Access to the starting point:
From Železniki drive to Tolmin or vice versa, and follow the road to Petrovo Brdo, where you can park at the parking lot next to the Petrovo Brdo mountain hut. The mountain lodge is located in the immediate vicinity of the crossroads where the road to Soriška mountain pasture branches off.
Path description:
At the mountain lodge, we see signs for Črna prst, which direct us to a very steep path. After a short steep climb, we come to a wide cart track, which we follow to the right and which quickly leads us to a torrential stream. The marked cart track soon turns slightly to the left and then climbs quite steeply through the forest. After about half an hour's walk, you will come to the mountain signposts where the crossroads is marked.
Continue in the route Črna prst (Kup and Podbrdo to the left) and follow the ascending cart track, which turns to the right at a higher altitude and becomes completely flat. After a few minutes of further walking, leave cart track and continue the ascent on the marked footpath. After a short climb, the path flattens out a little and leads to an old but well-preserved mulatier. The ascent continues on the aforementioned mulatier, which leads us through the forest and some ravines to Lovčev bivak Pri Koucah (the Hunter's bivouac is only the name of the hut and it is not possible to bivouac there).
Just 10 m before the hut, there is a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Lajnar and Soriška mountain pasture. The path, which is not marked, continues along the old mulatier, which quickly leads us out of the forest, where we cross relatively steep slopes. Higher up, the path passes into the lane of the forest, where it turns sharply to the left. Follow this well-traced and increasingly scenic route, which makes some serpentines higher up, all the way to the main ridge, where there is a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, cross the grazing fence (there is a nice passage over the fence if you go a few steps to the right) and then continue left along the lookout ridge (before the fence, a path leads off to the left, bypassing the south-eastern peak Slatnik and leading on towards Možic, and straight ahead Soriška planina to the right leads to Lajnar and Dravh).
Higher up, the ridge trail retreats slightly to the right, where it crosses grassy slopes from which a fine view opens up towards Soriška mountain pasture. A little further on, we return to the ridge, where we continue sharp left along an easier trackless path, after which, within a minute or two of further walking, we reach the summit, on which there is a stamp attached to a metal pole.
