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 left (slightly right Strane) in the direction of Veliko Ubeljsko. We follow this road to the parking lot by the cemetery, which is situated only a little before the village Veliko Ubeljsko.
Path description:
From a nice settled asphalt parking lot by the cemetery we continue on the asphalt road, on which we quickly get to the village Veliko Ubeljsko. The path ahead leads us past few houses, a little distant sports field, NOB monument, to the parish church of St. Urh, which we bypass on the right side. At the crossroad above the church we notice the first trail blazes, which point us "straight", on the road which ascends above the village. At the end of the village, we continue right past the water storage, on a macadam road which is further ascending diagonally through the forest. Few minutes higher we get to some sort of turning point, where the marked path towards the mountain hut Vojkova koča turns left on an ascending cart track, and we continue straight on gentle and further unmarked cart track. A little further, the cart track for some time comes out of the forest or bushes, on a panoramic slope, which is surrounded by fenced pastures. Bushes, including the bramble (brambles on that area usually get ripe in end of August and September) are soon replaced by dense forest, through which we are for quite some time ascending diagonally on mostly gentle cart track. When the forest gets a little thinner, the path flattens and becomes more overgrown. Few minutes we walk on easy to follow, but occasionally more overgrown path, and then we join the marked path which leads from the village Strane towards Nanos.
When we reach the marked path we follow it to the left, and at first, it leads on quite gentle and quite rocky cart track. Cart track quite quickly becomes steep, and at few smaller crossings we follow it the way as blazes point us to. Higher, the path leads us past a smaller source, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the church of St. Bric (straight mountain hut Vojkova koča on Nanos and Suhi vrh).
From the crossing follows only a short, approximately 2 minutes long diagonal ascent and the path brings us to the church of St. Bric, from which due to the nearby forest, there isn't any nice view.
From the church, we return to a crossing, and then we continue in the direction of Nanos. The path ahead is ascending diagonally through a steeper slope, from which through the treetops some view opening up. Higher, the marked path branches off to the right towards the highest peak of Nanos - Suhi vrh, and we continue slightly left in the direction of the mountain hut. A little further, the forest gets thinner, so that a nice view opens up on Postojna basin and hills which surround it. When the path returns into the forest, another path branches off to the right towards Suhi vrh, and we again continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča.
From the crossing ahead, the path for some time runs through a dense forest, and after a shorter ascent, we step on a some kind of a ridge, where for some time we step out of the forest. From here the path turns a little to the right and descends towards a some sort of a small valley (the area is called Lapuš). When we reach the edge of a small valley, the path turns left and then continues through overgrown "meadows". Next follows few minutes of walking through the forest and then we step on a nice grassy plain near the mountain hut Vojkova koča, and to there separates us only a short walk.
