Path description:
Through Prelesje we walk with nice views, and after the settlement, the road passes into the forest and after a shorter crossing brings us to a smaller valley, where the road turns left. On the part where the road turns left, we leave it and we continue right on an unmarked cart track which is ascending by the stream Preleški graben. Few minutes we are ascending by the stream, which in dry days dries up, and then at the crossing we choose the left cart track and we cross the stream Preleški graben. On the other side, we diagonally ascend, and at few crossings we choose the one path, which is considerably ascending (at the first crossing right, at the second left, and at third again right). After few minutes of ascent we reach an asphalt road which we follow left downwards (right a homestead), and we are descending on the road only few 10 strides, and then we go right on a cart track which ascends above the before mentioned homestead. Above the homestead, we return into the forest, where we at first steeply ascend, and then the path flattens and it brings us on the upper grassy slope of Sivka, on which we quickly ascend to the inscription box of Prijatelji Sivke (Friends of Sivka), and from there in nice views we ascend also to the nearby peak.
