Leskovica - Koča na Blegošu

Access to starting point:
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 to ascend more steeply and brings us higher to the village Leskovica, where we notice signposts for Blegoš. Signs for Blegoš direct us onto a narrow and steep road, which we then follow to the parking lot at the church.
To the starting point we can also come from Cerkno.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the initially still asphalted road, which with a view of Blegoš and surrounding peaks quickly brings us into the forest. After a good 20 minutes of gentle ascent along the road, we will notice signposts on the left side, which direct us onto a cart track in the direction of the shelter of the mountain guard at Jelencih.
The cart track then ascends diagonally somewhat to the right and already after a few steps brings us to the place where the path from Volaka joins from the right. We continue on the wide marked path, which higher crosses a torrent stream, along which we then ascend for some time. The path, which moderately ascends through the forest, soon brings us to a forest road, which we only cross.
The path ahead ascends over small steps and in 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the shelter of the mountain guard at Jelencih.
From the shelter we continue on the marked path, which goes into dense spruce forest. Soon the path from the village Laze joins from the left, but we continue slightly to the right on the path, which quickly brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest we continue right in the direction of the hut on Blegoš (left Črni vrh, straight Črni Kal) on a poor road, along which we ascend to the hut on Blegoš in a few minutes.
