Zali Log - Blegoš (via Potok)

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 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 Davča, the ski resort Cerkno and Cerkno branches off to the right, and we continue straight across the bridge to the NOB monument. At the monument, under the electricity supply, a marked cart track (the branch is unmarked) branches off to the right, leading to Blegoš (straight on the road Blegoš through Črni Kal).
The track first ascends parallel to the road, then turns to the right, where it then climbs transversely through the forest. Higher up, the cart track, which has a couple of forks (follow the sparse markings), is laid and leads to steep and, for a short time, scenic slopes (a view of Ratitovec). After a few minutes of easy walking, cart track climbs steeply again and leads us to an asphalt road at the top of the climb. Once on the road, we continue straight on, and after a few minutes of further walking we reach some houses in the village of Potok. In the middle of the village there is a small crossroads where you continue along the road on the right in the direction of Blegoša and Črni Kal. Just a little higher up, you reach the next crossroads, where it says Blegoš left and straight ahead. This time continue straight on towards the footpath to Blegoš (left Blegoš access to Črni Kal by car), but continue climbing for some time on the tarmac road. After a few minutes of further walking, the road turns sharp right, and at the beginning of the above-mentioned bend, a section of the asphalt road also continues straight ahead. Continue straight ahead and continue your ascent along the babbling brook, which you will soon reach its source.
At the spring (the spring is higher at times of high water level), leave the asphalt road and continue the ascent on a less good dirt road, which climbs further along the bottom of the torrential gully. Higher up, we cross a slightly wider road, but we only walk along it for a few minutes, as the signs for Blegoš then direct us left onto cart track, which continues to climb along a side valley. The cart track is also soon abandoned as the markings lead us left into a dense forest through which we then climb on a less well-trodden path. The poorly visible track climbs moderately to occasionally steeply through the dense forest, but if you keep to a sort of valley all the time you can't stray off the right track as it climbs alongside it all the time. Higher up we cross a forest road, and just a little higher up we join a much more beaten track leading from Črni Kal towards the Cottage on Blegoš. Here we continue to the right and in a few minutes we reach the aforementioned mountain hut. From the hut on Blegoš, continue along the initially gently sloping path, which climbs over a grassy slope with a view. The path soon begins to climb steeply and leads us to the edge of the forest, where it then climbs along a narrow uncultivated strip. The steepness soon gives way and the path leads to the scenic ridge Blegoš, which is climbed to the summit in a few minutes.
