From Tolmin, we drive to Most na Soči. Here, turn left and follow the road to Bača pri Modreju, where you turn left again toward the village of Podbrdo and follow the road for about 22 km all the way to that village. Park in the parking lot next to the retirement home.

We head back on foot along the road we came from. We stay on the road until a gently ascending road branches off to the right toward Trtnik. We continue along the road past a few houses, after which a narrow path branches off to the right toward Črna prst, where a signpost will also direct us. We follow the path past a water trough, and the path soon rejoins the road. Follow the road to the first possible left turn, where you turn left and, after about 10 meters, climb up to the yard of a house. Here, we’ll see a sign for Črna prst, which directs us down the steps next to the house onto a grassy path. Following the steeply ascending path, we climb across the meadow to a small grove; behind it, we turn slightly to the left and, after a few dozen meters, join a well-maintained forest trail that begins to climb moderately. A longer walk along this trail follows, leading us to the Kalarsko Saddle. Here, we turn left and head straight along the trail that leads back into the forest. The trail is flat at first but later begins to climb moderately. Further on, the trail becomes increasingly difficult to see. When we reach the ruins of the houses, we find the trail between the two houses and head directly toward the summit, which is only a few minutes’ walk away.
