Access to the starting point:
From the Primorska motorway, at the Srmin fork, follow the signs for Škofije and Ankaran, then take the Škofije exit. From the nearby roundabout, take the exit towards Škofije, then drive to the centre of the town, where you can park in one of the parking lots near the traffic lights, the pharmacy or the Mercator store.
Path description:
From where we parked, we first walk to the traffic lights, where we can already see the first signs. Continue on the south-east side of the road, then to the left of the bus stop, on a power pole, you will see the next marking, which will direct you to the asphalt path to the left of the nearby house. Signs for Tinjan then lead us over a cycle path, and a little further on we reach a road leading towards Tinjan. The road ahead takes you past the cemetery, and the scenic road, which offers a view of Trieste, begins to climb moderately. We continue to climb through Zgornje Škofije, but higher up the settlement ends and a few minutes later we reach a crossroads where the road to Kolombar and Slatini branches off to the right.
Continue straight ahead on the marked road, which is joined a little higher up on the right by the marked path from Dekani. When you arrive in Tinjan, the path leads you first past a chapel and then past a few houses to St Michael's Church on Tinjan hill, where the SPP stamp is located.
