Gračišče - Lačna

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Črni Kal. From Črni Kal we continue driving on the old road towards the coast, and we are driving there only to the next little bigger crossroad, where we turn left in the direction of border crossing Sočerga. On the mentioned road, we drive past the settlement Kubed to the village Gračišče, where at the crossroad we turn left in the direction of Rakitovec, Movraž and Smokvica. Only few 10 meters ahead (at the primary school), or just before the sign end of Gračišče we turn left on a side road, where we park on an appropriate place by its beginning (higher there aren't any appropriate parking spots).
To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of coast, namely through settlements Prade, Pobegi, Čežarji, and Sveti Anton.

Path description:
On the road, by which we've parked, we ascend to the near church, and then through dense part of the settlement becomes orientation a little harder. We continue on a marked road (blazes are very rare), and then the road soon turns right, where slightly descends. After a short descent, we come to a smaller crossroad, where at the power line pole we continue right, and then behind the house we notice the first signs for Lačna and tower there.
Behind the house, we continue left and on a narrower road ascends to the last house in the village.
From here we continue on a marked cart track which starts ascending steeper. Cart track quickly brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Lačna (left cave Lisičji grad). The path ahead ascends diagonally and out of the forest quickly brings us on a panoramic slope, from which a nice view opens up on Gračišče and surrounding hills. The path higher turns slightly to the left and only a few meters higher joins the gentle cart track which we follow to the right. On the cart track, we continue only few minutes, and then signs for tower point us to the left on a footpath, on which in a minute of additional walking, we get to the top of Lačna.
From the top, we can ascend also on a lookout tower, from which a nice view opens up towards Slavnik, Učka, Gulf of Trieste, and in good weather all the way to Dolomites and Julian Alps.
