On the other side of the bridge we arrive at the settlement Mokraška vas, and we keep to the main road which leads towards Ledinsko Razpotje and Žiri. Higher up the road leads us through a few hairpin turns, then we arrive at the settlement Ledinsko Razpotje, about 2 km further to the settlement Govejk. We park at an appropriate place by the smaller saddle, where the road to Ledine and Ledinske Krnice branches off to the left.

Path description:
From the starting point at Govejk we continue westwards in the direction of Ledine, which takes us less than an hour. The path ahead leads past a few houses and a larger enclosure, then after a short ascent it flattens out completely. At the next crossroads, where we notice signs for Ledine, we continue right, some 10 m further, near the "last" house then right onto a cart track. We continue along the cart track, which after a few minutes from the meadows enters the forest. When after a few minutes we emerge from the forest, the path widens into a drivable cart track, a little further we join a somewhat wider road. Along the gravel road we reach the asphalt road in a few minutes, along it we soon arrive at a marked crossroads, where a marked path from Ledinsko Razpotje joins us from the left.
We continue in the direction of Sivka along a gentle road, which gradually takes us to the village of Ledine, where on the right we notice Jurečeva šupa (museum collection), and on the left on the bus shelter is attached a registration box containing a stamp and logbook.
The path ahead leads through the village, after the sign "end of settlement Ledine" we continue right, where the markers also direct us. The path then quickly ascends above the village, from where there is a nice view over part of the plateau, and on the left along the path we also notice a small park or NOB monument.
The asphalt road then moderately ascends through initially still quite panoramic slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up reaching all the way to Trnovski gozd. Higher the road enters the forest, where it leads past a small sign, which we notice somewhat to the right of the path. This is followed by crossing a meadow, then we ascend through the forest for a few more minutes. The main road higher takes us out of the forest, where in a few steps we reach a marked junction by a chapel.
From this junction we continue right in the direction of Ermanovec (left to the summit of Sivka 10 minutes) and begin to descend moderately along the asphalt road. When the descent ends, at the first crossroads immediately after the farm building we continue right in the direction of Ledinica, Breznica and Žiri. We continue for a short time along the increasingly panoramic road, then at the right bend we notice signs for Mrzli vrh and the information board for the Path along the Rapallo border.
Here a path to Mrzli vrh branches off slightly to the right, while we continue along the road, which descends to a small saddle amid beautiful views.
Here the asphalt road descends right downhill, while we continue slightly left to the hiking signpost a few steps away, where the path splits again. Slightly left the marked path continues towards Ledinica, while we continue along the unmarked path, which follows an indistinct ridge. The path ahead leads past the hut Na Krog, behind which we quickly ascend to the summit of Krog.
