Hunting cottage Vojkovo - Grmada (Nanos)

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 km 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 and higher, when the road already flattens brings us to the smaller crossroad, where a macadam road branches off to the right, which leads to the near hunting cottage. We continue in the direction of the hunting cottage and we park there on a macadam parking lot.
B)From highway Nova Gorica - Ljubljana we go to the exit Vipava and we follow the road ahead towards Podnanos. From Podnanos we continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto. Soon, we come to a crossroad, where the road towards Nanos branches off sharply to the left. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the hunting cottage, and then we continue in the direction of St. Hieronim and mountain hut Vojkova koča na Nanosu. The path goes already after few steps in the forest, where starts slightly ascending. After a short ascent, the path brings us on an indistinct peak Strmec, from which follows a short descent. Only a little further, the path brings us out of the forest on 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.
