Access to starting point:
From Železniki we drive towards Tolmin or vice versa, we follow the road to the settlement Petrovo Brdo, where on a parking lot at the mountain hut Petrovo Brdo we also park. The mountain hut is located right next to a crossroad, where the road on Soriška planina branches off.
Path description:
By the mountain hut, we notice signs for Črna prst, which point us on a very steep path. After a short steep ascent, we step on a wide cart track which we follow to the right, and it quickly brings us to a torrent stream. Marked cart track soon turns a little towards the left and is then relatively steeply ascending through the forest. After approximately half an hour of walking, we come to mountain signposts, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue in the direction of Črna prst (left Kup and Podbrdo) and we continue the ascent on an ascending cart track which higher turns to the right and entirely flattens. After few minutes of additional walking, we leave the cart track and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath. After a short ascent, the path flattens a little and brings us on the old, but very well-preserved mule track. We continue the ascent on the mentioned mule track, which through the forest and some gullies brings us to Lovčev bivak Pri Koucah (Lovčev bivak is just a name of the cottage and there it isn't possible to bivouac).
Only few 10 meters before the mentioned cottage, is a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Lajnar and Soriška planina. The path which ahead isn't marked, continues on an old mule track, and it quickly brings us out of the forest, where we cross relatively steep slopes. Higher, the path passes into a lane of a forest, where it turns sharply to the left. This easy to follow and an increasingly panoramic path, which higher makes few more zig-zags, we follow all the way to the main ridge, where we again step on a marked path.
When we step on a marked path we continue straight (sharply right Lajnar) in the direction of Slatnik, Možic, Šavnik and Črna prst on a marked path which continues on Primorska side of the ridge (possible is also to continue on the ridge). A gentle ascent follows on panoramic mule track, and then the path brings us on the saddle between the both peaks of Slatnik.
We continue slightly right (sharply right Mali Slatnik 10-15 minutes) on the wide path, which in a gentle ascent brings us a little above the old military barracks.
We continue slightly left, and a little downwards (sharply left on a grassy ridge peak Slatnik 5 minutes) on the path which starts descending towards a smaller saddle, where there is the next crossing.
We continue straight (left downwards Šavnik) on an old military mule track, that starts slightly ascending. This pleasant path we then follow all the way to the top of Možic, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
