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. Soon we will notice by the road signposts for Črna prst, which point towards the right, but we continue straight. Only a little later we come to a crossroad, where a signpost point us to slightly right towards the village Ravne. Further, we drive past a large parking lot by the former ski slope Kobla, and the asphalt road which starts ascending steeply we follow to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue to drive all the way to the spot, where the asphalt ends. At the spot, where the asphalt ends is a larger parking lot by inn Janez, where we park on the right side of the parking lot, (parking lot on the left side of the road is intended for guests of the inn Janez).
B) From Železniki or Petrovo Brdo we drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, where before the center of the settlement, we turn left in the direction of the settlement Ravne. The road which starts ascending steeply we follow to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue to drive all the way to the spot, where the asphalt ends. At the spot, where the asphalt ends is a larger parking lot by inn Janez, where we park on the right side of the parking lot, (parking lot on the left side of the road is intended for guests of the inn Janez).
Path 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 get to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Črna prsta, 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 privat house (used to be mountain hut Planinski dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja), after that a little ahead it joins a cart track, on which we continue to ascend. A little higher, at the crossing we continue right, and then the path continues through the forest. Even a little further, the path leads past a log cabin and a cross, and then we already get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Orožnova koča (left mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro).
The path then crosses slopes a little towards the right, and meanwhile it also descends considerably. When the descent ends, from the right old path joins, which is a little shorter, but officially no longer marked. Next follows a walk on a forest path, where we cross few cart tracks, and at the marked crossing we continue on the right path. Few minutes higher we reach the forest road which we only cross (right Orožnova koča on timber slide).
Next follows a relatively steep ascent through the forest, and higher from the right a little longer path on timber slide joins.
We continue left and in few minutes we get to the mountain hut Orožnova koča on the mountain pasture Planina za Liscem.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Črna prst, on the path which goes into the forest and which at first runs on botanical trail. After the initial ascent path quickly flattens, and then it is ascending diagonally towards the right, and occasionally it also descends a little. Higher botanical trail turns right, and we continue on a marked path, which gradually becomes steeper, meanwhile also passes out of the forest. Next follows an ascent on slopes of Črna prst, where the path for some time becomes more rocky and for a short time also pretty steep. The steepness quickly decreases and the path turns left, where it ascends diagonally over short quite steep slope, and then the path and the slope flatten out, and only a little further we get to a marked crossing, where joins the path from the mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro and the path from Soriška planina.
We continue right and in few steps ascend on a saddle Čez Suho, from where a beautiful view opens up towards the south.
On the mentioned saddle we leave the marked path and continue left on an unmarked footpath which ascends on the ridge of Rušni vrh. The steepness quickly decreases and a more panoramic path after 5 minutes of walking from the spot, when we left blazes brings us on a little visited peak.
