Zazid - Kuk

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper highway take the Črni Kal exit. From Črni Kal continue driving on the old road towards the coast, and we drive along it only to the next somewhat larger crossroads, where we turn left in the direction of the Sočerga border crossing. We drive for a short time on the mentioned road, and then signs for Predloka, Loka, Bezovica, Podpeč, Zanigrad, Zazid and Rakitovec direct us left onto a somewhat narrower local road. Further we drive to Bezovica, where at the smaller crossroads in the middle of the village we continue left in the direction of Podpeč. Further we drive through Podpeč (the road through the mentioned settlement is very narrow) to the village Zazid, where we park on the parking lot by the sports field.

Path description:
We start at the sports field, where we first walk between the sports field and some sort of small grandstand. On the other side of the field the path goes among bushes, through which it starts lightly ascending. After a few minutes of the ascent through bushes we step on a macadam road, on which we continue the ascent, and from there a nice view opens up on Jampršnik. The road quickly brings us to a small crossroads, where the road branches off to the right towards the ridge of Jerebine (Jerebine is the ridge between Hrastovlje and Zazid - the highest peak of the ridge is Zazidski Brgod 443 m), and we continue straight on the road which gradually starts descending. The road quickly flattens, and then continues by expansive pastures. A little further, the road turns slightly to the right and crosses a pasture fence, and right on this spot we leave it and we continue straight on a marked cart track. We continue on a moderately ascending cart track which a little ahead also joins a marked path from Slavnik, Zazid railway station and the path from the starting point Martin dol. Here we go straight as well and we continue the ascent in the direction of Lačna. A little further with good visibility a view opens up on the Alps, and the path after that descends and joins a wider cart track. When we step on the mentioned cart track we continue left, and in less than 10 minutes we ascend to a panoramic ridge, only a few meters west from the peak Veliki Gradež.
Here a short pathless approach branches off to the left to the mentioned peak, and we continue straight on a marked path, which quickly descends to a poor forest road, which we reach at the marked junction. When we step on the road, we continue right (left Tri učke), and with nice views we walk to the second junction.
At the mentioned junction we continue right in the direction of Kuk (straight Lačna), whose summit we reach in one minute of additional walking.
