The best days are when the sun shyly peeks out instead of the forecasted rain. When it struck noon on Saturday, 29.11.2014, I still didn't know exactly where to go alone. Lacking inspiration, I drove to Sistiana and continued exploring path no. 23, which I discovered a week earlier. More at the link:

I started walking at the end of Sistiana or the Sv. Mavra settlement. From the Sistiana-Nabrežina road, turn right just before the bridge where the railway runs, and after less than a km, park near the warehouse hall of the forwarding company. Along path 23, after about 10 minutes, I reached the water tower and continued along the trail that runs through partly overgrown, partly rocky karst terrain among sage bushes. After about 20 minutes, I reached the next junction, where path 23 turns left and quickly leads to the hall where I parked. I continued on the right path no.1. The trail descends steeply through the forest, thus bypassing the houses that would be straight ahead. After a few minutes, it joins a cart track where path no. 1 joins from the coastal road to Trieste. I quickly climbed up the cart track to the next junction. Left along the cart track, in a few minutes back to the starting point at the hall. I continued right along the trail and reached the Tiziana Weiss viewpoint. Further on, the path splits. I chose the right path along the edge over increasingly rocky and scenic terrain. The rocky outcrops along the path were created during the construction of the railway tunnel that runs under the path. Further on, path no. 1 soon joins the Fishermen's Path from Nabrežina, which turns steeply down the slope and leads to the sea at the pier near Čupe. Along the Fishermen's Path, I went only to the Pod Oljščico viewpoint and then returned to path no. 1. The path crosses the railway line over a bridge and continues under the secondary school in Nabrežina along the educational trail. The wide and flat path is quite visited and popular with both walkers and runners. After about 15 minutes, I reached an unmarked junction where the educational trail turns left uphill, straight ahead it continues to the village of Križ. Path no. 1 turns off about 5 minutes earlier, but I missed the junction. After a short ascent, I reached the water tower hidden in the woods, so for the views, you need to go to the top of the tower. The rusted and partly rotten staircase requires some caution.
I returned the same way, but at the junction at the T. Weiss viewpoint, I shortened the route along the cart track and trail past the hall.
The path from the water tower in Sistiana to the water tower in Nabrežina mostly goes flat. Due to the rocky terrain, good hiking footwear is not superfluous. Since the path runs between a busy railway and road, it's quite noisy. But the views of the wide sea, which adorn most of the path, make up for it. I'd estimate the length at 2-2.5 hours each way, I took 3.5 hours with countless stops.
