Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the nearby NOB monument, then we continue on the road in the direction of Blegoš over Prva ravan. Soon after the sign, the road splits again, and we continue straight (right Koča na Blegošu), on the road across which there is a gate. We continue on the macadam road which is closed to public traffic, and which ascends diagonally. At a smaller right bend a short path to the vantage point and NOB monument branches off to the left, and we continue on the road, from which occasionally a nice view opens up on the surrounding mountains, mainly on Koprivnik and Mladi vrh. When the road flattens, we arrive at Prva ravan, where from the left also marked paths from Jelovica and Čabrač join.
Here at the marked junction we continue right, on a footpath in the direction of Blegoš. After a short ascent, we arrive at the next junctions, where the path to Koča na Blegošu branches off to the left.
We continue in the mentioned direction (straight Blegoš), where further we cross an overgrown clearing, then the path returns into the forest. Next follows traversing mostly southern slopes of Blegoš, then the path turns right, where from the left an unmarked path from Leskovica joins, and to the right an unmarked path to Blegoš branches off.
We continue straight, still on the cart track, which further begins to descend gently. When after a few minutes of further walking we step out of the forest, we already see Koča na Blegošu in front of us, to which only a short walk remains.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2016 (September).
