Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Divača and we follow the road ahead in the direction of village Lokev and Lipica. Further, we drive through the village Lokev behind which we soon come to a crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards the village Lipica. Here we continue straight in the direction of Italy. Only a little before the border crossing (near the casino) we park on a macadam parking lot. Parking in front of casino is only for guests.
Path description:
Between the parking lot and border crossing we will notice a macadam road which from the main road branches off to the left. And after few steps we will by this road notice signposts for Kokoš. We continue on the road which is barely ascending and after approximately 30 minutes of ascent, the path brings us to a marked crossing. We continue on the road (right Kokoš steep path), which already after few additional minutes of walking, it brings us to the next crossing. We again continue on the road (left footpath), which further in few hairpin turns starts ascending steeper. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path brings us out of the forest, where from the right side steep path joins. We continue straight and the path quickly brings us to the top of Kokoš on which there is a mountain hut.
