Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Polhov Gradec (to here from Dobrova or Horjul), and then we continue driving towards Črni vrh. At the hamlet Zalog (we recognize it by large meadow) we leave the road which runs towards Črni vrh and we continue left in the direction of Setnik and Srednji vrh (we leave mentioned road only few meters before it crosses smaller wooden bridge). From the mentioned road soon road towards Setnik branches off to the left, and we continue straight on the bottom road by which we soon notice mountain signposts for Srednji vrh and Pasja ravan. We park a little further on a parking lot near the smaller crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to signposts, and they point us on a steep road on which in few steps we ascend to the house, which the marked path bypasses on the right side. Behind the house, we notice a cart track which ascends diagonally a little towards the left and then goes into the forest.
A partly overgrown path ahead ascends past a lonely farm and a little higher brings us on the forest road which we follow to the right, but only few steps, because then blazes point us left on a footpath. The footpath soon brings us out of the forest, where it turns a little towards the left and only a little further brings us on a grassy cart track which by poorly visible blazes we follow to the village Srednji vrh. When we step on the road in the village, we only cross it and we continue straight past houses to the chapel behind the house (this part of the path is poorly marked). At the chapel, from where a nice view opens up towards Črni vrh and church of St. Lenart, marked path turns sharply to the left and then in a gentle ascent continues on a cart track which higher brings us into the forest. In the forest blazes from the cart track point us to the right on a footpath which gradually starts ascending steeper. Occasionally poorly visible, but relatively well-marked path then flattens and past the ruins brings us to a little wider cart track which we then follow to a macadam road.
On the mentioned road, we ascend to the farm Rus, here marked path turns sharply to the left and continues on a gentle cart track which higher changes into a macadam road which for a short time steeply descends. The road ahead leads past few houses and then continues through panoramic meadows. We follow this road for quite some time, and then signs for Sivka point us to the right and then immediately left on a footpath (well-marked), where we will notice a sign PPP (path Polhograjska planinska pot).
Gently sloping ascent for some time we continue through the forest and then the path brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we notice some houses. The path behind the houses brings us to the chapel, by which there is well marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Pasja ravan (straight Sivka 10 minutes) and we continue on a macadam road which starts at first gently, and then moderately descending. The road which bypasses some houses goes lower in the forest, where we come to the unmarked crossroad. Here we continue slightly left on an ascending road, and it quickly brings us to the second crossroad, where we step on an asphalt road. We follow the road in the direction of Pasja ravan, and we follow it to a smaller hamlet and a little further to the spot, where blazes point us to the right on a marked footpath. We short time continue on the mentioned path, and then we return on the road which we follow to the right. On the road, we walk for some time, and then it brings us on a smaller saddle, by which there are situated monument NOB, cross and hiking signposts.
Here we continue left in the direction of Pasja ravan and we continue through a panoramic meadow. The path then goes quickly into a lane of a forest, where it starts lightly descending. After a short descent, we step on a worse road, where only few steps higher we notice marked crossing. Here we continue right on a relatively steep footpath (straight on the road Bukov vrh and Pasja ravan), which quickly flattens and brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest to the top separates us only a short very steep ascent.
