Zali Log - Blegoš (via Črni Kal)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki and forward towards Zali Log. About 100 meters before Zali Log, we will get to a crossroad, where the road towards Davča branches off to the left. Here we turn left, we cross the bridge over the river Selška Sora and we park on an appropriate place by the transformer.
B) To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of Tolmin. In this case, at first we drive in Podbrdo, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. In the first crossroad after Zali Log we turn right and then we park on an appropriate place by the transformer.

Path description:
On nearby hayrack by the transformer we notice signs for Blegoš, which point us on the road by which we've parked. The road is at first ascending gently by the river Davča and then leads us through the hamlet Zali Log. In the second part of the hamlet we come on a little bigger crossroad, where a road towards Davča, ski slope Cerkno and Cerkno branches off to the right, and we continue straight over a bridge to NOB monument. At the monument below the power line marked cart track branches off slightly to the right (turn off is unmarked), which leads on Blegoš (Blegoš over Potok), and we continue straight on an asphalt road which is further moderately ascending by the stream Muštrova grapa. After few minutes of additional walking, we get to a smaller crossroad, where signs for hiking path and homestead Pr' Muster and Pr' Dobret point us to the left on a narrower road which gradually starts ascending steeper. A little higher asphalt road turns sharply left towards the farm Pr' Muster, and we continue slightly right on a macadam road which in few hairpin turns steeply ascends to the farm Pr' Dobret.
From the mentioned farm we continue left on a cart track which ascends through a panoramic grassy meadow. When we reach the edge of the forest we continue right and with a view on Ratitovec and surrounding hills we walk to the spot, where the marked path (cart track) turns left in the forest. Next, we ascend on for a short time steep cart track which soon flattens, and then it several times splits. (To not go astray on the crossings, we carefully follow otherwise rare blazes).
From the spot, when the cart track flattens for some time we cross the slopes towards the left and then we steeper ascend on a cart track, on which we quickly get to a smaller saddle. On the saddle, we go right and we continue on a cart track which at first ascends on a smaller ridge, higher few times splits (we follow the blazes), and then passes on the left side of the nearby hill (Mrzli peak). A little further, the path brings us to the farm Mrznikar, from where we continue the ascent on a cart track, that starts at the nearby chapel. Further, we cross a panoramic slope, and then the path passes into the forest, through which it continues to an asphalt road at homestead Čemšišar. From here we go in the direction of Blegoš and Koprivnik and we continue on the forest road. After few 10 meters of walking on the mentioned road we get to a marked crossing, where the cart track branches off to the left, which leads towards Koprivnik and Romovec, and we still continue on a macadam road, and it starts turning more and more to the right. The mentioned road, we follow to its end, which is located by larger quarry.
At the end of the road, we will notice at first gentle marked path (on maps mentioned path isn't drawn), which crosses relatively steep slopes of Romovec. Already after few steps of walking, we run into the first steel cable, with the help of which we cross steep and in wet for slipping dangerous slope. A little after steel cable path turns to the left and for a short time steeply ascends. Further, the steepness decreases and the path turns to the right, where after few additional strides, it brings us to other steel cable, with the help of which in a diagonal ascent we ascend over very steep slope. The path then again flattens and it brings us to an old military bunker, which is situated above smaller precipice.
Bunker we bypass on the left side, and then the path descends on an exposed ledge (great risk of slipping). Behind the ledge path widens, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a large parking lot on Črni Kal.
From the parking lot, we go on the road, above which is writen "from here ahead we walk on foot". Right at mentioned caption, signs for Blegoš point us to the right on a wide footpath which already after few meters crosses a forest road which runs towards the mountain hut on Blegoš.
We continue on a footpath which starts to ascend steeply through the forest. Higher still steep path brings us on vegetated northeastern ridge of Blegoš, on which we are then ascending for quite some time. The path ahead leads us past old military bunker, above which we soon come to mini vantage point, from which a beautiful view opens up on the nearby Ratitovec.
At the vantage point steepness decreases and the path after 5 minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest on a small indistinct saddle between Špik (1538 meters) on the left and Blegoš on the right. Here the path turns slightly to the right and after few additional strides, it brings us on panoramic upper ridge. Next follows only a short walk past old military tunnels to the top of Blegoš, which we reach after few 10 strides of additional walking.
