Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road, above which is writen "from here ahead we walk on foot". Right at mentioned caption, signs for Blegoš point us to the right on a wide footpath, on which in few steps we ascend to a forest road. We follow the road to the right, and we walk there for quite some time. After approximately half an hour of walking, we leave the road and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu. The path soon gets very close to the road, and then turns a little towards the left, where it starts ascending steeper and steeper. Higher from the right joins the path from the village Potok, and we continue straight on the path which flattens a little, after that over a grazing fence in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a gently sloping path, which crosses panoramic grassy slope after which the path goes in a short lane of a forest and ascends steeper. After few minutes of walking, the steepness decreases and the path out of the forest brings us on the upper unvegetated slopes of Blegoš. Then we follow a panoramic path to the top of Blegoš.
