Dekani - Tinjan (on ascent route of circular path)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the motorway Ljubljana - Koper at exit Dekani, then follow the signs for the settlement. Drive along the old road for a while and then head towards the centre of Dekani, where you park in the parking lot near the parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Path description:
In the centre of Dekani, near the Mercator shop, you can see the information board of the Dekani - Tinjan - Dekani circular route. Continue past the shop, turning right at the crossroads (slightly left to retrace the circular route), then follow the signs for Tinjan, or the circular route, at the crossroads. Further on, the road first becomes gravel, and a little higher up it changes to cart track. From the wide cart track, which gives some views towards the coast, we soon turn right onto a footpath which becomes completely flat. Walk for a few minutes without any major changes in elevation, then at a bench with a table the path turns left and starts to climb. Climb steeply for a few minutes, following the occasional scenic path, and then reach Goli hrib, where the next bench with a table is located.
From the top, there is a short descent through the forest, then you reach a minor road, which you follow to the right. A path quickly joins from the left past a waterfall (the return route of the circular route), and we continue along the road to a small pass, where there is a waterfall and a crossroads.
From the crossroads go left (hunting shelter Kolombar 1 minute on the right) and quickly arrive in the village of Kolombar. In the middle of the village, on a steel cable, you can see the markings for Tinjan pointing left (right return route of the circular path), so walk along the asphalt road for a short distance, and from there, after the nearby house, go right on the marked path, which continues to climb crosswise to the right. Higher up, the path turns left and leads to an asphalt road where it joins the path from Škofija.
Continue to the right, and then, passing a chapel and a few houses, you will quickly reach the church at the top of Tinjana, where the SPP stamp is located in front of the church walls.
Dekani - Goli hrib 40 minutes, Goli hrib - hunting shelter 15 minutes, hunting shelter - Tinjan 25 minutes.
