Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Železniki and forward towards Zali Log. Soon after Železniki, we will notice signs for village Martinj vrh, which point us to the left on an ascending road which starts ascending by the stream Zadnja Smoleva. After a short ascent, we come to a crossroad, where we continue right on the road which in few hairpin turns steeply ascends, and then it brings us to the next crossroad. We continue left (right Javh and Pučar) on the road which past separate farms brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply right in the direction of farm Bendišč and Čemšišar. Further, we drive past the mentioned farms and the road quickly brings us to bigger quarry, where it ends. We can park already a little lower on one of the parking lots by the road.
Path description:
At the end of the road, we will notice at first gentle marked path (on maps mentioned path isn't drawn), which crosses relatively steep slopes of Romovec. Already after few steps of walking, we run into the first steel cable, with the help of which we cross steep and in wet for slipping dangerous slope. A little after steel cable path turns to the left and for a short time steeply ascends. Further, the steepness decreases and the path turns to the right, where after few additional strides, it brings us to other steel cable, with the help of which in a diagonal ascent we ascend over very steep slope. The path then again flattens and it brings us to an old military bunker, which is situated above smaller precipice.
Bunker we bypass on the left side, and then the path descends on an exposed ledge (great risk of slipping). Behind the ledge path widens, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a large parking lot on Črni Kal.
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 which already after few meters crosses a forest road which runs towards the mountain hut on Blegoš.
We continue on a footpath which starts to ascend steeply through the forest. Higher still steep path brings us on vegetated northeastern ridge of Blegoš, on which we are then ascending for quite some time. The path ahead leads us past old military bunker, above which we soon come to mini vantage point, from which a beautiful view opens up on the nearby Ratitovec.
At the vantage point steepness decreases and the path after 5 minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest on a small indistinct saddle between Špik (1538 meters) on the left and Blegoš on the right. Here the path turns slightly to the right and after few additional strides, it brings us on panoramic upper ridge. Next follows only a short walk past old military tunnels to the top of Blegoš, which we reach after few 10 strides of additional walking.
