Itinerary description

Village Rudnik monastery Blagoveštenje Rudnik over 8 summits above 1000 meters asl
Most of the trail was over unmarked paths.
Important - If you plan to follow this track please avoid my mistakes:
ascent to Veliki Šturac from Marjanovac lot of broken branches and high grass, almost un-passable
descent from Molitve - use same path for ascent
and path near monastery - use dirty road instead shortcuts. Paths on shortcuts are not safe and at the end you will be stopped by barbed wire fence around monastery.

Summits:
Mali Šturac 1058 meters asl
Srednji Šturac 1113 m
Marjanac 1029 m
Veliki Šturac (Jovan Cvijic's summit) 1132 m
Javor 1107 m
Molitve 1096 m
Paljevine 1052 m
Tavan 1007 m

Notice - use same path for ascent and descent from summit. Path used by me is not good requires some "gymnastic" activities like sliding on the ground and jumping from an enviable height

Recommend to use dirty road as a main path to monastery. Trail used by me is unmarked and not safe
