Podbrdo - Črna prst (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 turn right immediately behind the church on a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park in 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 in 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 the initially still asphalted road, from which soon a marked footpath towards Vrh Bače branches off sharply to the left. Further, we continue past an old residential house, behind which we gradually enter the forest. Through the forest, we ascend on a relatively well-marked and partly also quite steep mountain path, which higher up levels out and brings us out of the forest onto a short panoramic slope, across which we walk to the nearby small church of St. Lenart.
At the church, we step onto a narrow road, along which we quickly walk into the village Bača pri Podbrdu. Through the small and panoramic village, we follow the blazes, which lead us onto a cart track that starts ascending through the forest. The narrower and at first also somewhat overgrown cart track already after a few minutes joins an old mule track. We follow the wide mule track to the right, and it already after a few minutes brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue on the upper left path in the direction of Vrh Bače (slightly right Petrovo Brdo).
Further, we ascend for quite some time on a well-preserved and quite wide mule track, which higher up we leave for a short time because the path leads via a marked shortcut. Higher up the mule track is blocked a few times by some fallen trees, and then we approach the cliffs of the peak Šance, where we leave the mule track. Next, we ascend on a quite steep path, on which in 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the hunting cottage on Vrh Bače.
From the hunting cottage, we continue straight (sharply right Petrovo Brdo) and ascend to the pass Vrh Bače, where there is a marked junction. Here we continue left in the direction of Črna prst (slightly right along the road to Soriška planina, right uphill to Šavnik and Možic) and start to ascend diagonally through the forest. When the path has ascended almost below the very peak of Šance, it starts descending towards a smaller saddle. The path first leads past the GRS cottage, and then we reach the aforementioned saddle. Ahead, the path starts first with moderate ascent, then gradually brings us to the ridge of Kobla, where it becomes even steeper. There follow a few minutes of steep ascent on the path that runs along the edge of the occasionally exposed ridge. Higher up, the path levels out, turns slightly to the right and brings us to the less pronounced summit of Kobla.
From Kobla there follows a slight descent, then the path continues along a less steep ridge towards the neighbouring Krevl. Towards the summit of Krevl somewhat further to the left a marked path branches off in the direction of "Kobla žig", and we continue straight and bypass the summit on the right side, to which there are otherwise only a few dozen steps.
On the other side of Krevl the path again starts to descend, this time to the nearby ski slope. When we reach the edge of the ski slope, we notice signs for Črna prst, which direct us left downwards. There follows still some descent, then we arrive at the smaller marsh Na Kalu, where there is also a less noticeable junction. We continue on the right path (left across a smaller saddle leads an old shepherd path, which crosses the southern slopes of the lower Bohinj mountains, which later joins the path from Podbrdo to Črna prst), which continues gently descending and somewhat lower brings us to a marked junction, where the path from the pasture Za Črno goro joins from the right.
At the mentioned junction we continue slightly left, then we start moderately ascending through the forest. Higher up the trail makes a few long zigzags, then brings us from the increasingly sparse forest or belt of bushes to the screes below Rušni vrh. Here the path temporarily levels out, then on the other side of the screes it starts steeply ascending up the grassy gully below the ridge of Home. On this section in late spring there is increased danger of falling rocks. Higher up the gully ends, and the path crosses a short steep slope, where snow can still persist until early summer. Above the steep section we join the path from Orožnova koča, a few meters higher we step onto the ridge, which we reach at the saddle Čez Suho.
Here we continue right and with views of Baška grapa, Bohinj and the highest peaks of the Julian Alps, in a few minutes we ascend to the Dom na Črni prsti, which is located only a few meters below the summit.
We bypass the Dom Zorka Jelinčiča on the left side and over a short steep slope in a few steps ascend to the panoramic summit.
