Komare doline - Kuk

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. On the mentioned road, we drive past the settlement Kubed to the village Gračišče, where at the crossroad we turn left in the direction of Rakitovec, Movraž and Smokvica. From Gračišče we drive for approximately 800 meters and then by the road we notice the blazes and caption on rock for Lačna, which point us to the left. Here we park on an appropriate place by the road. The starting point is located approximately 50 meters before the next smaller crossroad.
To the starting point, we can also come from the direction of coast, namely through settlements Prade, Pobegi, Čežarji, and Sveti Anton.

Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a marked footpath in the direction of Lačna. The path at first crosses quite overgrown meadow, and then joins a wider cart track, on which we continue. At the crossings, we follow the blazes, and the cart track higher changes into a little steeper and on some spots also overgrown mountain path. Higher some view opens up on surrounding hills, and the path only a little further brings us on the ridge of Lačna, where we also step on a wide cart track.
We follow the cart track to the right (left Lačna 15 minutes), and in few gentle ascents and descents it leads on quite panoramic ridge. A little further, the path leads us past a natural cave, and only a little ahead we come on an indistinct, but panoramic peak Vrh križa.
From Vrh križa we continue on a marked cart track, and it passes into a lane of pine forest, which ends with medium large clearing. In the middle of the clearing, we notice a small rocky cairn, which marks unmarked path on the nearby Krog, and we still continue on a cart track which crosses one more short lane of a forest and then it passes on less vegetated slopes. Here in front of us we already notice gentle northwestern slopes of Kuk, and the path ahead leads in a gentle ascent slightly towards the right. Higher, the path for a short time ascends a little steeper, and then it flattens and it brings us on a wide and gentle upper slope of Kuk, where there is also a marked crossing.
Here we continue in the direction of Kuk, to which we only have a minute easy and panoramic walking.
