Zazid - Krog

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Črni Kal. From Črni Kal, continue along the old road towards the sea, and we take it only as far as the next slightly larger crossroads, where we turn left towards Border crossing Sočerga. We follow the road for a short distance and then the signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec direct us to the left onto a slightly narrower local road. Continue to Bezovica, where at a small crossroads in the middle of the village, turn left towards Podpeči. Continue through Podpeč (the road through the village is very narrow) to the village of Zazid, where you park in the parking lot next to the sports ground.

Path description:
We start at the sports ground, where we initially walk between the pitch and a small stand. On the other side of the pitch, the path passes through bushes and starts to climb gently. After a few minutes of climbing through the bushes, you will come out on a dirt road, which you will continue to climb, and from which you will have a beautiful view of Jampršnik. The road quickly leads us to a small crossroads, where the road branches off to the right towards the Jerebine ridge (Jerebine is the ridge between Hrastovlje and Zazid - the highest peak of the ridge is Zazidski Brgod 443 m), and we continue straight along the road, which gradually begins to descend. The road quickly flattens out and then continues along the vast pastures. A little further on, the road turns slightly to the right and crosses a pasture fence, but we leave it at this point and continue straight on along the marked cart track. Continue on the moderately ascending cart track, which is joined a little further on by a waymarked trail with Slavnik, Ž. P. Zazid and the trail from the starting point Martin down. Continue straight ahead here and continue the ascent in the direction of Lačná. A little further on, with good visibility, a view of the Alps opens up, and the path then descends and joins the wider cart track. Once on the cart track, continue to the left, and in less than 10 minutes we will climb it to a scenic ridge, just a few metres west of the summit of Veliki Gradež.
Here, a short, pathless approach to the summit branches off to the left, and we continue straight along the marked path, which quickly descends to a worse forest road, only to reach it at a marked crossroads. Once on the road, continue right (left Tri učke), and we walk to the second crossroads, taking in the fine views.
At this crossroads, continue straight on in the direction of Lačná (right Kuk 1 minute), descending steeply at first and then more steeply for a short time. Lower down, the path flattens out, then slowly stops descending, or later begins to climb gently. Slightly higher, the path leads us under the top of Krog, where we leave the marked path towards Lačna at a suitable place and climb to the top of Krog in a few minutes of easy pathlessness, from which, if we step on the edge of the ridge, a beautiful view opens up to the west.
