When you set off on the trail, don't forget to turn east from St. Bric church (regarding what the local woman told Edina) velik nasmeh

Bojan, if you're hinting at what I think velik nasmeh

the first in the line will be the oldest cool

Hey Zlatko and Heda, then I'll really call when there's a nice free day. Koroška waterfalls still waiting too. nasmeh

Today from Razdrto steeply to Suhi vrh. Up past Čeledin hut, down the circular path to the fork for Vojk hut. Sadly I discovered that the path marked on my map as marked hasn't been visited by markers for a long, long time. mrk pogled

With some cairns in the right spots it worked, but if not officially abandoned, why not maintain it? zavijanje z očmi

It's so beautiful... mežikanje

On descent visited St. Jerome's church too and descended to the valley via an easy path.
No rain caught us, just fog most of the time.
Lp

Along the path to Suhi vrh there is still plenty of ramsons.

Lots of nativity cribs in the bunker below the summit. They'll wait...

Descent on the loop path where markers are the exception rather than the rule. But cairns can be found...:)

I was happy that part of the roof stayed original after re-roofing. Nice.

There was really quite a bit of pasqueflower.

Due to fog on our last Suhi vrh visit, we repeated the tour yesterday. nasmeh

From Stran past Sv. Bric to the summit. Descent to Vojk hut then steep scree path to windmill at Razdrto. Since parked steel horse in Stran, long meadow and track traverse under Nanos. velik nasmeh

Completely different from last time here.

Back past the hut and over the summit...

We also linked Suhi vrh and Nanos into a more or less circular tour. We chose Šmihel pod Nanosom as the starting point, continued along the marked path across fields and finally tackled the hill towards Nanos. Midway we detoured to Suhi vrh. The branch sign is poorly visible, path trodden. Final ascent to it is via steep or less steep variant, best to connect both into a circular one. Continuation to Nanos is well marked, path good.

From Pleša we descended via transverse path to Veliki Ubeljski. Upper part steep and muddy, lower part flattens. At macadam junction turned left and followed yellow arrows of Jakob's path. Soon reached familiar areas and returned to start via morning route.

All in all normally passable, no fallen trees after recent storm.

Starting point coordinates (small parking under church): 45.798165, 14.118222

In Šmihel we were a bit early, but the day soon turned nice.

Our direction … Nanos. Via Alpina, the red trail, also passes here.

Morning trek on the cart track over frozen ground

Actually, three routes pass here … the mountaineering one, the Jakob route, Via Alpina

Typical for us … almost every hamlet has its own church, Strane too

The beautiful wide path must have played a much larger role in the past than today

Beautiful beech forest, still without green foliage

For this altitude, quite a surprise of the white kind :)

Suhi vrh and boundary stones from bygone times

The consequences of the glaze ice are still clearly visible and will remain so for a long time.

Hunters' hut with a comfortable shooting range.

The hut was open for the weekend, but no notice was posted.

... and towards the marked poles. Really unmistakable :)

Upper part of the path steep and muddy, lower part very solid.

This is how they used to live. House like today's garage, WC in the outdoor privy.

Today from Strane over Maj to Suhi vrh. mežikanje

Descent to Vojkova koča and then steep drop to Ubeljsko. Then nice traverse along Jakob's path to Strane and loop closed. nasmeh

Some snow still on north sides and macadam road, but no issues. Descent from Pleša muddy up top and quite slippery. zavijanje z očmi

Weather...for a 5. nasmeh

Regards

Man and little man on the path across Maj. :-)

View towards the Window in Votla stena from the path to Maj.

Continuation of the path on and along the beautiful ridge.

On the summit you couldn't see far. They say it's the Sahara's fault.

28.4.2021. From Strane along the ridge to first peak Maj. From there past Votla stena window. Continued to Suhi vrh. In poor visibility and thick fog. From Suhi vrh to Vojkova koča. There sun peeked out from under clouds for a short time. Descended via another path, which goes above Veliki Ubeljski and then through forest to start in Strane. No rain even. Just the path quite slippery. And pretty cold. From window onward path very poorly visible in one section. Lots of wild garlic on these paths. Never seen so much. But also poisonous Solomon's seal and čmerilka. Met no one on path. Just some hikers at hut. About 12km walk and 1000m ascent. In sun tour would definitely be much nicer but fog has its charm too.

and we are at the first summit named Maj.

and along the familiar path full of wild garlic

past the wild garlic that has been beaten down by now.

the path that we took for the first time on descent.

and at the starting point in Strane under the mighty yew, where they placed a bench.

also on the steps it's not bad to sit after the completed tour.

Bravo, this path is really beautiful. Pity about the fog
Safe travels

On Saturday we too on this nice path. In the center of Strane village we left the car and after some "test runs" up and down, we finally found the trail to Maj. (no wonder 1800m ascent accumulated). Trail nicely followable with a couple of cairns at junctions. Then ascends further along scenic ridge of Votlih sten to nice window. From here the trail a bit fades as Darinka wrote. From Suhi vrh then to Pleša and down steep trail almost to V. Ubeljski then along transverse path back to Strane. On this path we noticed some footprints of someone walking barefoot, as Lojze said. zavijanje z očmi

Peek through the linden under Sukov vrh.

Modern gadget showed 1800m elevation gain. 15 km of path.

Also in Matkov kot they walk barefoot. nasmeh

On snow.

10.5.2021. Tour looks really nice in sunny weather. On ridge wind caresses you. And views were interesting. From Suhi vrh could see all the way to Kamniške and Karavanke.

quite some walking along the ridge awaits us.

The window where there are nice views can be seen.

Renato for the first time on these paths.

And the end of the nice sunny tour in Stranah.

Strane - Dolgi grič - Maj - Votla stena - Suhi vrh - Boljunov vrh - Debeli vrh - Pleša - Strane

Today to closer hills, so no need to get up in the middle of the night and drive far nasmeh

. Parked at the end of Strane village (at the last house left uphill). First time from this side.
Worth mentioning is the bunker above the village - marked as Dolgi grič on the map. Didn't plan to visit this "peak" but worthwhile as military objects interest me and I like exploring them. Haven't seen anything written about this bunker so hope useful info. Assume built sometime between wars.
Then back to usual path and continue ascent to next peaks. Trail to Suhi vrh mostly good to follow, with some slightly worse sections - shows not too crowded. Nice view from top and today almost no wind. Descend west side and a few meters below summit check out this bunker - more known than the lower one.
Then lower and head to second highest Nanos peak - Debeli vrh, en route visiting Boljunov vrh which isn't interesting and could skip. Path to these two unmarked, last part ascent pathless but not too demanding, just find right direction (map and GPS helpful).
To Vojkova koča via marked path, nothing special. Hut currently under renovation. Final descent to valley via steep trail towards Veliki Ubeljski and when steeper part behind continue left on track at Nanos foot to Strane.

From the entrance we go down a bit on the stairs

Up there. On the way down, you have to climb down the same ladder.

I continue along the corridor. There are still some side rooms there and again a ladder to the upper floor from where we can reach the second exit.

View of Dolgi grič (776m) which contains a bunker.

A bit further from Maja with a view towards Pleša.

On Suhi vrh. In the distance, the snow-covered Karavanke and Kamnik Alps are visible, towards the Julian Alps there were clouds.

On Boljunov vrh. Not very interesting because no view. I ascend to it via a short pathless section.

On the way to Debelem vrh. Here the path is still visible, then it's pathless.

On Debelem vrh. There is also a survey point here.

On the marked path towards Vojkova koča.

tavzentroza19. 09. 2022 15:21:31

Interesting. I thought I knew Nanos end to end. But did you go to Debeli vrh via the road at the hunting hut, when you descended from Suhi vrh?

(+1)

simon1619. 09. 2022 16:57:10

One could go via macadam path too, but I missed a bit so I went part pathless in forest and then joined macadam path at foot of Boljunov vrh.

Great trip Simon!

(09.05. 2025) Strane- Maj- Votla Stena- Suhi Vrh- Vojkova koča and descent towards Veliki Ubelski. Part of the path we went along Jakob's path. To the starting point in Strane. The weather was just right for Friday. Grayness that lasted until we descended the demanding slippery path. But the tour was really nice. Mystical, as on the ridge path we couldn't even see each other. Stop at the hut. Where the caretaker is really great. And we even saw a bear, but not the real one velik nasmeh

. When Maksi smelled something while walking, he walked right behind me. We knew some animal was nearby. nasmeh

For descent from Suhega Vrha we chose the shorter path so we didn't walk on the road. It's still visible. Cairns help. We walked 14 km.
