Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje. Here signs for ski center point us to the right. At the next crossroads, we follow the road in the direction of the mentioned ski slope and the road then brings us to a large parking lot Počivalo. We continue through the parking lot on the road which starts descending and it quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue right upwards. We follow the road ahead to the next large parking lot named Tuškov Grič.
Access from Cerkno: We drive through Novaki towards the ski center Cerkno to the parking lot Tuškov Grič.
From Železniki over Davča we drive to ski center Cerkno. We park on a parking lot Tuškov Grič.
Path description:
Near the parking lot, we notice mountain signposts, which point us on the path in the direction of Blegoš and Črni vrh. The path at first ascends diagonally through a meadow, after that goes into the forest, where it is moderately ascending. After approximately 15 minutes, we come to a forest road which quickly brings us out of the forest to a ski slope Cerkno (while the ski slope operates, walking on a ski slope is forbidden). We then continue an ascent on a rough road which leads us on a ski slope upwards and a little higher brings us to a crossing. We continue on the left road which leads directly on Črni vrh (direction Blegoš) or on the right road which in 5 minutes brings us to the mountain hut on Črni vrh and from there ascend on the nearby Črni vrh. Both paths little higher joins and gently sloping road which past numerous cableways in few minutes of additional walking brings us on Črni vrh.
From Črni vrh we continue on a marked path, which on the other side of the lake descends to the edge of the forest. Here blazes point us to the right on descending footpath, on which we walk to the near road. When we come to a macadam road which we only cross and we continue on a wide cart track which after a short descent starts lightly ascending. The mentioned cart track we quickly leave and we continue slightly right on a marked footpath. The path ahead quickly passes into a little thinner forest through which by "plantation" of blueberries, we ascend on an indistinct peak Smoletovše (1300 meters).
From the mentioned summit path starts moderately, and soon also steeply descending towards the saddle Slugov grič. On the saddle, we step on the forest road, and from the right join paths from the village Laze and Robidnica. We continue in the direction of Blegoš and we continue on the forest road which we follow only few 10 meters, because then blazes point us right on a marked path, which is further ascending on a cart track. Cart track, which has quite a few crossings, and which are mostly relatively well-marked, higher flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a macadam road. We continue on the mentioned road, and it quickly brings us to a marked crossing, where from the right side join paths from Volaka, Leskovica and Laze.
We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu and we still continue the ascent on the forest road. After a good 10 minutes from marked crossing we step out of the forest, where in front of us we notice a mountain hut Koča na Blegošu, and to there separates us only few steps of easy walking.
