Krog - Krog

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, take the exit Črni Kal. From Črni Kal, continue driving on the old road towards the coast, but drive along it only to the next somewhat larger crossroads, where turn left in the direction of the border crossing Sočerga. On the mentioned road, drive past the place Kubed to the village Gračišče, where at the crossroads turn left in the direction of Rakitovec, Movraž and Smokvice. From Gračišče drive to the village Movraž, and there turn right in the direction of Dvori. Before the village Dvori come to the next crossroads, where continue sharply right (Dvori left), and drive on the road another few hundred meters to the hiking signposts, which are seen beside the road. Park at a suitable place beside the hiking signposts.

Path description:
On the opposite side of the road from the signposts for the natural bridge and the church of St. Kvirik, notice the start of the footpath that leads to Lačna. Initially walk on a gentle cart track, or wide path, which quickly turns into a dense strip of shrubbery, then the blazes direct us slightly right onto a steep pathlet, along which we quickly climb to a wide and partly rocky cart track. The ascent then continues for some time along the mentioned cart track, which first rises above the village Dvori, then gradually turns somewhat left, where higher up it levels off completely. There follows a short traverse of scenic grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens onto the Movraška valley and the village Movraž.
The cart track brings us a bit further to another cart track, where at the junction continue right, and ascend along it to the nearby asphalt road.

We only cross the mentioned road and continue in the same direction, continuing the ascent along the macadam road. The macadam road leads us further across karst meadows surrounded by numerous pines, which gradually narrows and higher joins a wider macadam road. Follow the road left, which quickly levels off. The road, with a view of Lipnik and Kavčič, quickly brings us to the next junction, where continue along the left road. There follows walking along a gentle road, which a bit further crosses the edge strip of a pine forest, then brings us to completely unvegetated plateau terrain. Here a unmarked path branches left toward Tri učke, but we follow the macadam road for another approximately 15 minutes, or to the marked junction, where the marked path to Slavnik branches right.

From the junction, continue further along the poorer macadam road in the direction of Kuk, which quickly turns into a wide cart track, along which in a gentle ascent we climb to the expansive summit slope of Kuk, where the next marked junction is.

Here continue in the direction of Kuk, to which there is only a minute of easy and panoramic walking left.
From the summit, return to the last junction and continue in the direction of Lačna, first descending gently, then briefly more steeply. Lower, the path levels off, then slowly stops descending, or later begins to ascend gently. Somewhat higher, the path brings us below the summit of Krog, where at a suitable spot we leave the marked path to Lačna and in a few minutes of easy pathless terrain climb to the summit of Krog, from which, if we step to the edge of the ridge, a nice view opens toward the west.
Starting point - Kuk 2:50, Kuk - Krog 0:20.
