Leše - Hom (above Prevalje) (via Kot pri Prevaljah)

Access to the starting point:
From Mežica, Border crossing Holmec or Raven na Koroškem, drive to Prevalje, from where you continue to the village of Leše. When you arrive in Leše, take a sharp left in the direction of Uršlja gora, then park in the parking lot near the branch primary school.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue in the direction of Uršlja gora, Naravskih ledin and KPP (Koroška planinska pot) and initially walk along the asphalt road, which leads us past a few houses. From the asphalt road, soon turn right onto the macadam road in the direction of Uršlja gora and Pačnik and Streha. At the last house, turn left onto cart track, which begins to climb over a meadow. At a higher altitude, you reach another dirt road, which you follow to the left, passing individual farmsteads, and at the crossroads follow the signs for KPP or Nature's Ledine.
At the Pečnik farm, continue straight ahead, and at the next farm, Ravnjak, go slightly right on the marked cart track. Cart track first crosses a meadow with a view, but when it turns into a forest, it starts to descend crosswise and soon reaches a macadam road, which you follow upwards. The road soon turns left to cross the Barbarski graben stream, where the H₂O ranch can be seen on the left, and a few steps further on, the marked trail branches off to the right. Continue on the signed cart track, which returns to the road higher up and makes a left serpentine. After the serpentine, the path leads us over a steep and scenic slope, from which we have a beautiful view towards Huhnerkogel and Golica. The road then leads us past the Vranske peči climbing centre and the trail branch to the Suška bajta bivouac, and then, shortly after crossing the torrent, we leave it and continue on the marked trail. Then climb through the forest, crossing the smaller cart track, and when you reach cart track for the second time, follow it to the left. The slope here flattens out and after crossing a pasture fence we enter a pasture where the track disappears and we continue along the left edge of the forest. After the hunting observation post, the path turns slightly left and climbs to Obretanovo, where there are several buildings, including the Obretanovo Scout House of the Carinthian Steelworkers.
Continue along the road, which leads to a marked crossroads behind a gate, where a marked trail branches off slightly to the right towards the Naravski Lediny, and we continue to follow the road. At a small crossroads, go left, then past an abandoned quarry to reach the pass south of Homa. Here, before the sign, continue left on the wider cart track, and after a few steps go slightly right on the older logging trail, which begins to climb the slope straight up. Higher up, cross the newer cart track, and we continue on the old, partly overgrown logging trail. This steep path, which passes through the forest and from which only occasionally opens up a small view to the west, is then followed to the top of Homa, where there is a registration box.
