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 which 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 a vast 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, which directs us to the right, but we continue along the road, only to leave it at a crossroads a few minutes away, at which there is a larger brick chapel.
From the crossroads continue right, on the path in the direction of Volinjak, where the path first leads us through hay fields and then gradually passes into the woods. Through the forest, follow the yellow arrows or lines, and after a fairly steep path, we reach the top of Volinjak, where there is a registration box, within a few minutes of further walking.
Leše - Leše churches 25 minutes, Leše churches - Volinjak 40 minutes.
