On the other side of the bridge you will reach the village of Mokraška vas, and we stick to the main road leading to Ledinsko Razpotje and Žire. Higher up, the road leads us through some serpentines, and then we arrive at the settlement Ledine Razpotje, and about 2 km further on to the settlement Govejk. Park in a suitable place, by a small pass, where the road to Ledine and Ledine Krnice branches off to the left.

Path description:
From the starting point at Govejk, continue west towards Ledine, which is about an hour's walk away. The path continues past a few houses and a large wall, and then after a short climb it completely flattens out. At the next crossroads, where you see the signs for Ledine, continue to the right, some 10 m further on, and near the "last" house, turn right at cart track. Continue along cart track, which after a few minutes turns from meadows into woods. After a few minutes out of the woods, the path widens into the passable cart track, and a slightly wider road joins a little further on. Follow the macadam road to the asphalt road in a few minutes, and quickly reach the marked crossroads, where the marked path from Ledinski Razpotje joins from the left.
Continue in the direction of Sivka, along the gently sloping road, which gradually leads to the village of Ledine, where you will see Jureč's shupa (museum collection) on the right and a registration box with a stamp and a registration book attached to the bus stop house on the left.
The way ahead leads through the village, and after the signpost for the end of the Ledine settlement, continue to the right, which is also where the markings direct you. The path then quickly climbs above the village, from where there is a beautiful view over part of the plateau, and on the left, along the path, you can see a small park, or NOB memorial.
The asphalt road continues to climb moderately over the initially quite scenic slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up, reaching all the way to the Trnovski Forest. Higher up, the road turns into a forest, where it leads us past a small sign, which we can see slightly to the right of the path. Crossing the meadow follows, and then we climb through the forest for a few more minutes. The main road leads us higher out of the forest, where we arrive in a few steps at a marked crossroads by the chapel.
From this crossroads, continue right in the direction of Ermanovec (to the left, top of Sivka for 10 minutes) and begin a moderate descent along the asphalt road. When the descent ends, at the first crossroads, just after the farm building, continue right in the direction of Ledinica, Breznice and Žiri. Continue along the increasingly scenic road for a short distance, then at the right-hand bend you will see signs for Mrzli vrh and an information board for the Trail along the Rapallo border. Continue along the cart track scenic route, which leads us along the grassy slope of Mrzli vrh or Loncmanova Sivka. Cross the grazing fence at a higher altitude and follow it to the right to a peak some 10 m away, from which a fine view opens up on all sides. Description and figures refer to the situation in 2015 (January).
