On Sunday we decided to go climb a bit in Glinščica Valley too.
When we arrived it was blowing strongly, but that didn't convince us to drop our goal.
We dressed well, equipped ourselves and went down the road, then turned right uphill where the climbing start was.
Besides us there were excellent leaders who showed us climbing basics, led us for three hours, the feeling of rock contact is indescribably beautifuljezikvelik nasmeh.
We were a mega company, enthusiastic and determined to do this many more timesvelik nasmeh

On Ash Wednesday 44 hikers from PD Velenje took part in a wonderful hike through the Glinščica river valley. The path led us to Kozina, past the Krvavi potok border crossing and then to the starting point in the village of San Lorenzo (Jezero), 6 km before Trieste. More in the description.

Route description:

Glinščica Valley (Val Rosandra)–nature reserve in the hinterland of Trieste.

We traveled by bus to Kozina and then via the former Krvavi potok border crossing towards Trieste. We set off on the path into the Glinščica valley from the village of San Lorenzo (Jezero) and descended along a trail to the karst edge. We walked along the top part of the cliffs of the Glinščica valley for quite some time. The canyon cuts the karst plateau on average 300 meters deep. The view opens all the way to the sea, and to the steep and deep incision in the Karst edge carved by the Glinščica stream, which springs on the Slovenian side in the village of Klanec pri Kozini (also called Sv. Peter na Modrasu). On the Friendship Path, which we did not traverse fully, there are also the villages Beka and Ocizla on the Slovenian side. Under Ocizla and Beka there are several active caves and sinkholes forming an important cave system. Our path brought us from the canyon cliff to the track of the former Hrpelje–Kozina-Trieste railway, which we crossed and descended a bit more to the village of Botač (Botazzo), where our path joined the aforementioned Friendship Path. Here begins the Glinščica Valley Nature Park (Val Rosandra), 503 hectares in size, kingdom of rock walls and overhangs, hawthorn, blackthorn and briar. In Botač we had a rest for a snack from our own backpack, the mountain station or small buffet is not always open. We continued along the left bank of the Glinščica river, where the view soon opened to a waterfall that falls from a height of 36 m into a deep pool. Along the path there are also remains of a Roman aqueduct. Then we headed left uphill to the Gothic chapel of St. Mary and the ruins of Robida castle, hidden in blackthorn and blackberry thickets. Both cultural monuments are from the 15th century. Slovenian pilgrims once went to the chapel, the castle was part of the Istrian county's defense system. After World War II, with the strictest of all borders in the history of these places, the areas froze; only Triestine Karst lovers and climbers visited the valley. After descending from the chapel and ruins we stopped in Zgornji Konec (Bagnoli) at the mountain hut REFUGIO MARIO PREMUDA at 85 m altitude. At this time of year on weekdays the hut is not open, otherwise in the hut you can have a coffee, quench your thirst and also eat something warm.
From here the valley spreads into several ends, towards the sea the river passes the place Boljunec (Bagnoli) and Aquilina (Žavlje), emptying into the Adriatic Sea in the Žavlje bay. After a short stop we continued the path along the left bank of Glinščica, past the hut, climbed the bank and in less than an hour of moderate walking along a nicely laid shady path in the shelter of trees and coastal vegetation returned to the village of San Lorenzo, where we also concluded our rambling through the Glinščica valley. We returned via the Lipica border crossing and through the hamlet Lokev on the Karst and continued the drive past Divača back to the motorway and home.

Hello Hribovc88!
Although I'm a local I've never heard that the village Klanec pri Kozini is called Sv. Peter na Modrasu...And also, that the village Lokev (which we consider the largest village in Slovenia) with over 350 house numbers is a hamlet, I didn't know that until now...

Lots of nice things have already been written about Glinščica. It really offers a lot, now it's already real spring. Unfortunately there's little water, so the river looks like a trout spawn, the waterfall is just a slightly bigger trickle. But that's why you could probably walk where you usually can't, along the bed. Today I was there maybe the fifth time, and each time a bit differently. Today's starting point was Boljunec, the official parking is the F. Prešeren Cultural Center, which you can easily find. Boljunec is a small place with a small core. We continue on foot along a narrow road towards the Mountain Hut, which lies at the lowest karst height in the Alps, I think.
Today there was a bit of exploring. Instead of the right marked path, a bit behind the hut we crossed the river and headed along the left unmarked path (actually the right bank of the river, geographically speaking). The path is nicely traceable, always along the bed, when the gorge doesn't allow, it rises above it, then descends again. Access is possible almost to the waterfall, but not further. You have to go back a bit, cross the water again and then steeply climb to the marked path above us. The path is nicely traceable but quite exposed in places. As said, before the waterfall we climb to the marked path, then descend from it again to the bed and right above the waterfall. If you look around a bit, you'll easily spot all these little paths. We continue along the river to the village of Botač, where there's no trace of any inn. Past the former guard post, we climb on the right side along a wide path to the village of Beka, from there we turn back towards the starting point a bit with the help of our nose along the top of the ridge. With a bit of luck we find the marked path which actually leads from the Comici monument and take a break at the viewpoint over the Trieste gulf. Then the path literally throws us back into the valley, we exit right above the mountain hut. They were also working big time in Glinščica today, cleaning paths and trees, it was civil defense doing it, at least judging by the cars.
Nice day, signs of spring already peeking happily on the mountain, in short, if you haven't been yet, this valley offers plenty of opportunities for pleasant wandering or via ferrata.
here winter won't return1
everything was glowing around2
Glinščica's pools3
Here one must climb to the well-visible ledge on the left, slightly more exposed although not visible4
view from the path onto the canyon, here it is quite high, the little path narrow5
Nice, if there's a lot of water it's probably even nicer6
Along the streambed towards the waterfall, little water7
Waterfall, today more a trickle, but still nice8
