Podnanos - Grmada (Nanos) (Pod zatrepom)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and we go to the exit Vipava. When we leave the highway we get to an old road which we follow in the direction of Podnanos. When we get to Podnanos we turn left towards the nearby primary school, post office and store. We park on a large parking lot before the mentioned buildings.

Path description:
Near the information board about Nanos we notice the first signs for Abram, hunting cottage and mountain hut Vojkova koča, which point us on the road which continues by nearby school sports field. After sports field we get to a smaller crossroad, where signs for Nanos point us right, and we continue straight on the road which turns to the left and at the nearby house ends. We continue over a smaller bridge and then immediately after it right, where short time we walk next to a water. A little further, we join the asphalt road, and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right, and then a little further it also crosses the stream Močilnik. The road further leads past wine cellar Furlan, behind which settlement slowly ends. At the end of the settlement, we get to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of "run" and intervention access to highway over Rebrnice. We still continue on the asphalt road, and it few 10 meters further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue right again in the direction of "hike and run" (left leads the road towards the nearby houses). Only a little further, the path on running route branches off to the right, and we continue on the asphalt road, on which we ascend above the highway. On the other side of the highway, which we cross by the edge of entrance into a tunnel, asphalt ends, and the road turns to the left and it brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right. From the macadam road only few steps higher, in the middle of sharp left turn, marked path branches off to the right, which leads towards Abram (path over Konj), hunting cottage Vojkovo and mountain hut Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
We continue in the mentioned direction (further on the road St. Miklavž) and at first, we walk on a little more overgrown cart track. We soon leave the cart track, because blazes point us to left on a slope, on which we are still ascending on a little overgrown path. The path soon flattens and brings us on a cart track, on which we continue an ascent. Higher, the path leads on a wider cart track, and we follow it to the right only few steps, because then blazes point us left on again a little steeper footpath. Further, we are few minutes ascending on because of water a little rough path, and then we get to a well-marked crossing, where we continue straight (left Abram over Konj) in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča na Nanosu. The path ahead is for some time ascending gently towards the right, and then it brings us on a cart track, on which we ascend to the nearby macadam road. When we step on the road from the left joins the path from Gradišče above Vipava, and we continue right and we quickly walk to the spot, where we reach an asphalt road which leads on Nanos. We reach the road right on distinct hairpin turn, and we start ascending there with increasingly beautiful views. To next turn we continue on the road, and then blazes point us to the right on a footpath, on which we are a little steeper ascending. A well-marked path higher returns on the road and after few minutes again leaves it, and even a little higher it once again crosses it. The path ahead leads us past big chapel, which is visible already from far. A little above the chapel we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right upwards in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča past Strmec (left hunting cottage Vojkovo, right downwards Lozice).
The path ahead becomes pretty steep and much less beaten, but orientationally not very demanding. Higher, the path brings us out of the forest and after the slope break entirely flattens. Here we continue straight on a barely visible footpath, on which in 2 minutes of additional walking, we join well-beaten and marked path hunting cottage Vojkovo - Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the right (left hunting cottage 10 minutes), and further it leads over grassy slopes, which are occasionally covered with bushes and individual pine trees. Easy and barely ascending path, then for a short time joins the road, but already after few steps leaves it. The path then avoids the road a little more to the right and starts moderately ascending on the more and more panoramic slopes of Nanos. Here from the right joins an unmarked path, which a little lower branched off to the right. The path ahead becomes slightly steeper and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to already from the far visible church of St. Hieronima.
From the church, we continue slightly right on the path which only a little higher from the right joins the gentle path from Razdrto. We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča on the path which only few steps ahead brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the unmarked path on Grmada branches off to the left.
We go on the mentioned unmarked and a little poorly visible footpath which steeper ascends and soon brings us to a forest road which we only cross. We continue the ascent on a relatively steep path, which is ascending over more and more panoramic grassy slope. Higher, the path flattens a little and turns to the right, where gradually passes on an indistinct ridge, on which then in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the summit of Grmada.
