Ledinica - Krog (Ledinski grič)

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Gorenjska vas and Žire. At the beginning of Žiri, you will see signs for Ledinica, which will direct you to the right onto the local road, which starts to descend moderately. The road then lays down and leads to a bridge over the Poljanska Sora river. After the bridge, turn right and park in the parking lot.

b) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Logatec, then continue driving in the direction of Rovt and Žiri. Continue driving along the rather winding road, which you follow until you reach Žiri, and here in the centre of the town you will see signs for Ledinica, which will direct you to the left. Continue through the industrial zone and then you will reach a bridge over the Poljanska Sora river. After the bridge, turn right and park in the parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road that continues along the left bank of the Poljanska Sora River, along which you will see signs. At first we walk without any change in altitude, but as we approach the hill where the Church of St Anne stands, the mountain signs for Mrzli vrh and the Mrzlk Mountain Hut direct us left, across the meadow, and when we reach the forest the path begins to climb, turns right at the wooden sign and quickly climbs to the Church of St Anne.
Go around the church on the left, and from the nearby crossroads continue along the path on the left in the direction of Mrzlega vrh (right Selo). The way ahead takes you along a narrow macadam road, where you pass individual houses, and at the nearby crossroads go right uphill. The road then turns right after the last house and descends over a small precipice on the cart track.
After a descent of some 10 steps, the path splits and we continue left on the footpath in the direction of Mrzlje vrh (straight ahead through Jarčjo Dolina). After a short cross-climb through the woods, we reach cart track, where we follow the markings, and cart track gradually turns into a ridge and turns into a mountain path higher up. The way forward takes us along the Ledinski grič ridge for some time, and here and there we also get some views that go all the way to the Alps. Just before the Ledinski grič peak, the marked path from the ridge turns slightly to the right, so that it bypasses the summit and the neighbouring Krog on the right, and we continue straight on and climb to the unmarked Ledinski grič, where there is usually a stack of firewood.
There is a short easy descent from the top, and then we start to climb up the beaten but unmarked path towards Krog. Just below the summit, step out of the forest onto a lookout hayfield, from which a beautiful view opens up, and when we return to the forest, we pass a bench and a log cabin and climb up to the highest point of Krog, where there is a stone with the inscription Krog and, a little further on, a small cross on a tree.
Ledinica - St. Anne 0:05, St. Anne - Ledinski grič 1:00, Ledinski grič - Krog 0:10.
