Blegoš, at 1563 m high, represents the highest peak of the
Škofja Loka Hills. Here the upper border of the forest is
extremely low, hardly reaching a height of 1500 m. Blegoš is
well known for its fauna and flora. A carpet of rhododendrons
spreads above the forest, where in between clustered bunches of
mountain knapweed grow, and mountain orchids thrive on the
grassy turf. There are so many that Blegoš could be called the
mountain of orchids. The concrete fortifications of the Rupnik
line at the top of Blegoš date back to before the Second World
War. At that time Blegoš was one of the major strongholds in the
military system of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia against Italy.
