Zazid - Golič (via Kojnik)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, we take the Črni Kal exit. From Črni Kal, we continue driving on the old road towards the coast, but we drive along it only to the next somewhat larger intersection, where we turn left towards the Sočerga border crossing. We drive on the mentioned road for a short time, then signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec direct us left onto a somewhat narrower local road. We then drive to the village of Bezovica, where at a smaller intersection in the middle of the village we continue left towards Podpeč. We then drive through Podpeč (the road through the mentioned place is very narrow) to the village of Zazid, where we park on the parking lot by the sports field.

Path description:
From the sports field we walk to the village, where we come to an unmarked intersection, by which there are a bench and a water tap. Here we continue right and follow the 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 continue the ascent on the asphalt road that leads to the nearby water catchment. Already some 10 m before the water catchment, we come to the next unmarked intersection, where we continue on the right macadam road. The macadam road then brings us to a smaller intersection, by which there is the next water trough. This time we continue on the left wider road, by which we quickly notice the marking. We continue on the poorer road for a short time, then a marked shortcut branches off to the right. The path quickly returns to the road and already after a few steps splits again into two parts. Wherever we continue, the path will quickly bring us to the railway track and the decaying railway station Zazid. We carefully cross the railway track that leads towards Pula, and on the other side of it we arrive at a marked junction (to here we need approximately 20 minutes).
We continue left in the direction of Kraški rob (right Lipnik) and continue on the wide cart track that ascends diagonally above the railway track. The cart track soon flattens, then starts to descend somewhat. After a few minutes of descent, we will notice signs for Kraški rob that direct us right into the forest. The path ahead first ascends moderately, then more and more steeply through the forest. Higher up, we ascend over the rocky step of Kraški rob, from the top of which a beautiful view opens up.
Above the steep step there is a marked junction, and we continue right in the direction of Kojnik (left Jampršnik). The path ahead continues for some time along Kraški rob, then turns left into the forest and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the right. The road brings us somewhat higher to a smaller intersection, where we continue on the left road, which quickly brings us to the hunting shelter Kojnik. Somewhat above the shelter we leave the poorer road and continue the ascent left into the forest on the marked path. After a shorter ascent we step out of the forest and the path brings us to panoramic grassy slopes, across which we ascend diagonally. Above the panoramic slope the path passes into a pleasant pine grove, through which we ascend to the top of Kojnik.
From Kojnik we continue on the marked path in the direction of Žbevnica, which starts to descend gently. After a few minutes of descent the path brings us by a stone fence, by which we then continue. The path ahead leads partly along a grassy cart track, partly along an occasionally less visible and partly overgrown path. The panoramic path, which mostly runs across meadows, then ascends slightly and brings us to a wider cart track. We continue on the cart track, which bypasses the peak with antennas on the left side, then gradually approaches the foot of the northeastern forepeak of Golič. Here the cart track ascends more steeply and after approximately 15 minutes of further walking brings us to Golič (forepeak - peak with the logbook box and "cross").
From the forepeak we descend slightly, then in a moderate ascent reach the higher but less pronounced peak of Golič.
From the peak with the "cross" to Golič we have a good 20 minutes of walking.
