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 on it only to the next somewhat larger crossroads, where turn left in the direction of the border crossing Sočerga. Drive for a short time on the mentioned road, then signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec direct us left onto a somewhat narrower local road. Further, drive to Bezovica, where at the smaller crossroads in the middle of the village continue left in the direction of Podpeč. Further, drive through Podpeč (the road through the mentioned settlement is very narrow) to the village Zazid, where park on the parking lot by the sports field.
Route description:
From the sports field walk to the village, where we arrive at an unmarked crossroads, beside which there is a bench and a water tap. Here continue right and follow the slightly ascending road to the upper part of the village, where we notice the first signs for Golič and Lipnik. Again continue right and continue the ascent on the asphalt road that leads to the nearby water catchment. Already some 10 m before the water catchment, arrive at the next unmarked crossroads, where continue on the right macadam road. The macadam road then brings us to a smaller crossroads, beside which there is the next water trough. This time continue on the left wider road, beside which we quickly notice the trail marking. Continue the path for a short time on the worse road, then a marked shortcut branches off to the right. The path quickly returns to the road and already after a few steps splits again into two parts. Wherever we continue, the path will quickly bring us to the railway track and the decaying railway station Zazid. Carefully cross the railway track that leads towards Pula, and on the other side of it we arrive at a marked junction (to here we need approximately 20 minutes).
Continue left in the direction of Kraški rob (right Lipnik) and continue the path on a wide cart track that ascends transversely above the railway track. The cart track soon levels out, then starts to descend slightly. After a few minutes of descent, we will notice signs for Kraški rob, which direct us right into the forest. The path ahead first ascends moderately, then ever more steeply through the forest. Higher up, we climb over the rocky step of Kraški rob, from the top of which a beautiful view opens up.
Above the steep step is a marked junction, and we continue right in the direction of Kojnik (left Jampršnik). The path ahead continues for some time along Kraški rob, then turns left into the forest and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to a forest road, which we follow to the right. The road brings us somewhat higher to a smaller crossroads, where we continue on the left road, which quickly brings us to the hunting shelter Kojnik. Somewhat above the shelter, leave the worse road and continue the ascent left into the forest on the marked path. After a short ascent, step out of the forest and the path brings us to panoramic grassy slopes, across which we ascend transversely. Above the panoramic slope, the path passes into a pleasant pine grove, through which we ascend to the top of Kojnik.

Discussion about the trip Zazid - Kojnik

I went on this trail today, which is very little visited. The foresters have diligently cleared the path in the forest below the Karst edge. The markings and signs could use some refreshing in places, as at a few spots you really have to play boy scout to figure out the right direction...
From the parking lot to the railway station it takes about 15 minutes on asphalt and gravel, then another around 10 minutes on a forest road, only then does the path turn into the forest and the "real" mountain trail begins... I don't like these trails on roads, somehow it's not "mountainous" to me. Otherwise, the trail is beautiful, easy, with great views from the Karst edge and the top of Kojnik.

Very beautiful and picturesque trail over the karst edge, through light forests and meadows. Markings and signposts are exemplary renovated, but only up to the hunting shelter. The spot where about 300 m above the hunting shelter we turn left from the road into the forest (picture 37) is poorly marked, so we use the cairn by the road.
