Path from Petrov Brdo over Črna prst to Rodica completely dry!

Yesterday 23.6.2021, I went again from Petrov Brdo all the way to Žabiški Kuk. The path to Rodica is snow-free except for the snowfield below Matajurski vrh. On the path, it is necessary to cross three small snowfields, as visible from the photo. All of it can be bypassed via Matajurski vrh and descent along the ridge (towards Rodica) back to the path. The ridge is not technically demanding, but exposed in places, so caution is needed.

From Rodica towards Šija, just before the exit to the Šija ridge, there are also three small snowfields, which can be bypassed without issues. Snow is then only right below the exit to the Vogel ridge, which cannot be bypassed and requires caution.

Last week my friend and I set off from Petrov Brdo to Rodica and then descended the same path as you to planina Podkuk. It is really heavily overgrown, but there are visible signs of maintenance (cut brush). Bigger problem was finding the path in the forest to E7. Occasionally blue arrows on beeches visible, showing direction, but path more or less gone. The mulatiera is great though. We found the path because it's marked on the map and we preferred it over the path from Rodica to Kneške Ravne.

The road to the monument is cleared. Further on, today there were only "tracks" from ski tourers. But the snow is mostly blown away; right under the hut the caretaker made a nice foot track.
