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 a wider dirt road is reached.
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 left (Orožnova koča on the right).
The cart track turns into a footpath, which leads us a little higher to a forest road, which we follow to the right. Walk along the road for a few steps and then the signs for Črna prst direct you left on a steep path. The ascent continues along the initially relatively steep path, which then leads you past man-made canals that were designed to drain water (the canal was built to prevent water from entering the Bohinj tunnel). Higher up, the path completely flattens out, then climbs moderately to mountain pasture behind Montenegro. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2017 (August).
