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. A short time we drive on the mentioned road, and then signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec point us to the left on a little narrower local road. Further, we drive to Bezovica, where at the smaller crossroad in the middle of the village we continue left in the direction of Podpeč. Because in Podpeč aren't any appropriate parking spots, we can park on an appropriate place by the road before or after the village (this extends the path for 5 to 15 minutes).
Path description:
The beginning of the path, we will find just before the sign, which marks the end of Podpeč. Here blazes point us left into the forest, through which we start steeply ascending. Steep path soon for some time flattens and turns to the left, where crosses pretty steep and for slipping dangerous slopes. At the end of the crossing, the path turns to the right and with the help of wire fence steeply ascends towards defense tower from 11th century. Tower, which is usually closed we bypass on the right side and further we are ascending on a little less steep slope. After few minutes of walking from the tower path flattens and brings us on an ample karst meadows above steep slope of Kraški rob. Here we continue left and by the edge of the cliffs ascend on an indistinct, but very panoramic Zjat.
