Zazid - Golič (via Kojnik)

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. Further, we drive through Podpeč (road through the mentioned settlement is very narrow) to the village Zazid, where we park on a parking lot by the sports field.

Path description:
From the sports field we walk to the village, where we come to the unmarked crossroad, by which there are situated bench and tap with water. Here we continue right and we follow slightly ascending road to the upper part of the village, where we notice the first signs for Golič and Lipnik. We again continue right and we continue the ascent on an asphalt road which leads towards the nearby water catchment. Already few 10 meters before water catchment, we come on next unmarked crossroad, where we continue on the right macadam road. Macadam road then brings us to a smaller crossroad, by which there is situated next water trough. This time we continue on the left wider road, by which we quickly notice a blaze. For a short time, we continue on a bad road, after that marked shortcut branches off to the right. The path quickly returns on the road and already after few steps again splits into two parts. Wherever we continue, the path will quickly bring us to a railway track and decaying railway station Zazid. We carefully cross a railway track, which leads towards Pula, and on the other side of it we get to a marked crossing (to here we need approximately 20 minutes).
We continue left in the direction of Kraški rob (right Lipnik) and we continue on a wide cart track which is diagonally ascending above the railway track. Cart track soon flattens, and then starts descending a little. After few minutes of descent, we will notice signs for Kraški rob, which point us to the right into the forest. The path ahead is at first moderately, and then steeper and steeper ascending through the forest. Higher, we ascend over the rocky part of Kraški rob, from the top of which a beautiful view opens up.
Above the steep part there is marked crossing, and we continue right in the direction of Kojnik (left Jampršnik). The path ahead for some time continues by Kraški rob, and then turns left in the forest and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a forest road which we follow to the right. The road little higher brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue on the left road, and it quickly brings us to the hunting cottage Kojnik. A little above cottage we leave a worse road and we continue the ascent left in the forest on a marked path. After a short ascent, we step out of the forest and the path brings us on panoramic grassy slopes, on which we diagonally ascend. Above panoramic slopes path passes into a pleasant pine forest, through which we ascend to the top of Kojnik.
From Kojnik we continue on a marked path in the direction of Žbevnica, and it starts gently descending. After few minutes of descent, the path brings us by stone fence, by which we then continue. The path ahead leads us partly on a grassy cart track, and partly on occasionally poorly visible and partly also overgrown footpath. Panoramic path, which mostly runs on meadows, then slightly ascends and brings us on a wider cart track. We continue on a cart track which on the left side bypasses the peak with antennas, and then gradually gets closer to the foot of the northeastern secondary peak of Golič. Here cart the track steeply ascends and after approximately 15 minutes of additional walking brings us on Golič (secondary peak - peak with inscription box and "cross").
From the secondary peak, we slightly descend, and then in a moderate ascent we reach higher, but less distinct peak of Golič.
From the peak with a "cross" and to Golič we have good 20 minutes of walking.
