Ravne - Črna prst (via Orožnova koča)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. Soon we will notice along the road the mountain trail markers for Črna prst, which point to the right, but we continue straight. Only a little later we come to a crossroads, where a signpost directs us slightly to the right towards the village Ravne. Further we drive past a large parking lot by the ski slope Kobla, while we follow the asphalt road, which begins to ascend steeply, to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue driving all the way to the spot where the asphalt ends. At the spot where the asphalt ends there is a larger parking lot by the inn Janez, where we park on the right side of the parking lot (the parking lot on the left side of the road is intended for guests of the inn Janez).

Route description:
From the parking lot at the inn Janez we continue in the direction of Črna prst and mountain hut Orožnova koča, where at first we walk on a macadam road, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Triglav. The road after the initial ascent passes into the forest and turns a little to the left, where we quickly arrive at a marked junction.
From the junction we continue left in the direction of Črna prst, mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro and mountain hut Orožnova koča (straight Bohinjska Bistrica and old path towards Orožnova koča). The path ahead on the right side bypasses a private house (formerly mountain hut Planinski dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja), then a little further it joins a cart track, on which we continue the ascent. A little higher, at the junction we continue right, then the path continues through the forest. A little further the path leads past a log cabin and a cross, then we already arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Orožnova koča (left mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro).
The path ahead crosses slopes a little towards the right, meanwhile it also descends noticeably. When the descent ends, an old path joins us from the right, which is a little shorter but officially no longer marked. This is followed by walking on a forest path, where we cross a few cart tracks; at the marked junction we continue on the right path. A few minutes higher we reach a forest road, which we only cross (right Orožnova koča via log slide).
This is followed by a relatively steep ascent through the forest, higher a somewhat longer path via log slide joins us from the right.
We continue left and in a few minutes arrive at the mountain hut Orožnova koča on mountain pasture Planina za Liscem.
From the hut we continue left into the forest moderately upwards. The path ahead slowly transitions from the forest to the slopes below Črna prst. The steepness of the path begins to increase, as does the slope we are walking on, which becomes steeper and steeper. The already quite steep path brings us below the walls of Črna prst. Next we ascend alongside the wall upwards, then turn left and cross a gully. Further in a moderate ascent we cross the slopes towards the east. Only a few meters before the saddle the path from mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro joins us. At the saddle we turn right and in ten minutes of panoramic walking arrive at the hut on Črna prst. For the ascent to the summit we need to take a few more steps.
