Route description:
From the starting point we continue on the main road towards Žiri, and we walk along it for some 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 downhill we can return to Ledinsko Razpotje). A short ascent follows, and then the road levels out 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, a marked path from Žiri via Vrsnik and Govejk joins us from the right.
We continue in the direction of Sivka, along a gentle road, which gradually brings us to the village Ledine, where on the right we notice Jurečeva šupa (museum collection), and on the left on the bus stop shelter there is an attached stamp box, in which there is a stamp and a registration book.
The path ahead leads us through the village, after the sign "end of settlement Ledine", we continue right, as the markers also direct us. 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 landmark, which we notice somewhat to the right from the path. Crossing a meadow follows, and then we ascend through the forest for a few more minutes. The main road then brings us out of the forest higher up, 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 on the asphalt road we begin to descend moderately. When the descent ends, at the first junction (by the junction there is a stable) we continue straight in the direction of Bevkov vrh (sharply right Ledinica, Breznica and Žiri).
The path ahead descends gently, among other things past the Vodičar farm, and then we arrive at a marked junction, where a marked path to Bevkov vrh branches off slightly to the left.
We continue along the road, to which the path from Sovodenj joins from the left, and then after the information board of the path Pot ob rapalski meji, we arrive at a smaller junction, where a relatively steep macadam road branches off to the right, along which in one minute of further walking we ascend to the Planinska koča Mrzl'k.
