Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the fire station PGD Sovodenj and Cooperative home Sovodenj, where we already notice first yellow signs for Mrzli vrh. Signs point us on the road which continues along the stream Javorščica. We soon get to a crossroad, where we continue straight on the main road in the direction of Mrzli vrh and Sivka (left poultry farming, farm Korenine-Kržišnik). Asphalt road then leads us also past the turn-off of the road to the right towards the house with house number Laniše 6, and the valley through which we walk widens and the road brings us to the part of the settlement Koprivnik. Through the settlement we continue straight, and when the settlement ends, the path leads also past the information board of the path Pot ob rapalski meji. A little further, we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Mrzli vrh, Sivka, mountain hut and Javorjev Dol (right Jazne-Otalež). The path still continues on the asphalt road, and higher we get to few houses in the settlement Javorjev Dol.
When higher the asphalt road turns left and from the valley passes on a slope, we continue right on a side road in the direction of Mrzli vrh and homestead Likar. On the macadam road, we are ascending diagonally towards the right, and after the lane of a forest, we get to the house with house number Mrzli Vrh 12, where we leave the road and we continue sharply left on the path towards Mrzli vrh. The path already after few 10 strides turns right and is a short time ascending parallel with the road, and then turns left in the forest, through which it starts ascending steeper on a cart track. Cart track quickly flattens, and then it brings us on a small saddle southeast from Likarjeva Sivka, where we join the marked path.
We continue left towards Mrzli vrh (right Bevkov vrh), so that on the left side we bypass homestead Tušar. A little further, the path splits, and we continue on the left path, by which there is a yellow sign for Mrzli vrh (straight Mrzli vrh and Sivka). Next follows a short crossing towards the left and then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the left (right Mrzli vrh and Sivka), and there we descend a little to the nearby crossroad.
From the crossroad, we go right in the direction of the mountain hut, to which in a minute of additional walking, we ascend on a steep macadam road.
