Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the nearby NOB monument, and then we continue on the road in the direction of Blegoš over Prva ravan. Soon after the sign, the road once again splits, and we continue straight (right mountain hut Koča na Blegošu), on the road over which there is a gate. We continue on a macadam road which is closed for public traffic, and which is ascending diagonally. On smaller right turn short path to the vantage point and NOB monument branches off to the left, and we continue on the road, from which occasionally a nice view opens up on surrounding mountains, mainly on Koprivnik and Mladi vrh. When the road flattens, we get to Prva ravan, where from the left join also marked paths from Jelovica and Čabrače.
Here at the marked crossing we continue right, on a footpath in the direction of Blegoš. After a short ascent, we get to the next crossing, where the path towards the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu branches off to the left.
We continue in the mentioned direction (straight Blegoš), where 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.
