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 1 km, and then we get to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right on side asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we drive for 50 more meters and then on the left side we notice appropriate parking spot and by it signposts for the church of St. Kvirik.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the forest road in the direction of natural bridge, bunker and St. Kvirik. The road is at first ascending gently through a pine forest and bushes, after that a little steeper ascends and for some time leads over partly panoramic slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up towards Lačna and Gračišče. Higher, the path brings us in more plain terrain named Vela griža. Here the path, or road entirely flattens and then continues with some shorter ascents and descents above the village Lukini. A little further, we also bypass on the right side of the peak Gradec (413 meters), and gentle and occasionally also quite panoramic path quickly brings us to the church of St. Kvirik above Sočerga.
