Zali Log - Koprivnik

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and forward towards Zali Log. About 100 meters before Zali Log, we will get to a crossroad, where the road towards Davča branches off to the left. Here we turn left, we cross the bridge over the river Selška Sora and we park on an appropriate place by the transformer.
B) To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of Tolmin. In this case, at first we drive in Podbrdo, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. In the first crossroad after Zali Log we turn right and then we park on an appropriate place by the transformer.

Path description:
On nearby hayrack by the transformer we notice signs for Blegoš, which point us on the road by which we've parked. The road is at first ascending gently by the river Davča and then leads us through the hamlet Zali Log. In the second part of the hamlet we come on a little bigger crossroad, where a road towards Davča, ski slope Cerkno and Cerkno branches off to the right, and we continue straight over a bridge to NOB monument. At the monument below the power line marked cart track branches off slightly to the right (turn off is unmarked), which leads on Blegoš (Blegoš over Potok), and we continue straight on an asphalt road which is further moderately ascending by the stream Muštrova grapa. After few minutes of additional walking, we get to a smaller crossroad, where signs for hiking path and homestead Pr' Muster and Pr' Dobret point us to the left on a narrower road which gradually starts ascending steeper. A little higher asphalt road turns sharply left towards the farm Pr' Muster, and we continue slightly right on a macadam road which in few hairpin turns steeply ascends to the farm Pr' Dobret.
From the mentioned farm we continue left on a cart track which ascends through a panoramic grassy meadow. When we reach the edge of the forest we continue right and with a view on Ratitovec and surrounding hills we walk to the spot, where the marked path (cart track) turns left in the forest. Next, we ascend on for a short time steep cart track which soon flattens, and then it several times splits. (To not go astray on the crossings, we carefully follow otherwise rare blazes).
From the spot, when the cart track flattens for some time we cross the slopes towards the left and then we steeper ascend on a cart track, on which we quickly get to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we go right and we continue on a cart track which at first ascends on a smaller ridge, higher few times splits (we follow the blazes), and then passes on the left side of the nearby hill (Mrzli peak). A little further, the path brings us to the farm Mrznikar, from where we continue the ascent on a cart track, that starts at the nearby chapel. Further, we cross a panoramic slope, and then the path passes into the forest, through which it continues to an asphalt road at homestead Čemšišar. From here we go in the direction of Blegoš and Koprivnik and we continue on the forest road. And after few 10 meters of walking on the mentioned road, we get to a marked crossing, where we continue left on a cart track in the direction of Koprivnik and Romovec (right Blegoš). We continue the ascent on a cart track which quickly brings us to a water storage, which we bypass on the right side. The path ahead gradually starts ascending steeper and all the time with exception of few short marked shortcuts leads on a cart track. On the top of the ascent, the path brings us on the saddle between Koprivnik on the left and Romovec on the right.
Here on the saddle, where there is also an inscription box and next to it a bigger bench, we go left (right Romovec, Črni Kal and Blegoš) and we continue on a cart track, to which already after few meters from the right joins the marked path from Žetina.
We follow the cart track in the direction of Koprivnik (right downwards Žetina), and it gradually starts ascending steeper. At the spot, where the cart track gets overgrown by high grass, we will on the right side notice at first a poorly visible, but marked footpath which from the cart track branches off to the right. Further, we are ascending on at first a very dense forest, on the path which higher brings us on partly panoramic slopes, from which a view opens up on the nearby Blegoš. A little further, the steepness decreases and the path through the site of blueberries quickly brings us to the summit of Koprivnik.
