Podgorje - Golič (via hunting cottage)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper take the exit Kozina. Follow the road towards Koper to the village Petrinje, where turn left towards Podgorje. The road, which climbs steeply at first, soon leads to the next crossroads, where you turn left. Continue to the village Podgorje, where you park in a large parking lot near the sports ground.
b) Access from Koper: Take the old road to Postojna and just after the village of Črni Kal, the road to the village of Podgorje turns sharp right. Follow this road to a large parking lot near the sports ground located in Podgorje village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, return to the main road and follow it in the direction of travel. After a few dozen metres, you will reach a crossroads where wooden mountain signs direct you to the right. At the junction, continue along the road in the direction Kojnik. The road, which runs without any change in elevation, has a few junctions at the beginning, but everywhere you continue along the one that is the "main" road. Here and there you can see some faded markings indicating the way to Kojnik. After a while, the road gradually starts to climb and takes us a little higher to a crossroads where we continue to the left. Follow this road to the next crossroads, where you go left again. The way forward takes us past the Kojnik hunting shelter. Just above the shelter, leave the worse road and continue your ascent to the left into the forest along the marked path. After a short climb, we leave the forest and the path leads us to a view of grassy slopes, over which we climb crosswise. Above the viewing slope, the path passes into a pleasant pine groove, through which you climb to the top of Kojnik.
From Kojnik, continue along the marked path towards Žbevnica, which begins to descend gently. After a few minutes of descending, the path leads us to a stone corral, along which we then continue. The way forward leads us partly along the grassy cart track, and partly along an occasionally less visible and partly overgrown path. The scenic route, which mostly runs through meadows, then climbs gently and leads to the wider cart track. Continue along cart track, passing the summit with the antennae on the left, and then gradually approaching the base of the north-eastern foreland of Goliča. Here, cart track climbs steeply and, after about 15 minutes of further walking, leads us to Golič (the summit with the registration box and the 'cross').
From the peak, descend slightly, then in a moderate ascent reach the higher, but less distinct peak of Golič.
From the top with the "cross" to Golič is a good 20-minute walk.
