Sivadije
It's always very important to inform someone on the time you set out and the direction you're headed in, because this can save your life in case of an accident. If there is no lodge on your starting point, inform a fellow fellwalker who isn't going with you.
The road from Ruište to the Bijele vode lodge is well marked. The only place where you should be careful is the ridge of Vilin klanac, the entire length of which is marked for landmines. Yellow tape runs along each side of the road, and there are markers on the rocks, so it's impossible to get off the road even in the dark. It takes about two hours to reach the Bijele vode treba lodge. A few hundred metres from the lodge there is a shieling village.
The marked trail goes on past the spring towards Jezerce and Zelena glava. The road to Sivadije isn't marked, and the best course of action is to visually determine the easiest ascend route. A few hundred metres from the spring you get off the road to Jezerce and go uphill. It's a difficult climb, with a lot of scree and large rocks to skip. Sometimes, when you look for the easiest route, you end up finding the most difficult one. In one places you have to use a cable to climb a 10-metre rock. The path leads to the foot of the ridge west of the summit. From there you need to cover some 250 metres of incline to reach the summit.
