Zazid - Golič (via Lipnik)

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 right in the direction of Lipnik and Golič (left Brežec and Kraški rob) and we continue on a gentle cart track which is ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher beautiful views start to open up towards the sea and Istra, and we continue on a gently sloping path, which returns into the forest and it brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Lipnik (left Golič and Kraški rob) and we continue through a lane of bushes. When we step from bushes path brings us on a wide grassy "plain", from which a nice view opens up on Lipnik. Through "plain" we walk for quite some time, then signpost for Lipnik points us left into the forest. The path ahead gradually steeply ascends, and then turns slightly towards the right, where in a moderate ascent ascends over steep part of Kraški rob. After edge path flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Kavčič - caption on rock (left Lipnik 5 minutes, straight memorial plaque). The path ahead gently ascends on a panoramic grassy slope, and then turns slightly towards the left and gradually starts descending towards a smaller valley. The path then flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to a wider cart track, where there is also a marked crossing.
The mentioned cart track we only cross and we continue the ascent straight on the mountain path in the direction of Golič (right Kavčič). The path ahead ascends on a grassy slope and it quickly brings us to cave Nadglavinjak. Cave or abyss we bypass on the left side, and the path over more and more panoramic slope quickly brings us on an indistinct Glavinjak, from which a nice view opens up towards the north and east.
On Glavinjak marked path turns left and starts gently descending. After few minutes of gentle descent, the path ascends a little and it quickly brings us to the summit Goliča, in the middle of which stands a smaller cairn and next to it caption Golič 890 meters.
From Golič we can continue on a marked path also on the nearby northeastern secondary peak, on which there are "cross" and inscription box. To there we have for approximately 20 minutes of walking on very panoramic grassy ridge.
