Poljana - Leše churches

Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Ravne na Koroškem, then continue to Mežica. After Prevalje, you will reach the small settlement of Poljana, where you will park in the parking lot opposite the Church of St. John the Baptist. Next to the parking lot there is a memorial to the National Liberation Day and a Kocka bar.
b) From Črna na Koroškem we drive towards Mežica and further towards Ravne na Koroškem. In the village of Poljana, just after the crossroads where the road to Austria turns left, turn left in front of the Church of St. John the Baptist into the parking lot next to the NOB memorial and the Kocka bar.
c) From the route of Austria, drive into Slovenia via Border crossing Holmec and after a few kilometres turn left at the crossroads towards Ravenna na Koroškem. Just after the crossroads, where you join the Mežica - Prevalje road, turn left in front of the Church of St. John the Baptist into the parking lot by the NOB memorial and the Kocka bar.

Path description:
From the starting point, carefully cross the fairly busy road Prevalje - Mežica, then at the junction of two macadam roads continue along the left-hand side, which continues behind the Church of St. John the Baptist. After the church, turn right once more and then descend gently to the bridge over the Mež River. On the other side of the bridge, go left and then you will see a signpost on a tree pointing you right into the forest. After a short climb on cart track, the path splits, and we take a slight left in the direction of Leše churches (right Volinjak).
Continue on cart track, which ascends transversely to the left, following the yellow markers at the crossroads. Higher up, the forest ends and you can see Leše churches just a short walk away.
