Path description:
From Žiri we continue by the main road towards Idrija and Logatec, and we follow it to the chapel by the crossroad. Here we continue right on a side road, by which after few meters on a power line pole we notice signs for Breznica and Mrzli vrh, which point us to the left on a cart track which ascends steeply among houses. Higher, we for some time step on the road, from which a nice view opens up on Žiri, and then we continue on a cart track. Cart track quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet, after which we continue right on a marked footpath, on which we ascend on a smaller saddle. From the small saddle, by which there are religious symbol and a bench we continue left and after few steps, we get to a macadam road which we only cross. The path ahead passes into the forest, through which for a short time steeply ascends, and then it flattens and it brings us on panoramic grassy slopes. Next follows few minutes of ascent on a cart track and the path brings us in Breznica pri Žireh, where we also step on an asphalt road. Through the village we follow the blazes, and the road past the village church of St. Kancijan, in a gentle descent brings us to a crossroad, from which we continue right in the direction of Mrzli Vrh. Here the road for some time slightly ascends, and then it starts descending to the next crossroad, where we again continue right (left Korita). From the crossroad ahead, the road loses an asphalt covering, and we follow the macadam road through a larger meadow.
When the road returns into the forest, signs for Mrzli Vrh point us to the left on a marked footpath which is further moderately ascending through the forest. Further, we are for some time ascending through the forest and then the path brings us on a grassy ridge, from which a nice view opens up on Blegoš and surrounding peaks. Here we short time walk on the road, and then signs for Mrzli Vrh point us slightly to the right on an ascending footpath which higher flattens and gradually passes on the right side of the ridge. Next follows a short crossing and a panoramic path brings us to a sign which marks Mrzli vrh (the sign is situated little below the summit).
We continue on a marked path which starts gently descending towards the nearby road. When we step on the road, we join the path which leads from the village Ledinica, and we continue left on the road which at first only crosses slopes, and then it starts 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.
