border crossing Lipica - Kokoš (steep way)

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 right in the direction of »Kokoš strma pot« (steep path) (straight Kokoš on the road) on the path which starts ascending steeper through the forest. Higher, the path from the forest passes on smaller scree after which it flattens. Ahead by the path, we notice border stones and only a little further, the sign with the caption »pozor državna meja« (attention national border).
We continue on the Slovenian side on a marked footpath which further starts slightly descending and after few minutes joins the forest road which we left before. We continue slightly right and we follow the gentle road all the way to the top of Kokoš, where there is a mountain hut.
