Ravne - Konjski vrh (via Črna prst)

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Bled and further towards Bohinjska Bistrica. From Bohinjska Bistrica, continue left in the direction of Tolmin and Soriška planina. Soon we will notice mountain signposts for Črna prst by the road, which point to the right, but we continue straight. Only a little later, we come to a crossroads, where a signpost directs us slightly to the right towards the village of Ravne. Further, we drive past a large parking lot by the former ski slope Kobla, and we follow the asphalt road, which begins to ascend steeply, to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue to drive all the way to the spot where the asphalt ends. At the spot where the asphalt ends, there is a larger parking lot by the inn Janez, where we park on the right side of the parking lot (the parking lot on the left side of the road is intended for guests of the inn Janez).
B) From Železniki or Petrovo Brdo, drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, where before the center of the settlement we turn left in the direction of the settlement Ravne. We follow the road, which begins to ascend steeply, to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue to drive all the way to the spot where the asphalt ends. At the spot where the asphalt ends, there is a larger parking lot by the inn Janez, where we park on the right side of the parking lot (the parking lot on the left side of the road is intended for guests of the inn Janez).

Path description:
From the parking lot at the inn Janez we continue in the direction of Črna prst and mountain hut Orožnova koča, where at first we walk on a macadam road, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Triglav. The road after the initial ascent passes into the forest and turns a little to the left, where we quickly arrive at a marked junction.
From the junction we continue left in the direction of Črna prst, mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro and mountain hut Orožnova koča (straight Bohinjska Bistrica and old path towards Orožnova koča). The path ahead on the right side bypasses a private house (formerly Planinski dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja), then a little further it joins a cart track, on which we continue the ascent. A little higher, at the junction we continue right, then the path continues through the forest. A little further, the path leads past a log cabin and a cross, then we already arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Orožnova koča (left mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro).
The path then crosses slopes a little towards the right, meanwhile also descending more noticeably. When the descent ends, an old path joins us from the right, which is a little shorter but officially no longer marked. This is followed by walking on a forest path, where we cross a few cart tracks; at the marked junction we continue on the right path. A few minutes higher we reach a forest road, which we only cross (right Orožnova koča on log slide).
A relatively steep ascent through the forest follows, higher up a somewhat longer path on the log slide joins from the right.
We continue left and in a few minutes arrive at the mountain hut Orožnova koča on the mountain pasture Planina za Liscem.
From the hut we continue left into the forest moderately upwards. The path ahead slowly transitions from the forest to the slopes below Črna prst. The steepness of the path begins to increase, as does the slope on which we are walking, which becomes steeper and steeper. The already quite steep path brings us below the walls of Črna prst. Next we ascend along the wall upwards, then turn left and cross the gully. Further, in a moderate ascent we cross the slopes towards the east. Just a few meters before the saddle, the path from the mountain pasture Planina za Črno goro joins us. At the saddle we turn right and in ten minutes of scenic walking reach the hut on Črna prst. For the ascent to the summit we must take a few more steps.
From Črna prst we continue westwards in the direction of Rodica, which is about three hours' walk away. The path ahead first leads along a wide grassy ridge, which soon narrows, and the path begins to descend more steeply. After a few minutes of descent, the path from the mountain pasture Osredki joins from the right, but we continue along the left (Primorska) side of the ridge in the direction of Vogel.
After the junction the path becomes more demanding as, with the aid of steel cables (mostly without them), it crosses quite steep grassy slopes that are especially dangerous for slipping when wet. The path then levels out somewhat and brings us to the saddle Vrata (1721 m). After this, the path again withdraws to the left from the ridge and ascends diagonally across the next steep slope. That the path is not entirely easy is indicated by a memorial plaque. The steepness of the slopes then gradually eases and the path approaches the main ridge again (here we can ascend to Četrt in 15 minutes - easy pathless terrain).
We continue westwards along a panoramic ridge, mostly covered with grass, which rises gently towards Konjski vrh, though the marked path merely bypasses it. At the highest point of the traverse, we leave the marked path and via easier pathless terrain ascend to the panoramic Konjski vrh in three minutes.
