Leše - Koča na Naravskih ledinah (through Kot pri Prevaljah and via Suška bajta)

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 farmhouses, and at the crossroads, follow the signs for KPP or Nature's Ledine.
At the Pečnik farm, continue straight on, 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, crossing 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 after the climbing centre we leave the marked trail and continue to the right in the direction of "Suško lane". The path ascends the slope and then, at a higher level, it briefly crosses to the left. The path continues over a steep ravine, where the transition becomes steeper, and then gradually lays down and leads us to a small preval, where the bivouac Suška bajta is located.
From Suška bajta go left (straight Mežica and Leše past St Lenart), then after a short climb join the path leading from Mežica towards Uršlji gori.
Continue left along the path, which leads to the steep slopes of Suško vrh (the area known as the Suško plazas), where there is a risk of avalanches and slipping in the snow. Cross these slopes first, then ascend crosswise and reach higher ground on the eastern forested ridge of Suško vrh, where the path from the Dukles hunting lodge and the great crested grebe roosting area joins from the right. Continue straight ahead, initially slightly downhill, and then, with views that reach all the way to Golica / Koralpa, reach the homestead of Obretan (Obretanovo), where the better-marked path from Leš joins us on the left and where the Obretanovo camping home of the family of the Carinthian steelworkers is also located.
We continue along the road, which leads us to a marked crossroads after the gate, and we continue the other way to the right, on a path that ascends and does not descend, and we see the sign Godec next to it. The way ahead leads us without major ascents and descents, but quickly leads us to a road where the path forks, and the crossroads is not particularly marked.
Continue right along the forest road (straight on the ascending cart track Godec farm and Uršlja gora over Kozji hrbet), from which the signs for Naravske ledine soon direct us left up onto the footpath, where we then follow the markings. When walking on the cart track, which crosses the slopes, before it ends, you must continue down to the right and then cross the slopes on the mountain path. There is a short crossing of steeper slopes, and then descend the log steps back to the forest road (you can also walk on the forest road up to this point). The road, from which we get a temporary view, soon opens up again and we leave the road and continue left on the path, which "cuts" over a small hill on a slightly longer curve in the road.
Just before we return to the road, which we continue to cross, we are joined on the left by the marked path from Raven na Koroškem. On the other side of the road, we continue through the forest for a short distance, and then the path leads us along the lower part of the meadow, where we join the path from Žerjav.
From the crossroads, continue along the right-hand edge of the meadow, and after 5 minutes of moderate ascent, walk to the Cottage on the Naravski Lediny.
