Ravne - Planina Za Črno goro

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, 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 trail markers for Črna prst by the road, which point to the right, but we continue straight. Only a little later we come to a junction, where a signpost directs us slightly right towards the village of Ravne. Further, we drive past a large parking lot by the ski slope Kobla; we follow the asphalt road, which starts to ascend steeply, to Ravne, where the road flattens. Here we continue driving 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).

Route 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 get to 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 (used to be mountain hut Planinski dom dr. Janeza Mencingerja), after that a little ahead it joins a cart track, on which we continue to ascend. A little higher, at the junction we continue right, and then the path continues through the forest. Even a little further, the path leads past a log cabin and a cross, and then we already get to a marked junction, where we continue left (right Orožnova koča).
Further, the cart track changes into a footpath, which a little higher brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the right. We walk a few steps on the road, and then signs for Črna prst direct us left onto a steep path. We continue the ascent on an initially relatively steep path, which further leads us past man-made channels intended for water drainage (the channel was built to prevent water ingress into the Bohinj tunnel). Higher, the path temporarily flattens completely, and then moderately ascends to the mountain pasture Planina Za Črno goro.
