Access to starting point:
We drive to Šoštanj, and then we follow the signs for Črna na Koroškem. When we leave the valley we start ascending on a quite winding road which leads towards the mountain pass Sleme and Črna na Koroškem, and on the mentioned road we drive to the settlement Zavodnje, where we park on the settled parking lot in the center of the settlement, near the parish church of St. Peter and Pavel.
Path description:
At the starting point, we notice signposts for Uršlja gora and mountain hut Andrejev dom na Slemenu, which point us on the main road which continues towards Sleme. We short time continue by the main road, after that at first left turn after the settlement Zavodnje, we continue right through a meadow to the nearby houses. At the houses, we cross the road, and then we continue by the edge of the forest. Higher, we cross a lane of a forest, where appears a cart track, when we step out of the forest, the path leads us past nearby homestead. The path ahead leads us through an ample meadow, and when we reach an asphalt road, we go left in the direction of the mountain hut Andrejev dom (right Radmanova žaga). Some 10 meters we continue on the road, and then we go slightly right on a cart track which passes into the forest. Next follows a shorter ascent through the forest and then the path brings us out of the forest, where on meadows it vanishes. We continue by the edge of the forest, and we bypass houses on the bottom side. Higher, we reach the main road, and we walk there to a crossroad, where signs for mountain hut Andrejev dom point us to the right, after few steps, at the next crossroad we go left. The path ahead leads us past few more houses, and behind the houses, the road changes into a cart track. Higher, we cross one more narrower asphalt road, and then the path short time leads on quite an overgrown path. When we step from bushes on meadows a nice view opens up towards the valley Šaleška dolina and Uršlja gora, and the path leads us past few more houses, after which we cross the main road. On the other side of the road, we go right and we continue parallel with the main road. Next follows a relatively short ascent through the forest and then we reach the marked crossing at homestead Orel, where from the left joins also a marked path from Topolščica.
We continue right towards Uršlja gora and mountain hut Andrejev dom and after 10 minutes of a light ascent on a wide cart track we get to the mentioned mountain hut, from which a beautiful view opens up.
