Path description:
From Jelovška cesta 10 continue south-west, where after a few metres you will see the mountain markers for Črna prst. From the houses, the path turns to cart track, which will take you up to the WWI military cemetery of Ribro in a few minutes. A waymarked path bypasses the cemetery on the right and then leads across an expansive meadow where, a few minutes further on, you join the slightly wider cart track. Continue slightly left, then a few 10 metres ahead cross a dirt road where the initially distinct cart track gradually begins to climb. Higher up, at the fork cart track, take the right-hand fork, with the old markers for Črna prst alongside, and from this fork, slightly higher up, take another slight right onto a footpath which begins to climb more steeply. Keep climbing along the fairly sparse waymarks, then on a small mown meadow reach cart track, which is followed to the left, and in a few steps reach a wider dirt road.
When you reach the road, continue left downhill past the markings Črna prst (right old path towards Orožno's cottage), and a few 10 steps lower, at a marked crossroads, turn right in the direction of Črna prst, mountain pasture for Črna gora and Orožno's cottage. The path continues along the right-hand side, passing a private house (formerly the Dr. Janez Mencinger's Mountain Home), and then joins cart track a little further on, after which the ascent continues. A little higher, at a crossroads, continue right, and then the path continues through the forest. A little further on, the path leads past a log cabin and a cross, and then you arrive at a marked crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Orožnove hut (left mountain pasture after Črna gora).
The path continues crossing the slopes slightly to the right, and in between it also descends more visibly. When the descent ends, the old path joins us from the right, slightly shorter but no longer officially marked. Walk along the forest path, crossing a few tracks, and at a marked crossroads continue on the right path. A few minutes higher, you reach a forest road, which you just cross (Orožnova koča on the right). A relatively steep climb through the forest follows, and a slightly longer path joins us from the right.
Continue left and in a few minutes you will reach Orožnov's hut at mountain pasture behind Lisec.
From the hut, continue in the direction Črna prst, following the path into the forest, which initially follows the botanical trail. After an initial climb, the path quickly descends, then climbs cross-climbing to the right, and occasionally descends a little. Higher up, the botanical trail turns right, and we continue on the marked trail, which gradually becomes steeper, and by the time we reach it, it has already left the forest. The ascent follows the slopes of Črna prst, where the path becomes more rocky and for a short time also quite steep. The steepness quickly eases and the path turns left, where it climbs a short, rather steep slope, then the path and the slope lay down, and we arrive just a little further on at a marked crossroads, where we join the path with mountain pasture for Črna gora and the path with Soriška mountain pasture for Črna gora and the path with Soriška mountain pasture.
Continue to the right and in a few steps climb up to the saddle Čez Suho, from where a beautiful view opens up to the south.
Here, continue right in the direction Črna prst and climb along and over the ridge. The path quickly descends to the slopes, where it climbs gently up the fairly steep grassy slopes. A little further on, the path turns slightly right and ascends to the Zorko Jelinčič Home on the Black Prsts.
Go around the house on the left and climb steeply to the top of Črna prsti in a minute.
