Čabrače - Koča na Blegošu

Access to starting point:
A) From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica and ski center Cerkno. Only a little further, we come to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Volaka and Čabrače. Further, we drive past the factory Marmor Hotavlje and behind it we come to a crossroad, where we continue left (direction Volaka and Čabrače). After few meters of additional driving, we drive to the beginning of the village Volaka, we drive a little further to the spot, where a road towards the village Čabrače branches off to the right. We go on this road which starts to ascend steeply towards the mentioned village. Only a little behind the church in the village we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue on the right upper road in the direction of farm Likar. From here we drive for approximately 200 meters and then we will on the left side of the road notice an appropriate space for parking.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which after a short ascent brings us to the farm Likar. Behind the houses of the mentioned farm asphalt ends and the road brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Blegoš (signpost we will notice on the right side on a smaller building). The mentioned road, we follow approximately 5 minutes, and then we continue right on a cart track which in few steps it brings us by the edge of grazing meadow (to here possible also by the edge of a meadow).
Here we notice a mountain signpost for Blegoš, which points us left on narrow and steep footpath which ascends by the edge of the pasture. The path ahead crosses a lane of bushes, and then it brings us on panoramic and with grass covered south ridge of Blegoš. Further, we are ascending on the mentioned slope, by which we notice quite a few old military bunker. Higher, the path gradually passes into the forest and after few minutes of additional ascent brings us to Prva ravan (1289 meters), where it also flattens.
We continue slightly left on the path which at first slightly ascends, and then starts descending. During light descent path bypasses bigger bunker, behind which we step on the forest road, and it quickly brings us to other wider road, where there is also a marked crossing.
We continue straight (right Jelovica, left Jelenci) on the road, from which soon the path on Blegoš branches off to the left (turn-off is marked).
We go on the mentioned path which leads into a dense forest and after few minutes brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu (straight Blegoš).
We then cross an overgrown clearing, and then the path returns into the forest. Next follows traversing of mostly southern slopes of Blegoš, and then the path turns right, where from the left joins an unmarked path from Leskovica, and to the right an unmarked path branches on Blegoš.
We continue straight, still on a cart track which then starts gently descending. When after few minutes of additional walking, we step out of the forest, in front of us we already see the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu, to which we have only a short walk.
