Komare doline - Tri učke

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, we take the Črni Kal exit. From Črni Kal, we continue driving on the old road towards the coast, but we drive along it only to the next somewhat larger crossroads, where we turn left in the direction of the border crossing Sočerga. On the mentioned road, we drive past the settlement Kubed to the village Gračišče, where at the crossroads we turn left in the direction of Rakitovec, Movraž and Smokvica. From Gračišče we drive approximately another 800 m, then beside the road we notice the blazes and inscription on the rock for Lačna, which direct us to the left. Here we park in an appropriate place beside the road. The starting point is located approximately 50 m before the next smaller crossroads.
We can also reach the starting point from the direction of the coast, namely through the settlements Prade, Pobegi, Čežarji, and Sveti Anton.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the marked footpath in the direction of Lačna. The path first crosses a quite overgrown meadow, then joins a wider cart track, along which we continue. At the junctions, we follow the blazes; the cart track higher up turns into a somewhat steeper and in places overgrown mountain path. Higher up, views open onto the surrounding hills, and the path soon brings us to the ridge of Lačna, where we also step onto a wide cart track.
We follow the cart track to the right (left Lačna 15 minutes), which leads us through a few gentle ascents and descents along a quite panoramic ridge. A little further ahead, the path takes us past a natural cave, and shortly after we reach the indistinct but panoramic Vrh križa.
From Vrh križa, we continue along the marked cart track, which enters a strip of pine woodland ending in a medium-sized clearing. In the middle of the clearing, we notice a small stone cairn marking the unmarked path to the nearby Krog; we continue along the cart track, which crosses another short stretch of forest before transitioning to increasingly bare slopes. Here we already see ahead the gentle northwestern slopes of Kuk, and the path continues in a gentle ascent slightly to the right. Higher up, the path steepens briefly, then levels out and brings us to the extensive and gentle summit slope of Kuk, where there is a marked junction.
Here we continue straight towards Slavnik and Tri učke (left to the summit of Kuk 1 minute) and proceed along the wide cart track, which descends gently. The cart track soon flattens completely and brings us to the next marked junction, where the path to Slavnik branches left; we continue straight and walk another approximately 15 minutes along the gradually widening cart track, after which a short plateau-like area opens to the right. Here we continue right along an unmarked path and in 3 minutes of further walking reach the indistinct summit, located near the karst cave Tri učke.
