Route description:
From Ribniška koča we head on the path in the direction of Jezerski vrh and Ribniško jezero and initially walk on the road by which we arrived at the starting point and which leads us in a gentle descent to the saddle between Mali Črni vrh and Jezerski vrh. At the saddle, where parking is also possible, we leave the road and head onto the marked footpath, which first gently, then more steeply ascends to the monument on Jezerski vrh, which we reach in approximately 10 minutes of increasingly panoramic ascent.
