Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and then towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. Soon we will notice signs for Črno prst on the right by the road, but we continue straight. A little later we come to a junction, where a signpost directs us right towards the village Ravne. Turn onto this road, which brings us to the end of the village, where the asphalt ends. Further, continue on a macadam road which leads past the former home of Dr. Janez Mencinger (today a private house). Follow this road for approximately 4 km to the spot where a worse forest road joins from the right side (nearby is a hunting observatory, numerous cart tracks and a mountain signpost for Črno prst). Park on one of several smaller parking lots by the road, in such a way that we do not hinder forestry work (timber hauling).
Path description:
Due to forestry works and the consequent numerous tractor tracks, the start of the path is relatively hard to find. Between the hunting observatory and the mountain signpost for Črno prst there are three larger cart tracks which from the road head left uphill (direction of our approach). Choose the "first", i.e. the one closest to the hunting observatory (the mountain sign for Črno prst directs to the "last" cart track, but if we follow the direction of this sign, we will quickly go astray).
So if we have chosen the ascent along the "first" cart track, we will notice the blazes after just a few minutes of ascent (the path comes transversely from the "last" cart track and is completely overgrown). We then follow the wide tractor tracks somewhat to the left, but only to the spot where the blazes direct us right onto a somewhat narrower cart track. Further on, orientation is much easier, as the labyrinth of cart tracks ends. Along an occasionally somewhat steeper path, a marked path to Orožnova koča soon branches off to the left.
Continue straight along the cart track, which higher up leads to a small valley, up which we ascend to a forest road (about 30 minutes to here). When we step onto the road, continue a few steps to the left, then the mountain sign for Črno prst directs us right into the forest, where it starts to ascend steeply. The path somewhat higher crosses an overgrown clearing (ferns and raspberry bushes) and then returns to the forest, continuing all the way to the mountain pasture Osredki.
From the mountain pasture, where there are two smaller wooden huts (one converted into a bivouac), continue along the left side of the watering trough on a poorly visible path that begins to ascend moderately among bushes and individual trees. The still poorly visible but well-marked path then brings us higher to a somewhat larger meadow, at the edge of which we notice the next pond. The path then ascends ever more steeply and slowly turns to the left. At the top of the ascent, we reach a small saddle, behind which the path turns right and ascends transversely. A few more minutes of ascent follow on a slope overgrown with dwarf pines, and the path brings us to the main ridge of the Lower Bohinj Mountains.
From the ridge, from where a beautiful view opens to the south, continue right towards Vogel (left to Črno prst 10 minutes). The path ahead becomes more demanding as, with the aid of fixed cables (mostly without them), it crosses very steep grassy slopes that are dangerous for slipping. The path then levels out somewhat and brings us to the Vrata saddle (1721 m). The path then withdraws from the ridge to the left again and ascends transversely over the next steep slope. That the path is not entirely easy is indicated by a memorial plaque. The steepness of the slopes gradually eases, and the path approaches the main ridge again (from here we can ascend to Četrt in 15 minutes – easy pathless terrain).
Continue along the panoramic, mostly grass-covered ridge (to the west), which gently ascends towards Konjski vrh, bypassing it on the left side. After that, the path descends slightly and brings us to an indistinct saddle between Konjski vrh and Poljanski vrh.
At this indistinct saddle, leave the marked path and ascend on easier pathless terrain in 10 minutes to the grass-covered Poljanski vrh.
In fog, it will be hard to find the true summit.
