Laze - Koča na Blegošu

Access to starting point:
a) From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of the village Leskovica. The road soon brings us to the village Kopačnica, behind which it starts ascending steeper and brings us higher to the village Leskovica. From Leskovica we continue towards SC Cerkno, and we follow the road only to the next village Laze, where signs for apartment Ribič and Blegoš point us to the right towards the mentioned village. We park a good 100 m higher, by the sports field ŠD Gamsi Laze.
b) We drive to Cerkno, then follow the road in the direction of the ski centre Cerkno and Dolenji Novaki. In Dolenjih Novakih we leave the road that leads to the ski centre and Železnikom and continue driving on the road towards Gorenjim Novakom, Leskovica and Gorenja vasi. We follow the road towards Gorenja vasi or Hotavljam to the settlement Laze, where signs for apartment Ribič and Blegoš direct us left towards the mentioned village. We park a good 100 m higher, by the sports field ŠD Gamsi Laze.

Path description:
Just a few meters before the sports field we notice the beginning of the marked path which leads to Blegoš. We go on the mentioned path which starts moderately ascending on a wide cart track. Higher, the cart track narrows and it passes into a dense forest, where after a few minutes of additional walking it brings us to an unmarked junction.
We continue slightly right (slightly left Črni vrh on an unmarked path) and continue the ascent on a marked cart track. A little further, the cart track temporarily flattens, then starts ascending steeply on slopes of Kovka. Higher, the cart track changes into a footpath, which quickly brings us out of the forest on grassy slopes, where it turns to the right and entirely flattens. Next follows crossing of a larger meadow, then the path returns into the forest, where it ascends gently towards the right. The path ahead leads us past a smaller spring, then after a few minutes of additional walking through the forest, it joins paths from the village Leskovica and Volaka. Next follows a short diagonal ascent and the path brings us to a smaller saddle, where temporarily we step out of the forest.
On the saddle, where there is a marked junction, we continue right in the direction of Koča na Blegošu (left Črni vrh, straight Črni Kal) on a rough road, on which in a few minutes we ascend to Koča na Blegošu.
