Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and we go to the exit Vipava. We follow the road ahead, towards Vipava and Gradišče. In the village Gradišče we notice the first mountain signposts, which we follow to a larger parking lot above the village Gradišče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of Gradiška Tura and Abram. At first wide and gently sloping path, quickly brings us to the first crossing, where we continue straight (right St. Miklavž). After additional few steps of walking, the path brings us to scree, on which we diagonally ascend on bushy slopes. The path ahead is steeper and steeper ascending and it soon brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left following the signs »zelo zahtevna zavarovana pot« (very demanding secured path). Already at the beginning of very difficult path we almost vertically ascend on a rocky slope secured with iron spikes and a steel cable. After that, the path for few steps becomes less demanding, turns slightly to the left and then again steeply ascends right upward by the steel cable. For some time we are ascending by the steel cable and we soon come to panoramic platform, which is few steps from the path on the left side. At the platform, from where there is a nice view towards Vipava valley, there is also a smaller bench.
From the platform we continue right upward and secured path brings us on an exposed narrow ridge, which is well secured with a steel cable. The path further gradually becomes less demanding and we soon come to a crossing, where from the right side joins less demanding path.
Further, we continue on the path which occasionally still relatively steeply ascends. A little below the summit on rock we notice an interesting verse, after which after few steps we step to the summit.
From Gradiška Tura we continue on a marked path in the direction of Jež. The path then goes into the forest, where it is except for some initial strides, descending. After few minutes of gentle descent we come to a crossing, where we continue straight towards Abram (left Vipava). The path ahead, leads us on a pleasant meadow, which is surrounded by thin forest. Behind the meadow, we step on the road, where we continue right, again in the direction towards Abram. And on the road we walk only a short time, to the first crossroad, where we continue sharply left to the house, which we notice on the left side. Here we leave a worse road and we continue right upward on a marked path, which after few steps brings us on a cart track which we follow to the right. Further path, with some shorter ascents and descents brings us to the next forest road which we only cross. Next follows a moderate ascent, at first through a meadow, and then through the forest to the cottage Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu.
