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

Access to starting point:
From Mežica, border crossing Holmec or Ravne na Koroškem, we drive to Prevalje, from where we continue driving towards the settlement Leše. When we arrive in Leše, we continue sharply left in the direction of Uršlja gora, and then we park on the parking lot near the branch primary school.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue in the direction of Uršlja gora, Naravske ledine and KPP (Koroška planinska pot) and at first we still walk on an asphalt road that leads us past a few houses. From the asphalt road, we soon go right onto a macadam road in the direction of Uršlja gora and Pačnik and Streha. At the last house, we go left onto a cart track that starts to ascend across a panoramic meadow. Higher up, we reach another macadam road, which we follow to the left, walking past individual farms on it, and at intersections we follow the signs for KPP or Naravske ledine.
At the Pečnik farm, we continue straight ahead, at the next farm Ravnjak, we go slightly right onto a marked cart track. The cart track first crosses a panoramic meadow, when it enters the forest, it starts to descend transversely and soon reaches a macadam road, which we follow uphill. The road soon turns left, crossing the stream Barbarski graben, where on the left we notice ranch H₂O, a few steps further on the right is the junction of a marked path. We continue on the marked cart track, which higher up returns to the road and makes a left serpentine. After the serpentine, the path leads us across a steep and panoramic slope, from which we get a nice view towards Košenjak and Golica. The road then also leads past the climbing area Vranske peči and the junction to bivouac Suška bajta, then soon after crossing the torrent we leave it and continue on the marked path. An ascent through the forest follows, where we cross a smaller cart track, when we reach the cart track for the second time, we follow it to the left. The slope flattens here and after crossing the pasture fence we enter the pasture, where the trail gets lost, but we continue along the left edge of the forest. After the hunting observatory, the path turns slightly left and ascends to Obretanovo, where there are some buildings, including the Taborniški dom roda koroških jeklarjev Obretanovo hut.
We continue along the road, which after the gate brings us to a marked junction, where a marked path branches off slightly to the right towards Naravske ledine, but we continue to follow the road. At a smaller intersection, we go left, then past the abandoned quarry we arrive at the saddle south of Hom.
Here, still before the sign, we continue left onto a wider cart track, after a few steps we go slightly right onto an older track, along which we start ascending straight up the slope. Higher up, we cross a newer cart track, but we continue along the old one, partly already overgrown. We follow this steep path, which runs through the forest and from which only occasionally a small view opens towards the west, to the summit of Hom, where there is an inscription box.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2018 (April).
