Access to starting point:
From the direction Ljubljana: From Primorska highway (A1) we leave the highway at Črni Kal and go on the old main road towards the sea. After 3 km on larger crossroad we turn left towards Hrastovlje and Croatian border and after 1 km once again like this. Through Kubed we come in Gračišče, where before school building we turn left towards Rakitovec, to which lead us signs through Smokvica and Movraž. After the end of the steepness we cross Pulj railway track and we turn right 1 km towards the border crossing Rakitovec, where we can park a car or 300 meters before the border crossing we turn left on a cart track and we park on a clearing approximately 2 km ahead - this shortens 100 meters height difference and half an hour of walking.
IZ SMERI KOPRA: From Kopra we go on the old main road towards Ljubljana. In Rižana we turn right towards Hrastovlje and we stick to the main road towards the border - further follow the upper description.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the border crossing we go northern towards chain of unvegetated peaks (Kavčič, Lipnik, Golič) on a cart track which we follow through the forest. After a half an hour of walking (2 km) we get to a clearing and we turn on the right cart track which we follow all the way to the top and we don't leave it (from there numerous forest paths branch off, but are visibly overgrown). The road starts at first ascending in zig-zags, after that most part with light ascent leads towards the summit. Past rocky cliff on the left after hundred meters of the steep path we get to carved passage, with what we enter in savanna landscape of chain of unvegetated peaks. From here we can go on a steep goat path left straight to the summit or we continue 15 more minutes on the road and through meadows we come to the top. Peaks are domed and indistinct, peak Kavčič we recognize by iron and wooden cross.
