Zali Log - Koprivnik

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki and on to Zale Log. About 100 m before Zali Log, you will come to a crossroads where the road to Davča branches off to the left. Turn left here, cross the bridge over the Selška Sora River and park in a suitable space next to the transformer.
b) The starting point can also be reached from the route of Tolmin. In this case, first drive to Podbrdo and then continue driving towards Železniki. Turn right at the first junction after Zali Log and then park in a suitable space next to the transformer.

Path description:
On a nearby trestle next to a transformer, we see signs for Blegoš, which direct us to the road we are parked on. The road initially climbs gently along the river Davča and leads us on through the hamlet of Zalega Loga. In the second part of the hamlet we come to a slightly larger crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards Davča, the ski resort Cerkno and Cerkno, and we continue straight across the bridge to the NOB monument. At the monument, a marked cart track (the branch is unmarked) leads to Blegoš (Blegoš across the Potok), and we continue straight along the asphalted road, which climbs moderately further along the Muštrova grapa stream. After a few minutes of further walking, we reach a small crossroads, where signs for a hiking trail and the homesteads of Pr' Muster and Pr' Dobret direct us to the left onto a narrower road, which gradually starts to climb steeper. A little higher up, the asphalted road turns sharp left to the farm Pr' Muster, and we continue slightly right on the macadam road, which climbs steeply in a few serpentines to the farm Pr' Dobret.
From the farm, continue left on the cart track, which climbs over a grassy hayfield. When you reach the edge of the forest, continue to the right and, with views of Ratitovec and the surrounding hills, walk to where the marked path (kolovoz) turns left into the forest. Continue along the short steep cart track, which soon flattens out and then forks several times. (To avoid going astray at the forks, follow the otherwise sparse markings carefully).
From the point where the track lays down, cross the slopes to the left for a while, then climb steeply up the tractor track logging trail, which quickly leads to a small pass. At the precipice, turn right and continue along cart track, which initially climbs a small ridge, splits a few times higher up (follow the markings), and then passes to the left side of a nearby hill (Mrzli vrh). A little further on, the path leads to the Mrznikar farm, from where the ascent continues along the cart track, which starts at the nearby chapel. The path then passes through a forest, through which it continues to the asphalt road at the Čemšišar homestead. From here, go in the direction of Blegoša and Koprivnik and continue along the forest road. After a 10 m walk along the above-mentioned road, you reach a marked crossroads, where you turn left onto a track in the direction of Koprivnik and Romovec (right Blegoš). The ascent continues along the cart track, which quickly leads you to a water reservoir, which you bypass on the right-hand side. The way forward gradually begins to climb steeply and, with the exception of a few short marked shortcuts, leads us along cart track. At the top of the climb, the path leads us to a pass between Koprivnik on the left and Romovec on the right. Here on the pass, where there is also a registration box and a larger bench next to it, continue to the left (Romovec, Črni Kal and Blegoš on the right) and follow cart track, which after a few metres is joined from the right by the marked path from Žetina.
Follow the track in the direction of Koprivnik (right down Žetina), which gradually starts to climb steeply. At the point where the track starts to become overgrown with tall grass, you will see on the right-hand side an initially less visible, but marked path, which branches off to the right with cart track. Next, we climb through the initially very dense forest, along a path which leads us higher up on partly scenic slopes, from which we have a view of the nearby Blegoš. A little further on, the steepness eases and the path quickly leads us over a blueberry patch to the top of Koprivnik.
