On Sunday, 17.8.2014, I took advantage of the autumn temperatures and friendly transport to the village of Strane for the ascent to the highest peak of the Nanos plateau, the 1313 m high Suhi vrh. Of the two described paths on Hribi.net, I "managed" to find a third path.
After an hour of walking, a faded mark on a stone directed me right to Suhi vrh. On the map available on Hribi.net, the path is drawn, but in practice it is marked by three cairns and one faded mark. The path is shorter than the currently marked path. It runs through solitary forest the whole time. It is mostly easy to follow, but when leaves fall, orientation can be a problem.
Already after a few steps from the junction, I came to a fork of two equivalent paths. The cairn directed me to the right path, which first gently, then more steeply ascends through the forest. The path was nicely followable in the lower part, higher up it got a bit lost. Here, footprints of predecessors in the spongy ground helped me. The trail led me to the edge where the valley was visible. Here a faded mark also appeared. Mistakenly, I rushed to the top of the hill rising a few meters above me and upon reaching the top realized that the real peak is probably the rise in front of me. Followed a descent somewhat more to the right and soon I came to another cairn and a better visible little trail, which in a somewhat steeper ascent took me to Suhi vrh. Unfortunately, there was nothing of the promised views to the Julian Alps, Karavanke and Kamnik Savinja Alps, as the peaks were wrapped in clouds.
Followed a descent along the gentle path and continuation towards Vojak hut and Pleša.
Although Suhi vrh is 50 m higher than Pleša, the path to Vojak hut due to some descents also climbs quite a bit and in the end is not as comfortable as I imagined. It mostly runs through forest and there are no views. But there is lots of shade and thus access is more friendly in summer days. On Pleša, the heart rejoiced at the expanses to the shining sea and wonderful colors of grasses and flowers. I delayed the descent to Razdrto with endless photographing until the last. But the departure of the last bus was approaching, so it was time to go to the valley, which I headed for along the gentle path.
