Path description:
On the south side of the parking lot, we look for a macadam road which continues towards the southwest, and after crossing of a stream it splits. We continue on the right road in the direction of Poldnik (Kopa) / Picco to Mezzodi and Remšendol / Val Romana (left Mangart and mountain hut Zacchi), which for a short time continues through the forest and then it brings us on the bottom part of the mountain pasture Jezerska planina. Next follows a shorter crossing, and then the road turns left and starts gently to moderately ascending. A quite panoramic road, we then with nice views follow to the upper part of the mountain pasture, where there are some older cottages.
W bypass cottages on the right side, and the road little ahead passes into the forest, where at the marked crossroad we continue slightly right towards Poldnik and Remšendol (slightly left Plazje / Forcella della Lavina). The worse road a little further once again splits, and we again choose right, which changes into a cart track and it brings us to a larger clearing, where there stands a hunting observatory. Here the path turns left and passes into the forest, through which it starts ascending steeply. In the forest at first we cross a torrent, and then we are ascending on a slope, and partly on an indistinct forest ridge. At the altitude 1400 meters we reach the saddle Črni vrh / Sella di Colrotondo, where we leave the marked path towards Poldnik and we continue right, on easy to follow, but further unmarked path, which at first continues on the ridge. From the ridge for some time a view opens up a little on mountains, which are rising above the gable of valley Mangartska dolina, and after small wooden cottage path turns slightly left and joins the cart track which leads from the valley of the stream Črni potok and starts at settlement Bela Peč / Villa Bassa.
We continue on a cart track which is gently to moderately ascending and leads towards the north. Higher, we reach the highest point of Črni vrh, and we continue for approximately a minute ahead, to a larger clearing, where there stands a hunting observatory and from where a beautiful view opens up.
The starting point - Jezerska planina 0:15, Jezerska planina - saddle Črni vrh 1:00, saddle Črni vrh - Črni vrh 0:25.
