Itinerary description
This loop starts and ends just outside Rudnik village and does the three main peaks of the Rudnik massif. We took a few side trails to check out views and stop for lunch. Just follow the main loop on this trail and you'll be fine. Definitely a moderate hike - good, wide paths. Nice scenery and forested - a good summer hike as there is lots of cover.

On the way to the monastery ruin - do not go down here if you're short on time - stick to the main loop
If you keep going down this path you will read one of the springs that is a source for the Ibar river and the ruins of an old monastery. Apparently the headstones of an old Turkish cemetery are kept at the monastery. We would have loved to keep going down the path to check it out, but didn't have time, so turned around.

We turned around here but if you keep going you will reach a spring and monastery - next time ...

The summit - Cvijicev Vrh (Veliki Sturac)
After this, you can follow the trail back and head straight to Srednji Sturac - the next waypoint on this map is just where we stopped for lunch. We then backtracked back to the main trail.
