Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Gorenja vas and Žiri. At the beginning of Žiri, we notice signs for Ledinica, which point us to the right on a local road which starts moderately descending. The road then flattens and it brings us to the bridge over the river Poljanska Sora. After the bridge, we turn right and we park on the settled parking lot.
B) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Logatec, and then we continue driving in the direction of Rovte and Žiri. We continue driving on a quite winding road which we follow to Žiri, here in the center of the town we notice signs for Ledinica, which point us to the left. Further, we drive through the industrial zone, and then we get to the bridge over the river Poljanska Sora. After the bridge, we turn right and we park on the settled parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which continues parallel with the river Poljanska Sora, and we walk there only about a minute, because then blazes point us left through a meadow. On the other side of the meadow, the path starts ascending steeper, and it quickly brings us to the church of St. Ana.
Behind the church, we continue right on a cart track which starts turning more and more to the left and it brings us to a marked crossing. We continue on the left path in the direction of Mrzli Vrh (right Selo), and it descends to a nearby road. We continue on the road, and then we join a wider road which we follow to the right. We for some time continue on an ascending road, and then at the lonely house it changes into a cart track, on which we walk only for a short time because then blazes point us left on a footpath which ascends steeply through the forest. After a shorter steep ascent, we step on a cart track, and we are ascending there on a forested ridge. Higher, the cart track changes into a mountain path, and it continues on and by the ridge of Ledinski grič. Higher, the path flattens and out of the forest it brings us to a nearby road, on which we descend to a crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue on an ascending road, by which we notice the blazes. Next follows an ascent on the more and more panoramic road, and with a view on Blegoš, Porezen and other peaks, we follow it to a marked crossing, where the path branches off to the left upwards towards Žiri, Breznica and Mrzli vrh.
We go straight and we continue on the road which starts gradually descending. After a short descent, we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue sharply left in the direction of Ledine (slightly right - farm Vodičar, where there is a stamp for Sivka - 1 minute).
We continue on a slightly ascending asphalt road which past a smaller monument brings us to a crossroad of multiple roads. We continue straight past NOB monument and chapel, on a macadam road in the direction of Sivka (this is also the first sign for Sivka on the described path). We short time continue on the macadam road, and then blazes point us slightly to the right on a meadow, and there we walk to the edge of the forest, where we notice the next sign for Sivka. The path ahead leads in the forest, and there in good 5 minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Sivka.
