Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the exit Črni Kal. 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. We drive on the mentioned road for a short time, 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 next to the sports field.
Path description:
From the sports field we walk to the village, where we come to the unmarked crossroads, by which there are a bench and a water tap. Here we 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. We again continue right and continue the ascent on the asphalt road, which leads to the nearby water catchment. Already some 10 m before the water catchment, we come to the next unmarked crossroads, where we continue on the right macadam road. The macadam road then brings us to a smaller crossroads, by which there is the next water trough. This time we continue on the left wider road, by which we quickly notice the marking. We continue the path for a short time on the poor 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. We carefully cross the railway track, which leads towards Pula, and on the other side of it we arrive at a marked junction (to here we need approximately 20 minutes).
We continue right in the direction of Lipnik and Golič (left Brežec and Kraški rob) and continue the path on a gentle cart track, which ascends transversely towards the right. Higher, beautiful views towards the sea and Istria start to open up, and we continue on the gentle path, which returns to the forest and brings us to a marked junction.
We continue right in the direction of Lipnik (left Golič and Kraški rob) and continue the path through a belt of bushes. When we step out of the bushes the path brings us to an extensive grassy "plain", from which a nice view of Lipnik opens up. Across the "plain" we walk for quite some time, then the signpost for Lipnik directs us left into the forest. The path ahead gradually ascends more steeply, then turns slightly to the right, where it climbs in a moderate ascent over the steep step of the Kraški rob. Behind the edge the path flattens and brings us to a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Kavčič - inscription on the rock (left Lipnik 5 minutes, straight memorial plaque). The path ahead gently ascends over the panoramic grassy slope, then turns slightly to the left and gradually begins to descend towards a smaller valley. The path then flattens and brings us in a few minutes of further walking to a wider cart track, where there is also a marked junction.
We only cross the mentioned cart track and continue the ascent straight on the mountain path in the direction of Golič (right Kavčič). The path ahead ascends the grassy slope and quickly brings us to the cave Nadglavinjak. We bypass the cave or abyss on the left side, and the path over the increasingly panoramic slope quickly brings us to the indistinct Glavinjak, from which a nice view opens up towards the north and east.
