Zazid - Krog

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. A short time we drive on the mentioned road, and then signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec point us to the left on a little narrower local road. Further, we drive to Bezovica, where at the smaller crossroad in the middle of the village we continue left in the direction of Podpeč. Further, we drive through Podpeč (road through the mentioned settlement is very narrow) to the village Zazid, where we park on a parking lot by the sports field.

Path description:
We start at the sports field, where we at first walk between the sports field and some sort of small grandstand. On the other side of the field the path goes among bushes, through which it starts lightly ascending. After few minutes of the ascent through bushes we step on a macadam road, on which we continue the ascent, and from there a nice view opens up on Jampršnik. The road quickly brings us on a small crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards the ridge of Jerebine (Jerebine is ridge between Hrastovlje and Zazid - the highest peak of the ridge is Zazidski Brgod 443 meters), and we continue straight on the road which gradually starts descending. The road quickly flattens, and then continues by an ample pastures. A little further, the road turns slightly to the right and crosses a grazing fence, and right on this spot we leave it and we continue straight on a marked cart track. We continue on a moderately ascending cart track which a little ahead joins also a marked path from Slavnik, railway station Zazid and the path from the starting point Martin dol. Here we go straight as well and we continue the ascent in the direction of Lačna. A little further in good visibility a view opens up on Alps, and the path after that descends and joins a wider cart track. When we step on the mentioned cart track, we continue left, and there in a little less than 10 minutes we ascend on a panoramic ridge, only few meters west from the peak Veliki Gradež.
Here a short pathless approach branches off to the left on the mentioned peak, and we continue straight on a marked path, which quickly descends to a bad forest road which we reach at the marked crossing. When we step on the road, we continue right (left Tri učke), and with nice views, we walk to the next crossing.
At the mentioned crossing, we continue straight in the direction of Lačna (right Kuk 1 minute) and then we are at first gently, and then for a short time steeper descending. Lower, the path flattens, and then it slowly stops descending, or later it starts lightly ascending. A little higher, the path brings us below the peak of Krog, where on an appropriate place we leave the marked path towards Lačna and in few minutes of easy pathless terrain we ascend to the top of Krog, from which if we step on the edge of the ridge a nice view opens up towards the west.
