When Christmas Day was already tipping into the second half, we finally set off from home... to shake off a bit of the potica  and "unstick" our teenagers from the computer  .... a nice sunset was promising, so we went to see it from Blegoš... From Črnega Kala directly to the summit, up there quite windy, pulling warm clothes from backpacks to last until sunset  (yes, if anyone saw our backpacks, they probably thought we were going at least for two days  ). Beautiful views all around, sunset downright fairy-tale... after feasting our eyes on the beauty and the sun finally "sinks", we head to the hut where we eat Christmas lunch or dinner... whatever it was around five in the afternoon, then by headlamp light along the road to the car. It was beautiful and exciting to see our "princesses" whom it's hard to get out of the warm room into the cold, enjoying it indescribably and sincerely, and at the end even thanking for the nice experience
Although we enjoyed it zeeeelooo much, we nostalgically remembered past winter ascents to Blegoš when there was snow up to the knees and over and spruces bending branches under snow weight... Today short sections of the path were bare, mostly still some snow, hard and icy, so our "crampons" greatly eased walking... of course possible without, just the step isn't so relaxed...

"Ok, I'll go to Blegoš" I said to myself at lunch. Weather inviting, views will be there, just the right summit for today. Somehow I set a goal to be up there at least 15x this year . That's not that many times.
Anyway, I went along the road, since the ridge path is quite icy. Well, you won't believe it, the road is no better. Gotta be careful, or you end up on your butt like me sometimes. Warm at the hut, even though it was 4 pm. See two coming from summit to hut. Hoping the track is well made and not too icy, I slowly start climbing to the top. Exchange few words with older couple, then each their way. Starts blowing stronger , but still bearable. Wherever I look, enchanted, sky above without a single cloud. Many would say it's almost kitschy. Three of us at summit. Wind blowing with incredible force, really miss my windstopper gloves . Look around at peaks that don't leave me cold. Little sun already losing power, means time to go down. And I'm freezing so much, better to go. Sign the book, but with huge difficulty. Hands so cold I could hardly feel the pencil. On ridge meet last hiker of the day. Says he'll just turn at top and return to valley. I go around hut, then quick to start point. Natural light ok, no need for headlamp. At start still windy, so I soon head home too. It was nice and can't wait to return. Meanwhile go to Koprivnik too.

Yesterday went on foot from Hotavl up to the summit, icy. Would put some pic up but wondering where I gotta do something here.
Cheers

Yes, it really is. On trodden paths quite icy. So walk more on the edge and carefully!

Hi,
path to Črni kal surely plowed if starting from that direction, track onwards also surely made as some locals compete who goes to Blegoš summit more times...
Safe steps and many nice views

Somehow managed to get the car today, so first thought was to go to Blegoš. As @užitkar wrote, path to Črni kal nicely plowed and nowhere icy.
Went up the path (kinda scared of that ridge path because of sinking-blown snow), and it was really nice. After an hour of walking I was at the hut, which is open. Path to summit pretty trampled, but here and there it sinks a bit. Well, if motivated, you just keep going up. But in drifts snow is over the knees. At summit warm, wouldn't lie if I said I could be just in a t-shirt. And no wind. What more could one want? Snow blown by wind, but the remaining is icy. Views as always beautiful. Some came after me, so there was company. Otherwise returned straight down to Prva ravan (past bunkers), there drifted snow about 30 cm. To the car 50 min, path well trodden.
To all thinking of ascent to Blegoš, don't delay, just go. Worth it.

Another nice afternoon hike. From Črni Kal directly to the summit. The path in the lower part muddy and a bit icy but soon you reach snow. The summit was deserted in the afternoon hours. Return past the hut and along the road back to the starting point.

Hi!
Has anyone maybe walked from Martinj vrh to Blegoš in the last days?
Interested if there's still any snow on the path or if it's completely dry? Is the road to the quarry normally drivable?

| katty28. 03. 2012 10:51:33 |
I think it's all dry. I haven't been there yet. But today going to Blegoš, straight along the ridge path from Črni Kal.

katty then please report how the road from the hut to Črnega Kala is. If there's still any snow or ice.
