Access to the starting point:
a) From Raven na Koroškem or via Border crossing Holmec drive to Mežica, where at the beginning of the village turn left towards the Tuš store, the sports park and the music hall. After the Tuš shop and before the pensioners' home, turn left towards Leše. After the crossroads, cross the Meža River, and after the bridge, you will see the first red mountain signs pointing to the right. Just a little further on, we reach the next crossroads, where the signs for Uršlja gora point left, and we turn right, where we park by the sports ground and the music hall.
b) From Črna na Koroškem, drive to Mežica, where you turn right in the centre of the village towards the sports park and left at the next junction. Drive through the village for a while and then turn right after the pensioners' home in the direction of Leš. After the crossroads, cross the Meža River, and after the bridge, you will see the first red mountain signs pointing to the right. Just a little further on, we reach the next crossroads, where the signs for Uršlja gora point to the left, and we turn right, where we park by the sports ground and the music hall.
Path description:
From the starting point, return to the marked crossroads, then continue along the ascending road in the direction of Naravske ledin, Uršlja gora and KPP (Koroška planinska pot). At the Peršak carpenter's, continue straight onto the macadam road, which takes you into the forest and turns into a mountain trail that continues along the torrent. A little further on the right we see a wooden bridge, and we continue straight ahead and stay on the right bank of the torrent for a while. Cross the torrent for a few minutes, then follow the markings carefully at successive crossroads. Higher up, at a crossroads, we reach an asphalt road, and we continue along the left-hand road, along which the KPP markings continue. Walk along the road for a few minutes, from which you will get a nice view towards Pec, and then continue right into the forest, where you will follow the cart track. Cart track leads us higher out of the forest, and then through the yard of a nearby farmhouse we reach the next asphalt road, which we just cross. It then climbs through a hay meadow, and then turns slightly left into the forest. Walk through the forest for only a short time, as you quickly reach a macadam road, which you follow to the right (left Volinjak, Leše churches, Leše. . . ). The way forward takes us past the Andrej homestead, and then continues first along the west side, then along the south side of Andrej's Peak. Before the Najevnik homestead, we reach a small saddle, next to which there is a chapel, and we leave the macadam road and continue sharp left, on a path that begins to climb along the ridge. We then follow this path all the way to Andre's Peak, a few minutes away.
