Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the road, above which it is written "from here on we walk on foot". Right at the mentioned sign, the signs for Blegoš direct us to the right onto a wide footpath, along which in a few steps we ascend to a forest road. We follow the road to the right, and we walk along it for quite some time. After approximately half an hour of walking, we leave the road and continue the ascent on a marked footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu. The path soon approaches the road completely, then turns a little towards the left, where it starts to ascend steeper and steeper. Higher up, the path from the village Potok joins us from the right, and we continue straight on the path, which levels off somewhat, then over a grazing fence in a few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Blegošu.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a gently sloping path, which crosses a panoramic grassy slope, after which the path goes into a short stretch of forest and ascends more steeply. After a few minutes of walking, the steepness eases and the path brings us out of the forest onto the summit unforested slopes of Blegoš. We then follow this increasingly panoramic path to the summit of Blegoš.

Along the route: Koča na Blegošu mountain hut (1391m)
