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 a marked crossing, and we continue left (right Kojnik) and we continue on panoramic and occasionally quite an overgrown path which continues above Kraški rob. A little further from the right a cart track joins, which comes from Podgorje, and we continue in the same direction. This path, which occasionally ascends a little steeper, otherwise it is entirely gentle, we follow all the way to an indistinct, but precipitous Jampršnik, and we reach it after few minutes of additional walking.
