Access to starting point:
From Škofje Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas and further to Hotavlje, where we turn right in the direction of the village Leskovica and ski center Cerkno. Already after a few hundred 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 crossroad, where we continue slightly left in the direction of Volaka. Further, we drive along Volaščica, and all turn-offs to the left and right we calmly "overlook" and we follow the road to the confluence of Volaščica and Javorjeva grapa. At the confluence there is a small arranged parking lot, and nearby are situated also hiking signs for Blegoš.
Route 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 the two cart tracks. The cart track ahead ascends transversely above Volaščica, then, shortly 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 transversely over 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 levels out, then brings us in a moderate ascent to the nearby road that comes from Leskovica.
Above the road we notice signs for Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih, which direct us right onto a somewhat more rugged cart track. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which then steeply ascends temporarily. Higher we cross a streamlet, and the path behind it gradually levels out and brings us after a few minutes of further walking to a forest road, which we only cross.
The path ahead ascends over small steps and brings us in 5 minutes of further walking to Zavetišče gorske straže na Jelencih.
From the shelter we continue on the marked path, which goes into dense spruce forest. Soon a path from the village Laze joins us from the left, and we continue slightly right on the path that quickly brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest we continue right in the direction of the hut on Blegoš (left Črni vrh, straight Črni Kal) on a poorer road, on which we ascend to Koča na Blegošu in a few minutes.
From the hut on Blegoš we continue on an initially gentle path that ascends over a panoramic grassy slope. The path soon begins to ascend more steeply and brings us to the edge of the forest, where it then ascends along a narrow unforested strip. The steepness soon eases, and the path brings us to the panoramic ridge of Blegoš, along which we ascend to the summit in a few minutes.

Discussion about the trip Volaka - Blegoš

We climbed to the summit via this trail last Saturday, but from the hut we crossed the southern slope of Blegoš to the right and ascended from the south, and descended to the hut via this described trail on the eastern slope. A more detailed description of our route with impressions and photos is published here.

The path is passable, there are just some charred trees that need to be stepped over or ducked under. There are new forest paths due to timber extraction. Where there is the most fallen trees, you need to look a bit for the path and markers. Elsewhere no problem.
