Prevalje - Hom (above Prevalje)

Access to starting point:
From Mežica, border crossing Holmec or Ravne na Koroškem we drive to Prevalje, where between the stores Hofer and Eurospin, at the inn Gostilna Brančurnik, we turn on a side road which continues towards the south. By the spot, where we leave the main road are located signposts for Uršlja gora, and we park only a little further on a larger macadam parking lot.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road in the direction of Uršlja gora. We at first walk by stream Barbarski potok, and at the crossroads, we follow the signs for Uršlja gora. Higher a nice view opens up on Uršlja gora and Hom, and when we look back also on Peca. In the middle of the village Podkraj, at the religious symbol, the path turns right and continues on the macadam road. From the macadam road, we soon go slightly left, on a marked footpath which continues through the forest. While walking through the forest the path leads us past a cross Krištanov križ, and then we return on the road which at the crossroads we follow in the direction of Uršlja gora.
Higher from the left joins the path from Ravne na Koroškem. We still follow the signs for Uršlja gora and Naravske ledine. And after the homestead Savinc, on the part where the road crosses two successive streams, the path splits.
We continue on the right path in the direction of Naravske ledine past Godec (further on the road Uršlja gora and Naravske ledine on the road). The path continues on a cart track, by the stream. A little further, we cross the stream and we continue sharply right and on a cart track we diagonally ascend to a macadam road. When we reach the road, we continue sharply left (right a homestead Ljubenc), and then we get on the road to a larger meadow, which is situated below the summit of Hom. Here the road turns left and returns into the forest. Next follows few minutes of ascent on the road, and then we get to a crossroad, where we continue on the right road, where the blazes end (mountain path continues between the left and right road).
We continue in the direction of Obretanovo and farm Kovs, where on a gently sloping road we quickly get out of the forest to an already mentioned meadow below Hom. We walk to a smaller saddle, where a road branches off to the right towards the farm Kovs, and we continue slightly right on a wide cart track which continues left from the religious symbol. After few steps, we go from the cart track 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.
