Access to starting point:
From Mežica, border crossing Holmec or Ravne na Koroškem we drive on Prevalje, from there we continue driving towards the settlement Leše. When we get to Leše, we drive to ŠD Leše, where we park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the sports field we continue on the asphalt road which is ascending through the village. At the crossings, we follow the road on a slightly left turn-offs, when the asphalt ends, we continue left on a cart track which is ascending on a panoramic grassy slope. Cart track then for some time continues below or by route of a high voltage power line, and higher turns right and past a smaller hamlet brings us to the inscription box and few steps ahead to both Leše churches.
In front of churches we continue left on a footpath which higher passes into the forest, and after a shorter ascent joins to a macadam road. On the road, we lightly ascend and already after few 10 meters we get to a marked crossroad, where we continue on a slightly left road in the direction of Volinjak and the path "skrivnostni svet Žal žen" (right Prapar and Stovčnik). The path ahead at first continues through the forest and then past a watering-place and by ample pasture. A little higher, the road brings us to a smaller hamlet at the farm Hermanko, where on one of buildings we notice a caption Volinjak, and we still continue on the road, on which we get to few minutes distant crossroad, by which there is situated bigger chapel.
From the crossroad, we continue straight, on the road which continues on the left side of chapel (slightly right road which leads towards Mežica, sharply right footpath on Volinjak). After few 10 strides marked path in Mežica branches off to the right downwards, and we continue on a macadam road towards the homestead Andrej. The path ahead leads us past the homestead Andrej, and then continues at first on the western, after that also on the south side of Andrejev vrh. Before the homestead Najevnik we reach a smaller saddle, by which there is a chapel, and next to it we leave the macadam road and we continue sharply left, on the path which starts ascending on a ridge. This path we then follow all the way to few minutes distant Andrejev vrh.
