Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Kozina. We follow the road ahead towards Koper to the village Petrinje, where we go left in the direction of Podgorje. The road which at first steeply ascends soon brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left. Ahead we drive to the village Podgorje, where we park on a large parking lot near the sports field.
Access from Koper: On old road we drive towards Postojna and only a little after the village Črni Kal sharply to the right, the road branches off towards Vasi Podgorje. We follow this road to a large parking lot near the sports field, which is situated in the village Podgorje.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return to the main road which we follow ahead in the direction of driving. After few ten meters we get to a crossroad, where wooden signposts point us to towards Kojnik. At the crossroad, we continue on the road in the direction of Kojnik. The road which runs without changes in altitude has at the beginning some crossroads but we everywhere continue on the one that is "the main". Here and there we can notice some faded blaze, which marks the path towards Kojnik. After a time the road gradually starts ascending and a little higher brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left. And we follow this road only few minutes to the spot, where on a smaller clearing cart track branches off right upwards. We go on this cart track which after a short ascent brings us on a smaller saddle on the ridge. Here, where the cart track ends we continue right on a worse and quite an overgrown path, which is barely ascending by the edge of the cliffs. After approximately 15 minutes of walking on and by the ridge we step on an indistinct peak from which a nice view opens up towards the sea.
