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 the buildings we notice a caption Volinjak, which pointing right, but we still continue on the road, and we leave it at the few minutes distant crossroad, by which there is a bigger built chapel.
From the crossroad, we continue right, on the path in the direction of Volinjak, where the path at first leads through the meadow, and then it gradually passes into the forest. Through the forest, we follow the yellow arrows or lines, and on a quite steep path in few minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Volinjak, on which there is an inscription box.
