Rž, Mountain summit in the Julian Alps, Slovenia
Rž is a 2,538-metre summit on the eastern ridge of Triglav in the Julian Alps, Slovenia. It stands between Kredarica (2,540 m) and Rjavina (2,532 m), and the marked trail between Triglavski dom na Kredarici (2,514 m) and Koča Valentina Staniča (2,332 m) crosses its top.
Rž (2,538 m) lies on the eastern ridge of Triglav, between Kredarica (2,540 m) and Rjavina (2,532 m). Its marked path connects the Triglav House on Kredarica (2,514 m) with the Valentin Stanič Hut (2,332 m), so the summit is a link on the Kredarica–Stanič traverse rather than a separate climbing objective. The name is the Slovene word for rye.
Rž means "rye" in Slovene, a name shared with the 2,538 m summit on the eastern ridge of Triglav, between the Kredarica hut (2,514 m) and the Valentin Stanič hut (2,332 m). The marked path linking these two huts crosses the peak, so it is usually passed on the way between them rather than climbed on its own.
The climb from lower elevations is steep and demands good physical fitness as well as careful footing on rocky terrain. Check weather conditions before departing and bring adequate water and food for the journey.
