Bohinjsko sedlo - Črna prst

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road towards Bled and forward towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. We follow this road to a large parking lot near the ski center Soriška planina.
B) From Železniki we drive towards Podbrdo or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Soriška planina point us on an ascending road. We follow this road to a large parking lot by the foot of the ski slope Soriška planina.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue towards the west on a gentle macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Litostrojska koča on Soriška planina. Further, the road moderately ascends and it quickly brings us to the mentioned mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, we continue straight on a marked path in the direction of Lajnar, Možic and Šavnik. The path is at first for some time ascending parallel with a ski lift, and then splits into two parts. We continue on the right path, by which we notice a sign Možic (straight Lajnar), and which gradually starts ascending steeper. Higher, we cross a lane of a low forest and then we gradually get to a smaller valley. From the small valley we go slightly to the right, and then on the path which ascends diagonally through a grassy slope, in few minutes we walk to an old Italian border building.
From the border building, by which there is also a nicely settled smaller shepherd hut, in few steps we ascend on a grassy ridge, where the path from Lajnar and Petrovo Brdo joins. Here we continue at first to the right, and after few steps left downwards (sharply left peak Slatna 3 minutes). Next follows a short descent and the path brings us to the next crossing, where we again continue slightly left (straight Možic 10 minutes). We continue in the direction of Šavnik and Črna prst, and the path quickly descends into the forest. Next follows a short a little steeper descent through the forest and then the path flattens and brings us into a grassy small valley named Na Poljani. Here we continue left (right downwards mountain pasture Planina za Šavnikom) and through a meadow we ascend to a smaller saddle between Slatna on the left and Šavnik on the right.
From the saddle, from which the path to Šavnik branches off to the right, we continue straight and then immediately left in the forest through which we start descending. During the descent, we can on the right side notice an old military bunker, and we follow the path from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards Porezen and Baška grapa to a saddle Vrh Bače.
From the saddle, we continue at first right, and then at the marked crossing by the end of the road, we go left into the forest. Next follows few minutes of ascent through the forest and then the path flattens and it brings us to the cottage of GRS (mountain rescue service). Further follows a short descent, and the path from the slopes of Šance, gradually passes on less vegetated slopes of Kobla. Here we at first ascend through a thin forest and then the path brings us on a slightly exposed ridge, on which we start ascending steeply (in wet on some spots, it is dangerous for slipping). Higher the ridge flattens, and the path turns to the right, and after a minute of additional walking brings us on an indistinct peak of Kobla.
From Kobla follows a light descent, and then the path continues on less steep ridge towards the neighbouring Krevl. Towards the summit of Krevl a little further marked path in the direction of "Kobla žig (stamp)" branches off to the left, and we continue straight and we on the right side bypass the peak, to which is otherwise only few 10 strides of walking.
On the other side of Krevl path again starts descending, this time to the nearby ski slope. When we reach the edge of ski track, we notice signs for Črna prst, which point us to the left downwards. Next follows some descent, and then we get to a smaller swamp Na Kalu, where there is also less noticeable crossing. We continue on the right path (left over a small saddle leads old shepherd path, which crosses the southern slopes of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, which after a time joins the path from Podbrdo towards Črna prst), which is still gently descending and a little lower brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the mountain pasture Za Črno goro.
On the mentioned crossing we continue slightly left and then we start moderately ascending through the forest. Higher, the footpath makes few long zig-zags, after that from a thinner forest or lane of bushes brings us to the scree below Rušni vrh. Here the path for some time flattens, and then on the other side of the scree starts ascending steeply on grassy groove below the ridge of Home. On this part in the late spring there is increased danger of falling stones. Higher, the groove ends, and the path crosses a short steep slope, where in the early summer snow fields are still possible. Above the steep part we join the path from the mountain hut Orožnova koča, and only a few meters higher we step on the ridge, which we reach on the saddle Čez Suho.
Here we continue right and with a view on Baška grapa, Bohinj and the highest peaks of the Julian Alps, in few minutes we ascend to the mountain hut Dom na Črni prsti, which is situated only few meters below the summit.
Mountain hut Dom Zorka Jelinčiča we bypass on the left side and over a short steep slope in few steps we ascend on a panoramic peak.
