Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica. The road soon brings us in the village Kopačnica, behind which it starts ascending steeper and higher brings us to the village Leskovica. From Leskovica we continue towards SC Cerkno, and we follow the road only to the next village Laze, where signs for apartment Ribič and Blegoš point us to the right towards the mentioned village. We park good 100 meters higher, by the sports field ŠD Gamsi Laze.
Path description:
Only few meters before sports field we notice the beginning of the marked path which leads on Blegoš. We go on the mentioned path which starts moderately ascending on a wide cart track. Higher, the cart track narrows and it passes into a dense forest, where then after few minutes of additional walking brings us to an unmarked crossing.
We continue on the left unmarked cart track (slightly right Blegoš), which gradually starts ascending a little steeper. Cart track by which we can notice some old faded blaze, higher brings us to a lonely homestead. The path ahead crosses a short lane of a forest and then it brings us on a grassy slope, on which we quickly ascend to the nearby macadam road. We follow the road to the right, and it quickly brings us to some houses. Behind the last house, the road again changes into a cart track, and after a shorter ascent brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue left. Next follows a short crossing towards the left and the path brings us to a saddle Slugov grič, where we again step on a marked path.
On the saddle, we only cross the forest road and we continue the ascent in the direction of Črni vrh. The path ahead is at first moderately, after that quite steeply ascending towards the summit Smoletovše (1300 meters). After a short ascent, we reach the mentioned peak, and the path then starts moderately descending towards the saddle Pretovč. After few minutes of descent through a thin forest and "plantation" of blueberries, we reach the mentioned saddle, where we again cross the forest road. We continue the ascent on a marked path, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Črni vrh, by the edge of which we notice artificial lake, intended for snowmaking.
