Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Kozina, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Koper. When a little after the settlement Petrinje road starts descending towards Črni Kal, we need to pay attention, because we will after the road sign 7.5 km turn right on a side road, and from there after a little less than 200 meters left. From the mentioned crossroad, we drive a little less than 200 meters and then we park on large asphalt parking lot.
The starting point is appropriate, if we come from the direction Kozina, because from the opposite direction it is prohibited to turn on a side road. If we come from the direction Črni Kal or Kastelec, then starting point Žlebinje is more appropriate.
Path description:
On the northern side of a larger parking lot we notice a cart track, on which we continue, and then we quickly get to an old benches. After the benches cart track changes into slightly overgrown footpath, from which a nice view opens up on the nearby Tinjan. Few minutes we walk by some sort of edge, and then the path turns slightly to the right and it brings us to a macadam road, on which we continue straight. Some 10 strides ahead from the left joins the path from Kastelec and one of the paths from Osp.
We go again straight or slightly right, after that a minute or two ahead we get to the spot, where we join the path from the village Petrinje (on the mentioned crossing we also reach SPP).
We continue left in the direction of Socerb (right Petrinje and Slavnik), on further wider macadam road which leads us on karst landscape. Few minutes ahead we reach an asphalt road which we quickly leave because blazes lead slightly right, on the path which past the cave Sveta jama (entrance into a cave is locked) in few minutes leads back on an asphalt road. When we again reach the road, we walk there all the way to the castle Socerb, from which a nice view opens up.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2016 (June).
