From AP in the centre of Črna we turn left towards the East in the direction of Šoštanj. The blazes lead us next to Javorski stream past the hotel Krnes, the medical centre and the school through the settlement Lampreče in lower Javorje. After 3 km or 45 minutes we get to the farmhouse Drol (Javorje 4). Here we leave the Javorska valley and the main road and walk to the right to the southeast into the valley of Koroška Kramarica to the Ludranski top. We have to stay on the asphalt road for another kilometre until we reach the settlement Prhanija, where we turn left over a bridge and past the settlement Grabnar (Ludranski top 12). We continue to Silvester (Ludranski top 9) on a macadam road. Above the farm we have to cross a footbridge and a field to the edge of the forest and from there we follow the cart tracks. After half an hour we get back on the road which we left before Silvester. Only a few steps and we leave the road and take the cart track path up to the left curve and then back to the right to our original direction. We find ourselves on Kramarica next to the chapel and monument dedicated to the fallen Partisans. We continue to Smrekovec by walking straight ahead and around the rocky ridge to a road that leads from Črna. If we follow it by car we get to the lodge on Smrekovec. We follow it for 2,5 km or 40 minutes. We leave the road following a path to the right which rises slightly and after 10 minutes it gets us to the wide fields before the lodge of Smrekovec.

URŠLJA MOUNTAIN: 1655 m above sea level (hut)
ALTITUDE DIFERENCE: 583 m
WALKING TIME: 1,5 h
Our path from Žerjav to Naravske Ledine can be continued to the top of the Uršlja mountain, or the lodge on Uršlja mountain. From the lodge we rise up a field towards the south, cross the road and go through a small forest where we reach a beautiful meadow. We turn left towards the east and cross the grassy land. On the other side we fin a wide cart track road in the forest which will be our path all the way to Luže, where the road will split towards the Kozji hrbet (Goat back) down into the valley. We go right towards the south under the power lines to the west ridge of the Uršlja mountain. After a few minutes of walking on the ridge we reach the top of the 1.697 m high Uršlja mountain. It is only a few meters to the lodge if we stay on track continuing towards the east. The path is easy.

NARAVSKE LEDINE: 1072 m above sea level
ALTITUDE DIFERENCE: 592 m
WALKING TIME: 2 h
The marked path starts at AP Žerjav. in the first 100 metres we go towards Mežica past the fuel station and straight after the bridge over Meža right to the east, to the valley of Jazbina. First we walk through the mining settlement, and later the building become more and more rare. We walk past the last houses to the crssroads where the asphalt road ends. Here we turn left across a small bridge and continue on a macadam road. After 4 km or 1 hour of walking we get to a split in the road where we take the left turn nrtheast down a narrow forest road that rises slightly past the former farm Krstavčnik - now holiday home (Jazbina 19). The blazes lead us further down the road to the north-east. we cross a stream and after two curves we gain a bit altitude. A few more minutes of dusty road and we turn from the road to Rupah. The cart track road is our next path. It turns towards the east into the forest. After 100 meters we have to make sure we turn left, north from the path to another one that takes up the hill. In a long half circle we climb to on to the ridge. the ridge road soon ends and only a dark hollow seperates us from the sunny field right under the lodge. We turn right and at the edge of the forest we reach the lodge on Naravske ledine after a few meters. This path is considered to be easy.
