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 continue sharply left in the direction of Uršlja gora, and then we park on a parking lot near primary school.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Uršlja gora, Naravske ledine and KPP (path Koroška planinska pot) and at first, we walk on an asphalt road which leads us past few houses. From the asphalt road, we soon go right on a macadam road in the direction of Uršlja gora and Pačnik and Streh. At the last house, we go left on a cart track which starts ascending through a panoramic meadow. Higher, we reach the other macadam road which we follow to the left, and there we walk past individual homesteads, at the crossroads we follow the signs for KPP or Naravske ledine.
At the farm Pečnik we continue straight, and at the next farm Ravnjak, we go slightly right on a marked cart track. Cart track at first crosses a panoramic meadow, and when passes into the forest, it starts diagonally descending and soon reaches a macadam road which we follow upwards. The road soon turns left, where crosses the stream Barbarski graben, where on the left we notice ranč H₂O, and few steps ahead on the right turn-off of a marked path. We continue on a marked cart track which higher returns on the road and makes the left hairpin turn. After hairpin turn path leads through steep and panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up towards Košenjak and Golica. The road then leads us also past the climbing area Vranske peči and turn-off of the path to bivouac Suška bajta, and then soon after the crossing of torrent we leave it and we continue on a marked path. Next follows an ascent through the forest, where we cross a smaller cart track, and when we for second time reach the cart track, we follow it to the left. Slope here flattens and after the crossing of a grazing fence we pass on a pasture, where the footpath starts vanishing, and we continue by the left edge of the forest. After the hunting observatory path turns slightly left and it ascends to Obretanovo, where there are situated some buildings, among other things also cottage Taborniški dom roda koroških jeklarjev Obretanovo.
We continue on the road which after the gate brings us to a marked crossing, where the marked path branches off slightly to the right towards Naravske ledine, we still follow the road. At the smaller crossroad, we go left and then past the abandoned quarry we get to a saddle south from Hom.
Here before the religious symbol we continue left, on a wider cart track, and after few steps, we go slightly right on an older cart track, on which we start ascending on a slope straight upwards. Higher, we cross a newer cart track, and we continue on the old, partly already overgrown cart track. This steep path, which runs through the forest and from which only occasionally some view opens towards the west, we then follow to the peak of Hom, where there is an inscription box.
