Hotovlja - Sivka (via Pasja ravan)

Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas. The road then brings us to the traffic-light intersection in the village Poljane nad Škofjo Loko. Here we turn left towards the village Hotovlja. The road immediately after the intersection over a bridge crosses Poljanščica and then brings us to the next intersection, where we continue left. Further, the road brings us among the houses in the village Hotovlja, where we also notice the beginning of the footpath to Bukov vrh. Here we drive a few dozen meters further to the parking lot, which we notice on the other side of the stream, along which we are driving.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return a few meters along the road back to the marked beginning of the mountain path to Bukov vrh. The path then over a small bridge crosses the stream and on the other side steeply ascends. The path ahead ascends for a good 20 minutes through the forest, then brings us to a sparsely vegetated slope, where the steepness eases. Here by the path we notice two crosses, which are only a few meters apart. A little further ahead the path brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue along a poor road, which we follow only for a short time. When we reach the fence we continue through the gate and then gently ascend between fences. We follow this path, along which the blazes are rarer, for a few minutes to the place where we step onto a worse road. Here we notice the sign for Bukov vrh, which directs us across the grassy slope towards the church, which we already see ahead. A little below the summit the path for a short time ascends somewhat more steeply and with ever better views quickly brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows.
From Bukov vrh we continue straight down (south direction) and after a short descent across the meadow we arrive at a smaller hamlet in the village Bukov vrh. Here on one of the houses we notice the inscription Vinharje, Pasja ravan and Črni vrh, which directs us onto a cart track that begins to ascend gently and quickly brings us to a panoramic grassy ridge. We walk across the panoramic slope, then the cart track turns somewhat to the right, where it brings us to the edge of the forest. Here the cart track brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue left, relatively steeply upwards. Higher the cart track temporarily flattens, but we continue following the signs for Pasja ravan, which lead us from the cart track onto a wide footpath. Higher we cross the cart track again, then continue the ascent along the occasionally somewhat steeper marked path, which after a good 15 minutes of further walking brings us to a macadam road, which we follow to the left. We continue along the mentioned road, along which in less than 5 minutes we arrive at the expansive summit of Pasja ravan.
From the summit of Pasja ravan we continue along the marked path in the direction of Suhega dol. The path from the edge of the summit steeply descends for a few meters, then flattens and enters the forest, through which we quickly descend to the nearby road. We follow the road to the left (right Bukov vrh, bypass to the summit of Pasja ravan) and walk only a few steps along it, then the blazes direct us slightly right onto the marked and slightly ascending footpath. The path soon brings us out of the forest onto a grassy hayfield, across which we walk to the nearby road.
We reach the asphalt road right at the panoramic saddle, where there is a cross, NOB monument and mountain signposts. We continue in the direction of Suhega dol and for quite some time continue along the asphalt road, which mostly descends gently to moderately. We follow the partly panoramic road for quite some time, then at the sign for the start or end of the municipality Dobrova Polhov Gradec, we continue left downhill onto the marked footpath descending through the forest. Somewhat lower we return to the road and follow it to the left. The road further leads through a smaller hamlet, after which it temporarily begins to ascend. At the top of the rise we reach a junction, where we continue left downhill in the direction of "Rovt" (right Suhi dol). Further the macadam road begins to descend, and we walk along it to the first branch to the right. When we reach the mentioned branch to the right, we continue along the right ascending road, which we follow to the marked junction near the chapel.
Here we continue right upwards in the direction of Sivka, and continue the ascent along the marked footpath, along which in under 10 minutes we reach the panoramic summit.
