Dekani - Tinjan (on descent route of circular path)

Access to starting point:
Highway Ljubljana - Koper we leave at exit Dekani, and then we follow the signs for the mentioned settlement. For some time we drive on the old road, and then we drive towards the center of Dekani, where we park on a parking lot near the parish church of the Assumption of Mary.

Path description:
In the center of Dekani, near the Mercator store, we notice an information board of a circular path Dekani - Tinjan - Dekani. We continue past the store, where from the crossroad we continue slightly left (right path of ascent of a circular path), and then at the crossings we follow the signs, which are in the shape of two lines, one blue and one red color. Higher, we ascend past the vineyard, and then we go from the cart track slightly left, on the path in the direction towards the waterfall. Next follows approximately a minute of easy walking and we get to the waterfall, which in dry days dries up.
Waterfall we bypass on the upper side, and then by the bridge we also cross the stream Struga. Few minutes of ascent through the forest follows, and then we reach the macadam road which we follow to the left (right the ascent path for circular path and Goli hrib), and we continue there to a smaller saddle, where there are pond and a crossing.
From the crossing, we go left (right hunting cottage Kolombar 1 minute) and we quickly get to the village Kolombar. In the middle of the settlement, on the retaining wall we notice signs for Tinjan, which is pointing to the left, and we go right on the path of return of a circular path. We continue on a gentle cart track which after the orchard passes into the forest, and when the cart track turns right, we go straight on a marked path. A little further, the path passes into a more dense forest, where it gradually starts descending diagonally, and in doing so it crosses few torrents. Descent soon ends, and we reach the cart track, on which we start ascending. On few crossings, we follow the signs, and we are ascending on a panoramic part, from where a nice view opens up towards Črni Kal and surrounding hills. Cart track higher widens into a macadam road, and it leads past a religious symbol, where used to stand church of St. Magdalena, and nearby also village Škofljica. Few steps ahead from the right joins also the path from Osp, and we continue straight. At the next crossing, we go once again straight, so that we on the right side bypass the water supply structure. Next follows a little steeper ascent on a cart track, and then we reach the viewpoint, from which a nice view opens up towards Osp, wall Osapska stena, Socerb and surrounding hills.
Here the path turns left and past the smaller cemetery ascends to the summit of Tinjan.
Dekani - waterfall 15 minutes, waterfall - hunting cottage 25 minutes, hunting cottage - Tinjan 50 minutes.
