Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje (to Hotavlje we can get to also from the direction of Žiri and Sovodenj), where we turn right in the direction of village Leskovica and ski center Cerkno. Already after few 100 meters, we leave the road which leads towards the village Leskovica and we continue driving right in the direction of Blegoš and factory Marmor Hotavlje. Further, we drive past the mentioned factory and quarry, and then we come to the next crossroad, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Volaka. Further, we drive by Volaščica, and all turn-offs to the left and right "we overlook" and we follow the road to a confluence of the rivers Volaščica and Javorjeva grapa. By the confluence of the rivers is settled a smaller parking lot, and nearby are situated also signposts for Blegoš.
Path description:
By the parking lot we notice signs for Blegoš, which point us on a steep road which ascends among nearby houses. At the last house, the road ends, and we continue the ascent on the right from two cart tracks. Cart track ahead is ascending diagonally above Volaščica, after that, only a little after we crossed grassy slope, brings us to an unmarked crossing, where we continue on the right marked path (slightly left source Volaščica and village Leskovica - unmarked path). The path higher passes on an old mule track, on which we are ascending diagonally over relatively steep, with a forest covered slopes. Higher through a small wooden bridge we cross steep gully, and then the path for a short time steeply ascends. The path ahead soon flattens, and then in a moderate ascent brings us to the near road which comes from Leskovica.
Above the road we notice signs for mountain hut Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih, which point us to the right, on a little more rough cart track. Cart track soon changes into a footpath, and for some time it steeply ascends. Higher, we cross a stream and the path behind it gradually flattens and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right (straight Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih, Koča na Blegošu and Blegoš).
From the crossing ahead blazes ends, and we walk on the road for few more minutes. After a shorter crossing, the road at first turns quite to the left and then in the middle of a longer turn, in some sort of torrent valley we leave it and we continue on a cart track which continues on the bottom of the valley and soon turns right. Further, we are ascending for some time on a cart track which is ascending through the forest, at few smaller crossings we follow the better beaten path. Higher, we leave the cart track and we continue by following the signs for route UPT 100 km. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, and then we reach a marked path which leads from Prva ravan towards the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu, and mentioned cart track we only cross and we continue straight in the direction of the summit Blegoš.
Even though a turn-off is marked, the path ahead isn't marked, but it is well beaten and orientationally relatively easy. A little higher we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us out of the forest, on grassy slopes of Blegoš, where with increasingly beautiful views in few minutes we ascend to the summit.
