Praproče - Zjat

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Ljubljana - Koper motorway at exit Kastelec, then follow the signs for Podgorje. Before Podgorje, turn right onto the road towards Praproče, and at the sign marking the beginning of Praproče, continue along the road on the left and park 50 metres further along the road in the marked parking area.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the connecting cart track road back to the right and walk towards the centre of the village. At the first houses, the marked path to Marija Snežna branches off to the right, and we follow the road down to the lower part of the village, where we go around the houses on the right-hand bypass road. On the other side of the village there is a small cemetery, an NOB memorial and a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue in the direction of Podpeč and Hrastovlje, and we will soon turn right off the road onto a forest path. Cross the slightly wider cart track and continue climbing gently to moderately for a short distance, then reach the ridge of Ribri, where the path begins to descend. The descent ends quickly and is followed by crossing a macadam road (right Podpeč along the road and Črnotiče).
Crossing a pasture fence and a short descent. The forest thins out as it continues, then gives way to karst meadows. There is some more scenic walking along the Karst Edge, and then you reach the unmarked peak of Zjat, from where you have a beautiful view of Podpeč and the surrounding hills.
