Zali Log - Blegoš (via Potok)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, then continue driving towards Železniki and further towards Zali Log. About 100 m before Zali Log, we arrive at a crossroads where the road towards Davča branches off to the left. Here we turn left, cross the bridge over the river Selška Sora and park in a suitable spot by the transformer.
B) We can also reach the starting point from the direction of Tolmin. In this case, first we drive to Podbrdo, then continue driving towards Železniki. At the first crossroads after Zali Log we turn right and then park in a suitable spot by the transformer.

Path description:
At the nearby hayrack by the transformer we notice signs for Blegoš, which direct us onto the road alongside which we have parked. The road initially ascends gently along the Davča river and then leads us through the hamlet Zali Log. In the second part of the hamlet we arrive at a somewhat larger crossroads, where the road towards Davča, the Cerkno ski slope and Cerkno branches off to the right, and we continue straight over the bridge to the NOB monument. At the monument below the power lines a marked cart track branches off slightly to the right (the turn-off is unmarked), which leads to Blegoš (straight along the road to Blegoš over Črni Kal).
The cart track first ascends parallel to the road, then turns right, where it then ascends diagonally through the forest. Higher up, the cart track, which has a few junctions (we follow the rare blazes), levels out and brings us to steep and briefly also panoramic slopes (view of Ratitovec). After a few minutes of easy walking the cart track ascends more steeply again and brings us at the top of the ascent to an asphalt road. When we step onto the road we continue straight ahead, and after a few more minutes of walking we arrive at a few houses in the village Potok. In the middle of the village there is a smaller crossroads, where we continue along the right road in the direction of Blegoš and Črni Kal. Just a little higher we arrive at the next crossroads, where it says Blegoš left and straight. This time we continue straight in the direction of the footpath to Blegoš (left Blegoš access to Črni Kal by car), but we continue the ascent on the asphalt road for a while longer. After a few more minutes of walking the road turns sharply to the right, but at the beginning of this bend a branch of the asphalt road continues straight ahead. Here we continue straight and continue the ascent beside the trickling stream, which we soon reach at its source.
At the source (during high water levels the source is higher) we leave the asphalt road and continue the ascent on a poorer macadam road, which further ascends along the bottom of a torrent gully. Higher up we cross a somewhat wider road, but we walk along it only a few more minutes, as the signs for Blegoš then direct us left onto a cart track, which further ascends beside a side valley. We soon leave this cart track too as the blazes lead us left into the dense forest through which we then ascend along a less beaten path. The poorly visible path ascends moderately to occasionally steeply through the dense forest, but if we always stick to a sort of small valley we cannot stray from the right path, as it ascends beside it the whole time. Higher up we cross a forest road, and just a little higher we join a much better beaten path, which leads from Črni Kal towards the Koča na Blegošu hut. Here we continue right and arrive at the mentioned mountain hut in a few minutes.
From the hut on Blegoš we continue along an initially gentle path, which ascends over a panoramic grassy slope. The path soon begins to ascend more steeply and brings us to the edge of the forest, where it then ascends along a narrow unvegetated strip. The steepness soon eases and the path brings us to the panoramic ridge of Blegoš, along which we ascend to the summit in a few minutes.
