Path description:
From Ribniška koča we go on the path in the direction of Jezerski vrh and lake Ribniško jezero and we at first walk on the road, on which we came to the starting point and in a gentle descent leads to the saddle between Mali Črni vrh and Jezerski vrh. On the saddle, where it is also possible to park we leave the road and go on a marked footpath which at first gently and then steeply ascends to the monument on Jezerski vrh, which we reach in approximately 10 minutes of more and more panoramic ascent.
From Jezerski vrh we continue left in the direction of Ribniško jezero (slightly left - Rogla and Lovrenška jezera) and we start descending through a thin forest. Only a little lower the path splits, and we continue straight (right path joins the before mentioned path which leads towards Rogla and Lovrenška jezera) and in a minute of additional walking, we descend to lake Ribniško jezero.
