Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper, we go to the exit Razdrto and we continue driving on the old road through Razdrto towards Vipava valley. After few kilometers of descent on a quite winding road, we will get to a crossroad, where a road towards Nanos branches off to the right. We go on the mentioned road which starts ascending steeper. When higher the road flattens and turns from a steep slope on a plateau, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Abram. Also in the all next crossroads we follow the road towards Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu. We park on a large parking lot by nearby hunting lodge.

Soon, we come to a crossroad, where the road towards Nanos branches off sharply to the left. We go on the mentioned road which starts ascending steeper. When higher the road flattens and turns from a steep slope on a plateau, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Abram. Also in the all next crossroads we follow the road towards Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu. We park on a large parking lot by nearby hunting lodge.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča and Podnanos. And a gentle road quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue on the upper left road. The road ahead leads by the edge of the forest, from where a nice view opens up on Dolomites. Only a little further, the road passes into a dense forest and it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue straight. Through the forest, we walk for few minutes, and then the road brings us on the more and more panoramic slopes. Here we will notice signs for mountain hut Vojkova koča, which point us to the left on a marked, but on parts a little overgrown footpath. After the initial ascent the path quickly flattens and brings us on a plateau terrain. A little further, we cross a short lane of bushes, and the path then for some time continues through ample and partly overgrown karst meadows. Next follows a short ascent and the path brings us to the next road which we follow right downwards. After a short descent, we again leave the road and we continue the ascent left, on a marked cart track, on which we at first start relatively steep, after that gently ascending. Further, we are ascending by the edge of indistinct valley Ječmenovec, and the path higher passes into the forest, through which ascends on the unvegetated saddle, northwest from Laniški vrh (1236 meters).
From the saddle follows a descent to a nearby road which leads to the mountain hut Vojkova koča, and we only cross it and we continue on a marked hiking path. The path soon turns slightly to the left and higher returns on the mentioned road. A moderately steep path, from which occasionally a view opens up, then continues alternately through the forest, and partly on the macadam road. This path, we then follow all the way to the mountain hut Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
From the mountain hut, we continue on a marked path in the direction of Suhi vrh. The path at first crosses a meadow behind the mountain hut, and then it ascends for a short time. Next follows some of walking with shorter descents and ascents to a panoramic grassy slope. The path then returns into the forest and it starts descending steeper. After few minutes of descent, we come to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Suhi vrh (straight downwards Strane). After few minutes of additional walking, we step on the forest road, and it soon brings us to the hunting cottage.
For some time we continue the ascent on the forest road, and then signs for Suhi vrh - steep path (strma pot) point us to the right downwards (straight on the road gentle path). The path ahead at first steeply descends to the bottom of a hollow, then starts steeply ascending through the forest. After few minutes of a steep ascent, the path brings us to the emergency bivouac (old military tunnel) after which the path slightly flattens. Only a short ascent follows and the path brings us on panoramic Suhi vrh.
