Zazid - 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 Kraški rob path flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the peak Lipnik (straight memorial plaque, right Kavčič and Golič). We continue on a gentle and very panoramic path, on which in 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the top.
