Podbrdo - Planina Za Črno goro (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 onto a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park in a suitable place by the road, or on a smaller parking lot by the local cemetery.
B) From the road Idrija - Most na Soči, at the 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 turn left just before the church of St. Miklavž onto a narrower local road which starts ascending by the river Bača. We park in a suitable 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 initially somewhat overgrown cart track joins an old mule track after just a few minutes. We follow the wide mule track to the right, and it brings us after a few minutes to a smaller crossing, 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, as the path leads us along a marked shortcut. Higher up, the path on the mule track is a few times blocked 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, along which in 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the hunting cottage on Vrh Bače.
From the hunting cottage, we continue straight ahead (sharply right Petrovo Brdo) and ascend to the saddle Vrh Bače, where there is a marked crossing. 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 begin to ascend diagonally through the forest. When the path has ascended almost below the very summit of Šanc, it begins to descend towards a smaller saddle. The path first leads past the GRS cottage, and then we reach the aforementioned saddle. The path ahead first begins to ascend moderately, then gradually brings us to the ridge of Kobla, where it becomes even steeper. There follows a few minutes of steep ascent along a 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 distinct 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", but we continue straight and bypass the summit on its right side, to which it is otherwise only a few 10 steps away.
On the other side of Krevl, the path begins to descend again, 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 downhill. There follows some more descent, then we arrive at the smaller swamp Na Kalu, where there is also a less noticeable crossing. We continue on the right path (to the left across a smaller saddle leads an old shepherd path, which crosses the southern slopes of the lower Bohinj mountains, and it later joins the path from Podbrdo towards Črna prst), which continues gently descending and brings us somewhat lower to a marked crossing. At the crossing, we continue on the lower right path (the upper left path leads towards Črna prst), which descends for a short time longer through the forest, then turns to the right and brings us out of the forest onto the mountain pasture Za Črno goro.
