Podbrdo - Planina Za Črno goro (via Vrh Bače)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and Tolmin. When we get to Podbrdo, we need to pay attention, because we will immediately behind the church turn right on a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park on an appropriate place by the road, or on a smaller parking lot by the local cemetery.
B) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, at settlement Bača pri Modreju we turn right, or left, if we come from the direction of Posočje and we continue driving towards Podbrdo. At the end of the settlement Podbrdo, we need to pay attention, because we will just before the church of St. Miklavž turn left on a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park on an appropriate place by the road, or on a smaller parking lot by the local cemetery.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on at first still asphalt road, from which soon marked footpath towards Vrh Bače branches off sharply to the left. Further, we continue past old residential houses, behind which we gradually pass over in the forest. Through the forest, we are ascending on a relatively well-marked and partly also quite steep mountain path, which higher flattens and out of the forest brings us on a short panoramic slope, on which we walk to the near small church of St. Lenart.
At the church, we step on a narrow road, on which we quickly walk in the village Bača pri Podbrdu. Through the small and panoramic village, we follow the blazes, and they lead on a cart track which starts ascending through the forest. Narrower and at first also a little overgrown cart track, already after few minutes joins old mule track. Wide mule track we follow to the right, and it already after few minutes brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue on the upper left path in the direction of Vrh Bače (slightly right Petrovo Brdo).
Further, we are for quite some time ascending on a well preserved and quite wide mule track, which we higher leave for a short time because the path leads on a marked shortcut. Higher on a mule track we few times get to some fallen trees, and then we get closer to cliffs of the peak Šance, where we leave mule track. Next, we ascend on a quite steep path, on which in 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the hunting cottage on Vrh Bače.
From the hunting cottage, we continue straight (sharply right Petrovo Brdo) and we ascend on a saddle Vrh Bače, where there is a marked crossing. Here we continue left in the direction of Črna prst (slightly right on the road Soriška planina, right uphill Šavnik and Možic) and start ascending diagonally through the forest. When the path ascends almost below the very peak of Šance, it starts descending towards smaller saddle. The path at first leads past the cottage of GRS (mountain rescue service), and then we reach already mentioned small saddle. The path ahead starts at first moderately ascending, and then gradually brings us on the ridge of Kobla, where becomes even steeper. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent on the path which runs by the edge of occasionally exposed ridge. Higher, the path flattens, turns a little to the right and brings us on a less distinct 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 chain 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. At the crossing, we continue on the bottom right path (left upper path leads towards Črna prst), which is for a short time still descending through the forest and then turns to the right and out of the forest brings us on the mountain pasture Za Črno goro.
