Poljana - Andrejev vrh (over Volinjak and on cart track)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Ravne na Koroškem, then we continue driving towards Mežica. After Prevalje, we will arrive at the smaller settlement Poljana, where we park on the parking lot opposite the church of St. John the Baptist. Next to the parking lot there is the NOB monument and Kocka bar.
B) From Črna na Koroškem we drive towards Mežica and further towards Ravne na Koroškem. In the settlement Poljana, just a little after the crossroad where the road towards Austria branches off to the left, before the church of St. John the Baptist we turn left onto the parking lot by the NOB monument and by Kocka bar.
C) From the direction of Austria through the border crossing Holmec we drive into Slovenia, after a few kilometers at the crossroad we turn left towards Ravne na Koroškem. Just a little after the crossroad where we join the road Mežica - Prevalje, before the church of St. John the Baptist we turn left onto the parking lot by the NOB monument and by Kocka bar.

Path description:
From the starting point, we carefully cross the quite busy road Prevalje - Mežica, then at the junction of two macadam roads we continue on the left one, which continues behind the church of St. John the Baptist. Behind the church we once again continue right, then we lightly descend to the bridge over the river Meža. On the other side of the bridge we go left, then on a tree we notice a signpost which directs us right into the forest. After a short ascent on the cart track the path splits, and we choose the right path in the direction of Volinjak (slightly left Leše churches and Volinjak past the mentioned churches).
From the junction ahead we ascend transversely towards the right, the cart track on which we walk is marked with yellow arrows at the junctions. Higher the cart track makes some longer serpentines, then it brings us to panoramic hayfields below the farm Stovčnik. We continue to the farm, then above it, at the sign we cross a macadam road and continue into the forest, where yellow arrows on the trees also direct us. Next follows an ascent through the forest, and we continue to follow the yellow arrows, with the help of which higher we reach the indistinct ridge, where the path past the Leše churches joins from the left.
We continue right and past the statue of St. Mary, in a few minutes we arrive at the summit of Volinjak, from which some views open up.
From Volinjak we continue towards the southwest and begin to descend relatively steeply through the forest. After a few minutes the path levels out and brings us from the forest onto a panoramic meadow, which we cross in a slight descent. A little further we reach the macadam road, which we cross, then we continue on the slightly ascending road, which leads us past a larger chapel. After some 10 steps a marked path to Mežica branches off to the right downwards, and we continue on the macadam road towards the homestead Andrej. The path ahead leads us past the homestead Andrej, some 10 meters further a cart track branches off slightly to the left from the road, by which there is an old barrier.
We continue on the mentioned cart track, at the first junction we go right. Just a little further we arrive at the next junction, where we continue on the left cart track. On the cart track we then ascend for a few more minutes, when the cart track levels out on a smaller clearing, we turn right and in a few steps reach Andrejev vrh.
Poljana - Volinjak 1:35, Volinjak - Andrejev vrh 35 minutes.
