Ahead we drive on the main road towards Idrija, and at the end of the settlement Kalce we turn left in the direction of Podkraj and Col (crossroad is located only few 10 meters ahead from the crossroad, where the road towards Planina and Postojna branches off to the left. From Kalce ahead, the road becomes quite winding, and we follow it to the settlement Podkraj.

When village ends, we get to the forest and we park on an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which from the right already after few minutes joins the marked path from the center of Podkraj. We continue on the road which past a smaller religious symbol, in a gentle descent brings us to the first crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of Nanos (right Bela and Sanabor). From the crossroad ahead goes road into a dense forest and passes on a plateau terrain of Nanos. In the forest, we soon get to other crossroad, where we continue sharply right (left Bukovje). The road then for quite some time continues with some ascents and descents, to a crossroad below 905 meters high peak Soline.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Abram (left Trška ravan, right Sanabor) and we follow the macadam road which gradually passes on mostly western slopes. When the road rises a little, it brings us to a smaller hamlet (Blažon), from where a view opens up towards the sea and in good visibility also to Dolomites. From hamlet, which we bypass on the right side, the road gradually starts descending and brings us into the forest, through which we descend to a little bigger crossroad. Here we continue left in the direction of Abram (right Vipava) and slightly ascending road which leads us through a thinner forest, we follow to the cottage Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu, which we reach after good 20 minutes of additional walking.
