Access to starting point:
A) We drive into Poljanska Valley, where between the settlements of Trebija and Gorenja vas, we drive in the direction of Hotavlje, and then we follow the road in the direction of the Cerkno ski centre. The road soon brings us to the village Kopačnica, after 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 by the church.
B) First, we drive to Cerkno, and then we continue driving in the direction of the Cerkno ski centre. Higher, somewhat above the settlement Dolenji Novaki, we leave the road towards the Cerkno ski centre and continue right towards Kopačnica and Leskovica. When we arrive in the village Leskovica, signs for Blegoš direct us left uphill onto a steep road, along which we drive to the nearby church, where we park.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the initially still asphalted road, which with views of Blegoš and surrounding peaks quickly brings us into the forest. After a good 20 minutes of gentle ascent on the road, we will notice on the left side signposts, which direct us on a cart track in the direction of Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih.
The cart track then ascends transversely somewhat towards the right and already after a few steps brings us to the spot where from the right the path from Volaka joins.
We continue on a wide marked path, which higher crosses a gully 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 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 on the road for a few more minutes. After a shorter traverse the road first turns quite to the left, then in the middle of a longer bend, in a sort of gully valley we leave it and continue on a cart track, which continues along the bottom of the valley and soon turns right. Thereafter we ascend for some time on the cart track, which ascends through the forest, at a few smaller junctions following the better-trodden path. Higher we leave the cart track and continue following the signs for route UPT 100 km. A few minutes of steep ascent follow, then we reach a 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 summit Blegoš.
Even though the turn-off is marked, the path ahead is not marked, but it is well-trodden and orientationally relatively easy. A little higher we 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.
