Javorje - Rodica (marked way)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica and Lake Bohinj. After the settlement of Laški Rovt, we arrive at a smaller junction, where the road branching to the left leads to the starting points of the paths to Rodica, mountain pasture Suha, Šija, Vogel... and the scout camp Laški Rovt. The macadam road immediately enters the forest and first ascends past the mentioned scout camp, then ascends relatively steeply for a few more kilometres. After a little less than 6.5 km of driving on macadam, we arrive at a somewhat larger junction, where the road to mountain pasture Storeča raven (starting point of the path to Vogel) branches off to the right. Here we continue straight and after approximately 50 m of further driving arrive at the left bend, where the starting point of the path to mountain pasture Suha is. We park at a suitable place beside the road.

Route description:
Near the parking lot, on the west side of the torrent we notice a marked footpath which leads towards mountain pasture Suha. The path first ascends on the right side of the torrent, then joins it. After a few steps walking on the torrential gravel, the marked path turns right and flattens completely. The gentle walking is quickly interrupted by a steep ascent over a relatively steep slope. The steepness then eases somewhat and the well-marked path leads us through dense forest along and beside the torrent upwards. A little higher, the marked path moves away from the torrent to the left and rejoins it after a few minutes. The path, which then runs on the right side of the torrent, soon brings us out of the forest onto the spacious mountain pasture Suha.
From the mountain pasture we continue past the shepherd's hut beside the deposit of torrential gravel. In places a very poorly visible little path in the upper part of the mountain pasture turns slightly left. Further on, the path, which starts turning slightly right, is much easier to follow. After a short ascent we bypass the hunting hut, which we notice on the right side.
The path then starts to ascend more steeply up the slope, which is partly overgrown with brushwood. This increasingly panoramic path brings us higher to a somewhat larger cairn, where there is a junction (straight: marked path to saddle Čez Suho, left: unmarked path over Lepo Suho).
We continue straight on the marked path, which ascends between brushwood and sparse trees. Higher up, the trees run out and the path reaches a sinkhole below saddle Čez Suho. The path bypasses it on the left side and soon brings us to the junction at saddle Čez Suho. An old military bunker stands here with signposts on it.
We head left onto the wide panoramic grassy ridge. The path from here is not steep but has a few short descents. Soon the panoramic path brings us to the summit pyramid of scenic Rodica.
