After the settlement Gorenja Žetina the asphalt ends, and only a few minutes of transverse ascent separate us from Črni kal, where there is a larger parking lot and an intersection of several roads.

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, which already after a few meters crosses a forest road that leads towards the mountain hut on Blegoš.
We continue on the footpath, which starts to ascend steeply through the forest. Higher, the still steep path brings us to the vegetated northeastern ridge of Blegoš, along which we then ascend for quite some time. The path ahead leads us past an old military bunker, above which we soon reach a mini viewpoint, from which a beautiful view opens up onto the nearby Ratitovec.
At the viewpoint the steepness eases, and the path after 5 minutes of further walking brings us out of the forest onto an indistinct little saddle between Špik (1538 m) on the left and Blegoš on the right. Here the path turns slightly to the right and after a few further steps brings us to the panoramic summit ridge. There follows only a short walk past old military trenches to the top of Blegoš, which we reach after a further few dozen steps.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
