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 crossroad in the village Poljane nad Škofjo Loko. Here we turn left towards the village Hotovlja. The road immediately after the crossroad over a bridge crosses Poljanščica and then brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left. Further, the road brings us among houses in the village Hotovlja, where we also notice the beginning on a footpath on Bukov vrh. Here we drive for few ten meters ahead to the parking lot, which we notice on the other side of the stream, by which we drive.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return few meters on the road back to marked beginning of the mountain path on Bukov vrh. After that, the path over a small bridge crosses the stream and on the other side steeply ascends. The path ahead is good 20 minutes ascending through the forest and then it brings us on rare vegetated slope, where the steepness decreases. Here by the path, we notice two crosses, which are distant from one another only few meters. And only a little ahead path brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue on a bad road which we follow only for a short time. When we come to the fence we continue through the door and then we are gently ascending between the fences. This path, by which the blazes are rare we follow few minutes, to the spot, where we step on a worse road. Here we notice a sign for Bukov vrh, which points us on a grassy slope towards the church, which we already see in front of us. A little below the summit, the path for a short time a little steeper ascends and with increasingly beautiful views quickly brings us to the summit, in the middle of which stands Church of Our Lady of Sorrows.
From Bukov vrh we continue straight downwards (direction south) and after a short descent through a meadow we get to a smaller hamlet in the village Bukov vrh. Here on one of the houses we notice a caption Vinharje, Pasja ravan and Črni vrh, which points us on a cart track which starts gently ascending and it quickly brings us on a panoramic grassy ridge. We walk over a panoramic slope, after that cart track turns a little to the right, where it brings us to the edge of the forest. Here cart the track brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue left, relatively steep upwards. Higher, the cart track for some time flattens, and we further follow the signs for Pasja ravan, and they from the cart track point us on a wide footpath. Higher, we again cross the cart track, and then we continue the ascent on occasionally a little steeper marked path, and it after good 15 minutes of additional walking brings us to a macadam road which we follow to the left. We continue on the mentioned road, on which in less than 5 minutes we get to an ample peak of Pasja ravan.
From the top of Pasja ravan we continue on a marked path in the direction of Suhi dol. The path from the edge of the peak for few meters steeply descends, and then it flattens and passes in the forest, through which we quickly descend to a nearby road. We follow the road to the left (right Bukov vrh, avoiding the summit of Pasja ravan) and we walk there only few steps, and then blazes point us slightly to the right on a marked and slightly ascending footpath. The path soon comes out of the forest on a grassy meadow, on which we walk to a nearby road.
Asphalt road we reach right on a panoramic saddle, by which there are situated cross, NOB monument and hiking signposts. We continue in the direction of Suhi dol and we for quite some time continue on the asphalt road which is mostly gently to moderately descending. Partly panoramic road we follow for quite some time, and then at the sign for the beginning or end of municipality Dobrova Polhov Gradec, we continue left downwards on a marked footpath which is descending through the forest. A little lower we return on the road and we follow it to the left. The road ahead leads through a smaller hamlet, after which it for some time starts ascending. On top of the hill, we come to a crossroad, where we continue left downwards in the direction of "Rovt" (right Suhi dol). Ahead macadam road starts descending, and we walk there to the first turn-off to the right. When we come to the mentioned turn-off to the right, we continue on the right ascending road, and we follow it to a marked crossing near the chapel.
Here we go right upwards in the direction of Sivka, and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath, on which in a little less than 10 minutes we reach the panoramic peak.
