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, drive to ŠD Leše, where you can park in a suitable place.
Path description:
From the sports ground, follow the asphalted road as it climbs through the village. At the crossroads follow the road slightly to the left, and when the asphalt ends, turn left onto cart track, which climbs up a grassy slope with a view. Cart track then continues for some time below the village. It then turns right at a higher altitude and leads past a small hamlet to a registration box and a few steps further on to the two churches of Lesko.
Before the churches, turn left onto a footpath that turns into a forest higher up and then, after a short climb, joins a macadam road. The road climbs gently and after only 10 metres you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue along a slightly left-hand road in the direction of Volinjak and the path into the mysterious world of the Sorrows of Women (Prapar and Stovčnik on the right). The way ahead continues first through the forest, then past a watering hole and alongside an expansive pasture. A little higher up, the road leads us to a small hamlet near the Hermanko farm, where we see the inscription Volinjak on one of the buildings, and we continue along the road, arriving at a crossroads a few minutes away, at which there is a larger brick chapel.
From the crossroads, continue straight ahead, on the road that continues to the left of the chapel (slightly to the right is the road leading to Mežica, to the sharp right is the footpath to Volinjak). After a few 10 paces, a marked path branches off to the right downhill to Mežica, and we continue along the dirt road towards the Andrej homestead. The way forward leads past the Andrej homestead, then continues first along the west side and then along the south side of the Andrej peak. Before the Najevnik homestead, we reach a small saddle with a chapel, and we leave the macadam road and continue sharp left on the path, which begins to climb along the ridge. We then follow this path all the way to Andre's Peak, a few minutes away.
