We drive to Ankaran, after that from a roundabout we turn on Regentova ulico. Before the road starts ascending (after 10 meters), in front of the post office we turn right, where we park on a payable parking lot in the center of Ankaran.
Path description:
By the edge of the parking lot, near the Mercator store, we notice an information board of Bebler mountain path. At first, we ascend on the stairs, where there are next to Knafelc blazes also signs for Bebler mountain path, the path quickly brings us on an asphalt road, on which we ascend past the parish church of St Nikolaj in Ankaran. A bit higher the road ends, and through the part with a nice view we pass over in the forest. Next follows a diagonal ascent through the forest, where we are ascending on the slopes of Črni vrh (peak is know also under the name Iskra), and then we reach a macadam road which we follow to the left (right Črni vrh). The road soon becomes asphalted, and at the crossroads, we follow the blazes. The path ahead leads us through Hrvatini, when priority road turns right, we continue straight, and a little higher we cross the main road. After the crossing of the main road, at first we continue on a little narrower street, after that behind the Mercator store we go right.
At the store we leave Knafelc blazes and further we follow the signs of Bebler mountain path.
To few minutes distant primary school of dr. Aleš Bebler - Primož in Hrvatini we continue with occasional views and without large changes in altitude, and behind the school we go right downwards. Behind the school sports field we go once again right and start steeply descending. Lower, we cross the main road, and further we are for some time only gently descending. The path ahead brings us by the edge of vineyards and again starts a little more descending. Lower view towards the port Luka Koper opens up, and even lower we reach the main road towards Ankaran. We follow the road to the right, on first pedestrian crossing we cross it, and then we continue left. A short time we walk in the direction of Koper, and then we continue right towards the barracks. When we reach a fenced area we go right, when the fenced area ends, we soon reach a macadam road. On the road, we walk to football field ŠRC Katarina Ankaran, where home games plays NK Ankaran Hrvatini, behind the football field we get to St Katarina (Zaliv Polje), where the path first time gets very close to Slovenian coast. Signs for Bebler mountain path after that lead by the coast, from where there is a nice view towards the sea and Koper, and soon we also get to the cemetery of clams and snails. Through a swampy part we walk on a paved path, and then the path slightly ascends to monument to dr. Aleš Bebler. At the monument, we reach the main road, next to it we walk to a roundabout, where at a pedestrian crossing we cross the main road, and then we walk to the beginning or the end of the circular path.
