Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce, and then we continue driving towards Bled and Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica we continue on the main road towards Lake Bohinj, and after the village Kamnje we need to pay attention, because we will on the right side, only few meters before the beginning of the village Polje, park on a parking lot by the river Sava Bohinjka.
Path description:
From the parking lot at first we carefully cross the road, after that for a short time, we continue by the main road towards Polje. When we get to Polje, we continue left on a local road, on which we quickly walk to a smaller crossroad, by which we notice the first signposts for mountain hut Orožnova koča, mountain pasture Planina Osredki and Črna prst. We continue in the mentioned direction and further we walk on a narrower asphalt road which in a gentle ascent brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the bottom right road (left Bohinjska Bistrica). The path ahead brings us to the beginning of the village Žlan and a little further also to the center of the mentioned village. Above the village the asphalt ends and macadam road brings us to some sort of turning point and trough with water (to here we can also come with a car, this shortens the path for approximately 20 minutes).
From the trough we continue left, where at first through a smaller bridge we cross nearby stream and then we start moderately ascending by the edge of ample pasture. A little higher we cross a grazing fence, so that we pass over on inner side of the pasture. Further, we are ascending through an ample pasture, and the path mostly leads through very thin forest. Higher, we leave the pasture, and the path passes into a dense forest. Further, we cross a very rough cart track, after that for a short time, we are ascending by smaller torrent stream. The path ahead ascends to rough forest road, on which for some time we continue the ascent. When we get to a crossroad, where we join a wider macadam road (road which leads from Ravne towards the mountain pasture Storeča raven) we follow it to the left and there even descend a little (when we reach the road we don't continue straight on an ascending cart track, on which partly misleadingly points mountain signpost). After a short descent, marked cart track branches off to the right.
We continue on a slightly overgrown cart track which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Orožnova koča and mountain pasture Planina za Liscem (slightly right mountain pasture Osredki) on the path which continues through the forest. Next follows few successive crossings, where we carefully follow occasionally rare blazes. Higher, we reach the forest road, few steps we follow it to the left and then we continue on ascending path in the direction of Črna prst. The path ahead is for a short time ascending steeper, and then it flattens and crosses slopes towards the left. After a shorter crossing, it joins the cart track or timber slide. Here we join the path from Bohinjska Bistrica (also the path from the starting point Ravne and Mountain hut Dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja), and we continue on timber slide to the spot, where it changes into a gentle footpath. Higher, the footpath again starts ascending steeper, and then it also joins the steep path from the mountain hut Dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja. Here we continue straight and after 2 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Orožnova koča, from which a nice view opens up on Črna prst and Triglav.
