forest road. Higher I crossed the forest road again and continued the ascent through the woods. Here a stake helped me, where maybe a signpost will stand someday. After the steep ascent I finally reached the path from Rut village along the gravel road. Also at this junction, just before the turnoff to planina Razor, stands a stake waiting for direction signs. To here from Grant village I needed a good hour of walking.

Further on the path was nicely snow-covered and well-trodden. Snow was just enough for real winter atmosphere, but not so much to make the path demanding and unsafe. Caution was needed at several places. Midday snow was just right for walking even without crampons, which stayed in the backpack this time. In the morning they would have been useful, as seen from the predecessor's tracks. Towards evening snow softened a bit more, but only sank under my feet a few times. Snow on path around 0.5 m, in drifts up to 1 m, higher towards summit also snow-free sections or windblown to ice base.
Given higher temperatures expected in coming days, conditions may change quickly.

Whoever misses an ice axe, finds it by the path under the bend before the fallen larch.

Dear Suzana, your contributions and photos are among the best on this forum, so I always follow them. I was especially happy about your today's post.
I thought my lost ice axe had already "got legs", but an honest lady finds it, sticks it in the snow and posts the location online.
Immediately went to the fallen larch, where I found - my ice axe gifted to me for the second time.

Thank you and many more such days in the mountains like yesterday.

Today I head from our Vipava low clouds with friend to find sun. Decide for Rodica from Grantarski forest. At start sun already shines nicely and immediately pleasantly warm. Mitja joins us at start and together we head uphill. Around wonderful views, in valley fog. Notable snow starts at first avalanche, where crossing quite unpleasant. At beginning walk on windcrust snow, on summit ridge frozen, recommend crampons. Otherwise about 1m snow at top. On return snow softened a bit on ridge, but when reach bushes sinks in many places. Nice tour!velik nasmeh
