Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje (to Hotavlje we can also arrive from the direction of Žiri and Sovodenj), where we turn right in the direction of the village Leskovica and ski center Cerkno. Already after a 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 crossroads, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Volaka. Further, we drive along Volaščica, and we calmly "overlook" all turn-offs to the left and right and we follow the road to the confluence of Volaščica and Javorjeva grapa. At the confluence there is an arranged smaller parking lot, and nearby there are also mountain signposts for Blegoš.
Path description:
At the parking lot we notice signs for Blegoš, which direct us onto a steep road that ascends among nearby houses. At the last house, the road ends, and we continue the ascent on the right of two cart tracks. The cart track ahead ascends diagonally above Volaščica, then, only a little after we have crossed the grassy slope, it brings us to an unmarked junction, where we continue on the right marked path (slightly left spring of Volaščica and village Leskovica - unmarked path). The path higher transitions to an old mule track, along which we ascend diagonally across relatively steep, forest-covered slopes. Higher, over a wooden footbridge we cross a steep gully, then the path steeply ascends for a short time. The path ahead soon flattens, then brings us in a moderate ascent to the nearby road which comes from Leskovica.
Above the road we notice signs for Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih, which direct us right onto a somewhat more rutted cart track. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which temporarily steeply ascends. Higher we cross a streamlet, the path behind it gradually flattens and after a few minutes of further 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 junction ahead the markings end, and we walk along the road for a few more minutes. After a shorter crossing the road first turns quite to the left, then we leave it in the middle of a longer bend, in a sort of torrent valley, and continue on the cart track which continues along the bottom of the valley and soon turns right. In continuation we ascend for some time along the cart track which ascends through the forest, at a few smaller junctions we follow the better-trodden path. Higher we leave the cart track and continue following the signs of the UPT 100 km trail. A few minutes of steep ascent follow, then we reach the marked path which leads from Prva ravan towards Koča na Blegošu, and we only cross the mentioned cart track path and continue straight in the direction of the summit Blegoš.
Although the branch-off is marked, the path ahead is also not marked, but it is well-trodden and orientationally relatively easy. A little higher we also cross a pasture fence and the path brings us out of the forest onto the grassy slopes of Blegoš, along which with ever better views in a few minutes we ascend to the summit.
