Srednja vas (Senožeta) - Rudnica

Access to starting point:
A) From the road Bled - Bohinjska Bistrica, in the settlement Bitnje we turn sharply right (from the direction of Bohinj slightly left) in the direction of Pokljuka, Srednja vas and Jereka. A steep ascent follows, when the road flattens we continue straight from the intersection in the direction of Stara Fužina and Srednja vas (right Pokljuka, Koprivnik and Jereka). A little further we already arrive in Bohinjska Češnjica, but we follow the main road to Srednja vas, where we turn left in the direction of the ski lift. We follow the signs for the ski lift to a larger parking lot at the foot of the Senožeta ski slope. The parking lot is paid during the summer season.
B) We drive to Stara Fužina, then continue driving towards Srednja vas. In Srednja vas we turn right in the direction of the ski lift. We follow the signs for the ski lift to a larger parking lot at the foot of the Senožeta ski slope. The parking lot is paid during the summer season.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the path towards Bohinjska Češnjica and walk along the asphalt road, where the route of the Bohinj cycling path runs. After a few minutes we arrive at a marked junction, where we head right towards Brod (if we continue straight we arrive in Bohinjska Češnjica).
From the junction onwards the road begins to ascend, and the asphalt soon ends. The macadam path gradually approaches the ski slope route, where it turns left, higher up it gradually flattens and turns towards the south. A short descent follows to a junction, where we go right (left downwards we descend to Brod), then mainly in a gentle ascent we walk across vast hay meadows, where we walk mostly towards the west, ahead of us we already clearly see Rudnica. When the cart track brings us to a small saddle between Rudnica on the left and Kazanca on the right (peak with hunting observatory), we go left and begin to ascend along the fence, following a fainter trail. Higher, when we leave the hay meadows and the path enters the forest, the trail becomes more distinct, a little further also very steep. A steep ascent follows through the slope, where there are several fallen trees, but with the passages there are no major problems, as the trail mostly bypasses them nicely. The steep path, along which older markings can also be seen, brings us higher into more plateau-like terrain, where we join a better-trodden path from Brod.
Here we continue right along the edge of the precipice and continue the path (the path is somewhat distant from the edge, so there is no major danger of slipping). We then follow this panoramic path to the nearby summit of Rudnica, where there is a bench and a few steps further a summit log box.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in February 2020.
