Črna prst

Hello,
Does anyone perhaps know what the path to Črna prst is like?
Probably no snow anymore?

ljubitelj gora8. 06. 2013 18:05:42

From the southern side it's snow-free, at least as I saw from the main road.

On the northern side there are still snow patches, you can see it nicely on my picture from Viševnik. nasmeh

On Sunday I was on ČP, past Orožnova koča. As -otiv- noted, there's still quite some snow under the wall. Snow is soft and three before me had made footsteps, but I continued anyway with "crampons in hands and ice axe on foot" jezik

. Descended via the pasture behind Črna gora, snow patches there too.

Tomorrow repeat the same route...

thanks
for the quick replies

Practically no snow anymore, path normally "passable" with summer mountaineering gear nasmeh

The trail from Bohinjska Bistrica is snow-free, the botanical trail is also already set up, and Orožnova hut is open too.

Today, however, with Škofja Loka mountaineers to Crna Prst. We drove from Škofja Loka via Soriska Planina and before Bohinjska Bistrica turned onto gravel and drove to the starting point for planina pod Lisec and Crna Prst. This shortcut is known more to locals. A local Bohinj botanist led us along it and went with us to the hut. He founded this botanical trail. He told us lots of interesting things and explained about the flowers we saw along the trail. With Bohinj expert on Bohinj mountain flowers Mr. Strgar they also checked and put up signs with flower names on the botanical trail this year. At the hut he also showed us a rare find - some yellow flower, whose name I didn't note down. We went along local unmarked trail to the mountain hut under Lisec. Then of course along botanical trail to the top of Crna Prst. We returned via Planina Za Črno goro. But true, then we had to walk a bit to the car.

Flower markers start already at the hut.

From Oražmova hut, Triglav and its neighbors are wonderfully visible.

On the botanical path we also encounter the last breath of winter.

The summit of the mountain was occupied.

The mountain got its name from these dark black rocks.

We arrive at the alpine pasture Za Črno goro.

A rarer find is probably the alpine pasqueflower, which we always went to see on Planina Osredki, this year it appeared around Orožnova hut.
Shame I couldn't make it up today to say something.
Regards
Peter Strgar

velkavrh - I think we met on the road around 7 o'clock.

velkavrh22. 06. 2013 17:23:03

Peter, yes it's alpine pasqueflower. Unfortunately that photo didn't come out right. Of course I don't have it in my album yet. But I'll come up for the alpine pasqueflower holiday you have there around Aug 1st when it blooms. Haven't seen it yet. The gentleman showed us where it blooms.

Today to Crna Prst from Podbrdo.
First I planned to continue to Rodica, but clouds gathering around the peaks discouraged me from continuing.
I descended to Bohinjska Bistrica behind Črna gora.
Lots of visitors, flowers less diverse than a year ago at this time. Maybe I'm still under impression of blooming carpets from Rodica few days ago, hard to compare.

Črna prst from the train station in Podbrdo

the worst part of the path is behind me: up the steep, asphalted road to Trtnik village, in scorching sun already at 7.00 a.m.

in the forest one breathes somewhat easier

finally out of the forest, ahead is only the nicest part of the path on green panoramic slopes

while observing flowers the summit approaches quickly

just below the saddle, view down the luxuriantly flowering slope

view from the saddle to the Bohinj side; clouds are gathering over the peaks

moment of solitude on the summit, true luxury today

Orožnova koča on planina Za Liscem, Bohinjska Bistrica in the background

another look back at the summit during descent to planina Za Črno goro

not at all pleasant descent over very demanding terrain through Žrelo

below the former dom J. Mencinger the path to Boh. Bistrica first proceeds through flowers

then continues in the mud that still hasn't dried since last year

On 25.11.2012 I was muddy to my knees, today it wasn't so bad. Tractors still drive on this ruined path.

in my direction I saw the warning on the already walked path across the pasture and closed fence gate

interesting roof of the chapel by the path

view towards Črna prst from the railway station

Yesterday we wanted to visit our home (house) mountain again.
We ascended via planina za Črno goro. We looked at one of the sites of alpine pasqueflower and sadly found that drought and heat didn't spare it, so all specimens were without those wonderful colors, quite faded.
Flowers also on the top of Crna Prst not many anymore. There were quite a few visitors though, of course because of the holiday.
Back we went via planina za Lisec. On the botanical trail we picked up all the signs with flower names and stored them in the hut. Then in pleasant company in the hut spent a nice part of the afternoon nasmeh

Today I went to Crna Prst again. Of course I went with the aim to find alpine pasqueflower and I did find it. No trail leads to the site. I searched for a whole hour.

This time on Črna prst I am not looking for unknown paths. I leave the car at the former Menciger hut and go up the marked path.

First I climb the neighboring hill and explore it botanically - this is the border stone at the top - Rapallo border between Italy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

At the bottom I encounter similar rocks as on Črna prst.

Now to explore the extensive hayfields of Lisca. No path leads up. Searching is strenuous, dangerous and demanding.

Finally I find the habitat. Due to its endangerment, let the habitat remain a secret. Experts of Črna prst - botanists surely know about it. From today there is one more expert.

Flower of the alpine pasqueflower up close - beautiful.

otiv17. 08. 2013 18:24:30

Brane, we weren't far from each other. Maybe I'm wrong, but I saw alpine pasqueflower also on Porezen last year, right near home is the site.
Nice regards! nasmeh

miri17. 08. 2013 18:27:06

@otiv, you're not wrong.

otiv17. 08. 2013 18:30:44

Well, I still have some memories. velik nasmeh

Thanks Miri and best regards! nasmeh

To Crna Prst today from Petrov Brdo: almost a summer path. Snow ca. 20 cm starts only at Planina za Črno goro, but all the way to the top of Crna Prst still soft.

Končna and Grintovec are practically floating

Hello

on Saturday I'd like to climb Crna Prst from the J. Mencinger home, and I ask for some info on path conditions, if anyone went up there in the last days.

Thanks

Today on Crna Prst from Podbrdo. Path dry, only towards the top some small sun-softened snow patches. On the path from the saddle to the hut snow mostly hard to icy. Returned past Orožnova hut on Planina Za Liscem to Bohinjska Bistrica. While on the Primorska side it was real spring, on the Bohinj side winter ruled. Due to frozen snow on the saddle, started descent with crampons, but snow was soft right away, with deep predecessor footprints in it (towards pl. Za Črno goro not trampled). After the steepest part continued with snowshoes, which were useful this time, only when crossing small frozen sections where the track was lost crampons would have been better due to steepness. Otherwise snow different every step. From dry and soft to frozen. To Orožnova hut snow up to 1 m, nicely snow-covered further to the road, on which there was about 10 cm snow, just enough for snowshoes. When the path from the road started descending through the forest, snow ended quickly.

Nice sunny ascent in pleasant warm weather cooled quickly by strong wind on the top. On the Bohinj side the whole path was in shade due to low sun. No frost, because snowshoeing warmed me quickly, views delighted by sun-glistening Triglav and neighbors.
