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. Wide and gently sloping path, quickly brings us to the first crossing, where we continue right towards St. Miklavž (slightly left Gradiška Tura). Quite gently sloping path, leads us past numerous climbing areas, towards the south. The path which then few times a little steeper ascends after a half an hour of walking, it brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we notice the church of St. Miklavž. Follows only gently sloping ascent to the church, which we reach in less than 3 minutes.
From the church, we continue on a macadam road which is at first slightly descending, after that slightly ascending. We follow this road to the spot, where we notice numerous signposts. We continue the ascent sharply left, on a footpath in the direction of Abram. The path ahead runs through the forest and is relatively steeply ascending. Next follows a short crossing of panoramic scree, and then the path ascends even steeper. Steep path then quickly brings us to panoramic Konj, on which there is also an inscription box, stamp and smaller chapel.
From Konj we continue on a path, which is at first slightly ascending, and then descends to a forest road which we follow to the right, towards Abram. The road on which we walk we soon leave because blazes point us to left on a wide footpath which crosses a lane of a forest, after that over a grassy slope brings us to two stone houses. Soon after the houses, the path again brings us to the road, where we continue left. After few ten strides of walking on the road, we notice a sign for Abram, which points us right over large meadow. The path ahead, starts moderately ascending, over wide slightly vegetated grassy slopes. This path, which a little below Abram turns sharply left and a little below cottage joins the path from Vipava and Gradišče we follow to a forest road which then in few steps it brings us to our destination.
