Access to starting point:
From Tolmin or Škofja Loka we drive to the village of Podbrdo (up to here it is also possible by train or car train from Bohinjska Bistrica), where in the center of the village a road branches off towards the village of Bača. The asphalted road, which soon becomes very narrow, starts to climb steeply and takes us to a junction. At the junction we turn left onto a gravel road, which at first descends and then starts to climb again. The still very narrow road takes us to the fence at the Kocenpohar farm. There are no designated parking spaces for hikers at the starting point.
Route description:
From the parking lot we continue along the steep road to the fence, which we cross, and on the other side we reach the meadow at the farm. We continue on the left side of the house at the farm, further along the poorer road. Our path crosses the fence again and then descends slightly to a stream, where there is a junction of two cart tracks. We turn onto the left steep cart track, which crosses the stream and after a short ascent takes us to a small clearing at the dilapidated farm.
Further on we turn right onto the cart track that goes into the forest and climbs moderately. After 15 minutes from the dilapidated farm the cart track takes us to a forest road. We follow this road all the way to Sedlo, where the path from the village of Kal joins us (the road has a shorter shortcut along the marked path).
At Sedlo we turn onto the path marked for Črna prst. At first a gentle path soon starts to climb steeply along the steep wooded western slope. After some time the path takes us to an indistinct ridge and continues along the eastern slope. When the path takes us back to the ridge a beautiful view opens up. A small bench is also placed here, offering a well-deserved rest. The path continues again into the forest and continues to climb quite steeply. Soon the path approaches a viewpoint, which is only a few steps away from the path. After the viewpoint the path soon leaves the forest and enters the grassy slopes of Črna prst. Along the path, which becomes increasingly scenic, there is a lot of mountain flora. Since we are climbing sunny slopes, the ascent in the middle of the day is very strenuous, so it is better to set off early. The path becomes somewhat less steep and takes us to the saddle Čez suha, where a beautiful view of the Bohinj side opens up.
Here at the junction we turn left and in ten minutes reach the hut on Črna prst. From the hut to the summit, where the viewpoint plaque stands, we have only a few steps.
Kocenpohar - Sedlo 45 minutes, Sedlo - Črna prst 2:00.
Along the route: Sedlo (985m)

The path is suitable for the upcoming autumn days when there is already snow in the high mountains.

Really clearly described path. You simply can't miss it. Only the road junction to that farm I didn't find right away.
Otherwise nice path and even nicer stroll

From the Primorska side it's snow-free.

I'm interested if this is the path along which Ivan Anderle's mountain run to Črna prst takes place. I plan to participate in the race on Saturday and wonder if I'm looking at photos of the right track?

The lower part follows a different track, from Sedlo (985 m) onwards the path is the same as in the pictures.
Here the paths join.

1. On Saturday 17.10. my husband and I went to Črna prst from Kocenpohar. About 10-15 minutes above the farm (picture 8) they were making a new road section. Where the marked entrance to the forest path used to be, there is now a 2m high sandy embankment, so we didn't find the entrance. At the newly created intersection there are no markings, so we went right on the new road and reached Sedlo by road. From there onwards it's marked and there are signs. Judging by the parked vehicles, Sedlo is reachable by car (from Kala?).
2. The owner of Kocenpohar farm is not enthusiastic about vehicles on the private road from the asphalt to the farm. The road is for one vehicle, there are passing places, but they are too narrow in case of meeting a truck or tractor with trailer (they deal with logging and transport). To avoid ill will on both sides, I recommend other starting points.

Correction: at the newly created intersection there are no markings, so we went LEFT on the new road (not right) and reached Sedlo by road. (apologies)

Winter access along the summer path from the village Kal nad Stržiščem is currently trodden. The upper part of the path was windy yesterday, at times stormy, but the view exceptional. Ice axe and crampons came in handy.

Can someone tell me what the purpose of that puddle at Zorka Jelinčič's hut is? Probably not natural since it's on top of the hill, or is it? Hm strange thing

I wondered the same when I was on Črna prst this year, but I don't know the answer. The only thing that came to mind was that maybe sometimes a sheep strays up from the coastal side .

This forest road is currently drivable, if I had known earlier I would have left the car in the valley even that small parking spot before the stream is questionable. You never know what flies from that steep slope, the parking spot is deep below Kobla.
