Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Razdrto and follow the road ahead on the parallel old road in the direction of Postojna. And we will soon notice signs, which point us to the left in the direction of village Veliko Ubeljsko and Strane. In the village Malo Ubeljsko we come to the next crossroad, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Strane (left Veliko Ubeljsko). The road which is further a little steeper ascending, we then follow to the center of the village Strane, where we notice hiking signposts. We park only few meters away, near the children's playground (don't park on the playground).
Path description:
Signs for Nanos point us on an ascending road, on which we are ascending past few houses. The road soon loses an asphalt covering and only a little higher changes into a wide cart track, on which we continue the ascent. Cart track soon passes into a dense forest and past a well, in a moderate ascent brings us to a marked crossing. We continue right in the direction of Sveti Bric (left Nanos) on the path which after 2 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mentioned church.
From Bric, we return to the nearby crossing, and then we continue the ascent in the direction of Nanos. The path ahead is ascending diagonally on a little narrower cart track, and it crosses increasingly steep slopes. Still easy path, from which a view opens up a little on the nearby walls, higher brings us to a crossing, where the marked path on Suhi vrh branches off to the right.
We go on the mentioned path (straight mountain hut Vojkova koča), which turns to the right and entirely flattens. The path higher crosses a forest road and continues in a moderate ascent through the forest. A little further, we again step on the forest road and we follow it to the right. And a relatively gentle road after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the hunting cottage.
We still continue on the road, from which soon steep path branches off to the right. We continue straight, and the road soon brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Suhi vrh. The road a little further starts descending, and then we notice a marked footpath which from the road turns sharply to the right. We go on the mentioned footpath which in few minutes of a little steeper ascent brings us on Suhi vrh.
