Razdrto - Suhi vrh (Nanos) (gentle path)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Koper we go to the exit Razdrto (exit only for vehicles with vignettes), and when we reach old road Postojna - Koper we continue left in the direction of Razdrto. The road then leads on the other side of the highway, and only a little ahead we get to a crossroad, where slightly to the right a road branches off, which leads towards the center of Razdrto. In the middle of the settlement, we notice signs for Veliko Ubeljsko and Strane, which point us to the right. Still before the road crosses the highway, we park on a large parking lot.
B) From Vipava valley we drive on the highway towards Ljubljana. Only a little after we join the highway Koper - Ljubljana, we leave it at exit Razdrto (exit only for vehicles with vignettes). When we reach old road Postojna - Koper we continue left in the direction of Razdrto. The road then leads on the other side of the highway, and only a little ahead we get to a crossroad, where slightly to the right a road branches off, which leads towards the center of Razdrto. In the middle of the settlement, we notice signs for Veliko Ubeljsko and Strane, which point us to the right. Still before the road crosses the highway, we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From a large parking lot, from where there is a nice view towards Pleša, we continue on the asphalt road which through overpass crosses the highway. On the other side of the highway we get to a smaller crossroad, by which there are hiking signposts. From the crossroad, we continue left, and we walk on the road only a short time because then signs for mountain hut Vojkova koča point us to the right on a gentle footpath which starts ascending on a grassy meadow. After few minutes of a moderate ascent on a grassy slope, we get to the forest, where the marked path soon splits into two parts.
We continue left in the direction of the gentle path (right steep path), which a little further leads through a panoramic meadow. Behind the meadow, the path returns into the forest and starts gently ascending. Further, we are ascending diagonally towards the northwest, at first still through the forest, and higher on panoramic, occasionally also steeper slopes. With a view on the upper part of Vipava valley and on Vipavska Brda, after approximately hour and a half of walking from the starting point, we get to the edge of Nanos plateau, where there is a marked crossing.
Left leads the path towards the church of St. Hieronim (3 minutes) and forward towards the hunting cottage Vojkovo and Podnanos, and we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Vojkova koča na Nanosu, on the path which only few steps further brings us on a less noticeable crossing, where the unmarked path branches off to the left on Grmada. We continue slightly right on a marked path, which is ahead for quite some time ascending parallel with the road. The path ahead from the road goes away slightly more to the right and passes on panoramic northwestern edge of Nanos. Here from the right side almost unnoticeably joins so-called path Janezova pot, and we continue straight on a wide footpath which leads us towards the transmitters on Nanos. Only a little before transmitters path turns to the left, descends into a lane of a forest and then past the monument of Janko Premrl Vojko, brings us to the mountain hut Vojkova koča on Nanos.
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.
We still continue on the road, from which soon steep path branches off to the right. We continue straight, and the road soon brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Suhi vrh. The road a little further starts descending, and then we notice a marked footpath which from the road turns sharply to the right. We go on the mentioned footpath which in few minutes of a little steeper ascent brings us on Suhi vrh.
