Krog - Kuk

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Koper motorway, 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 Sočerga border crossing. On the mentioned road, we drive past the settlement of Kubed to the village of Gračišče, where at the crossroads we turn left in the direction of Rakitovec, Movraž and Smokvica. From Gračišče, we drive to the village of Movraž, and there we turn right in the direction of Dvori. Before the village of Dvori, we come to the next crossroads, where we continue sharply right (left Dvori), and we drive a few hundred more metres along the road to the mountain signposts, which we see beside the road. We park in a suitable place by the mountain signposts.

Path description:
On the opposite side of the road from the signposts for the natural bridge and the church of St. Kirik, we notice the beginning of the footpath that leads to Lačna. At first we walk on a gentle cart track, or wide path, which quickly turns into a dense strip of shrubbery, then the blazes direct us slightly to the right onto a steep path, along which we quickly ascend to a wide and partly rocky cart track. We then continue the ascent for some time on the mentioned cart track, which first ascends above the village of Dvori, then gradually turns somewhat to the left, where higher up it becomes completely flat. There follows a short traverse of panoramic grassy slopes, from which a nice view opens up onto the Movraška vala and the village of Movraž. The cart track then brings us somewhat further to another cart track, where at the junction we continue right, and we ascend along it to the nearby asphalt road.
We merely cross the mentioned road and continue in the same direction, continuing the ascent along the macadam road. The macadam road then leads us further across karst meadows surrounded by numerous pines; it gradually narrows and higher up joins a wider macadam road. We follow the road to the left, and it quickly flattens. The road, with a view of Lipnik and Kavčič, quickly brings us to the next junction, where we again continue along the left road. There follows walking along a gentle road, which somewhat further crosses the peripheral strip of pine forest, then brings us to completely barren plateau terrain. Here an unmarked path to Tri učke branches off to the left, while we follow the macadam road for another approximately 15 minutes, or to the marked junction, where the marked path to Slavnik branches off to the right.
From the junction, we 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 ascend to the extensive summit slope of Kuk, where the next marked junction is.
Here we continue in the direction of Kuk, to which we have only a minute of easy and panoramic walking left.
