Access to starting point:
From the coastal highway, from Koper we drive towards Izola and ahead on the main road towards Portorož. After the stone pine avenue, where there grow 110 stone pines (Pinus pinea), at the roundabout we turn right towards Strunjan. Through Strunjan we drive to a large payable parking lot, which is situated near the beach.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue right towards Hotel Svoboda, and at the crossings we follow the blazes of European long distance path. Behind the hotel we leave the asphalt and we continue slightly left, on the path which gradually passes into the forest. The path ahead leads us above the upper edge of cliff Strunjanski klif, so that occasionally a nice view opens up towards the sea and coast. Next follows few minutes of a steeper ascent, and then the path flattens and in few minutes of additional walking, we get to the cross Strunjanski križ, from which a nice view opens up.
