Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper, we go to the exit Razdrto, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Nova Gorica. After Razdrto the road starts steeply descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where the road towards Nanos branches off to the right. We go on the mentioned road, where after first sharp right turn we park on an appropriate place by the next smaller crossroad.
B) From highway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, we go to the exit Vipava, and then we continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto, and we are driving there only few kilometers, and then signs for Nanos point us sharply left on an ascending road. We go on the mentioned road, where after first sharp right turn we park on an appropriate place by the next smaller crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a side road, by which we notice signs for Nanos and hunting cottage. Some meters we walk on the mentioned road, and then blazes point us to the right on a marked footpath which starts ascending through the forest. A little higher we cross the asphalt road, when we step on it second time, we continue there over the highway. On the other side of the highway, which we cross right at the beginning of tunnel, the road, on which we are ascending, gradually turns to the right. On the asphalt we walk to the end of next hairpin turn, and from there we go right on a marked footpath which higher returns on the road.
When we again step on the road we follow it to the right (straight on a footpath - path past Korita), and we walk there for some time. Higher, the path towards the village Lozice branches off to the right downwards, and only a little higher we continue left on a footpath which soon crosses a road which we just left. Only few steps higher we step on a wide cart track and we follow it to the right. At the crossings, we follow the cart track in the direction where blazes point us to, and higher it changes into a wide footpath. Next follows few more minutes of ascent and the path brings us to a crossing, where the path from Lozice joins.
Here we continue left in the direction of the hunting cottage, and relatively wide path, in numerous zig-zags leads over steeper and steeper slopes. A relatively steep path, occasionally leads over quite panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up towards Vipavska brda. Higher, we get to a little more demanding part, where otherwise wide path ascends diagonally over a short exposed slope (mainly in snow and ice is dangerous for slipping). Above exposed traverse we get to a marked crossing, where we continue straight on a wide path (left downwards Podnanos and Vipava, right mountain hut Vojkova koča past Strmec). Further, we are moderately ascending on a wide path, on which in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the hunting cottage Vojkovo.
From the hunting cottage, we continue to the nearby asphalt road and we follow it to the right, to the nearby Vrata, after which we step on the southwest part of plateau Nanos. On the other side of Vrata the road starts descending, and we follow it only for a short time because then blazes point us left on a marked footpath which descends through a pine forest. After a short descent, we return on the road and we follow it to the left. On the road, we walk to the nearby right turn, at the end of which marked path branches off to the left. We continue on a cart track which starts lightly ascending, we walk there only few 10 meters and then on the right side we notice poorly visible beginning of the footpath which gradually starts descending diagonally towards Šembijska bajta.
At the mentioned cottage we return on the road, on which we continue. A little higher we get to triangle crossroad, where the road to Vipava branches off to the left, and we continue slightly right, on a gradually a little steeper road. The road which continues through the forest, then rises for almost 150 altitude meters and it brings us to a crossroad, where we reach a marked path Abram - Vojkova koča. Here we continue left, on the road which starts lightly descending. After few minutes, we step out of the forest, where at the crossroad we continue right towards the nearby hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, near of which is large parking lot, few meters we continue on the road, and then signs for agrotourism Abram point us to the left on a narrower road, on which we walk to the nearby cottage.
