Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the main road towards Žiri, and we walk along it for about 50 m, or to the junction, where the road to Ledine branches off to the left. From the mentioned junction, we continue left and then immediately right in the direction of the marked path towards Sivka. After the nearby house, the road temporarily loses its asphalt surface, and then in a moderate ascent it joins a somewhat wider road, which we follow right in the direction of Sivka (straight to Jazne, left downwards we can return to Ledinsko Razpotje). A short ascent follows, then the road flattens and leads us through fairly panoramic terrain. Behind the chapel, which is located between two linden trees, the road descends slightly and brings us to a plateau. A little further ahead, a marked path from Žiri via Vrsnik and Govejka joins us from the right.
We continue in the direction of Sivka, along a gentle road, which gradually brings us to the village of Ledine, where on the right we notice Jurečeva šupa (museum collection), and on the left, attached to the bus stop shelter, there is a logbook box containing a stamp and logbook.
The path ahead leads us through the village, after the sign "end of the settlement Ledine", we continue right, as indicated by the marks too. The path then quickly ascends above the village, from where there is a nice view of part of the plateau, and on the left, along the path, we also notice a smaller park or NOB monument.
The asphalt road then moderately ascends through initially still quite panoramic slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up all the way to Trnovski gozd. Higher up, the road enters the forest, where it leads us past a smaller shrine, 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. Higher up, the main road brings us out of the forest, where in a few steps we arrive at the marked junction by the chapel.
From the mentioned 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 junction immediately after the farm building, we continue right in the direction of Ledinica, Breznica and Žiri. We continue along the increasingly panoramic road for a short time, then at the right bend we notice signs for Mrzli vrh and the information board for the Path along the Rapallo Border. We continue along the panoramic cart track, which leads us across the grassy slope of Mrzli vrh or Loncmanova Sivka. Higher up we cross a pasture fence and behind it continue right to the summit a few tens of meters away, from which a nice view opens up in all directions.
