Leskovica - Koča na Blegošu

Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica. The road soon brings us in the village Kopačnica, behind which it starts ascending steeper and higher brings us to the village Leskovica, where we notice signposts for Blegoš. Signs for Blegoš point us on a narrow and steep road which we then follow to the parking lot at the church.
To the starting point, we can also come from Cerkno.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on at first still asphalt road which with a view on Blegoš and surrounding peaks quickly brings us into the forest. After a good 20 minutes of gentle ascent on the road, we will notice on the left side signposts, which point us on a cart track in the direction of the mountain hut Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih.
Cart track then ascends diagonally a little towards the right and already after few steps it brings us to the spot, where from the right side joins the path from Volaka. We continue on a wide marked path, which higher crosses a torrent stream, by which we are then ascending for some time. The path which is moderately ascending through the forest, soon brings us to a forest road which we only cross.
The path ahead ascends over a smaller stairs and in 5 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked path, which goes in dense spruce forest. Soon from the left joins the path from the village Laze, and we continue slightly right on the path which quickly brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut on Blegoš (left Črni vrh, straight Črni Kal) on a rough road, on which in few minutes we ascend to the mountain hut on Blegoš.
