Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu - Suhi vrh (Nanos) (gentle path)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Koper highway, we take the Razdrto exit and continue driving on the old road through Razdrto towards the Vipava Valley. After a few kilometers of descent on a quite winding road, we will come to a crossroads, where the road towards Nanos branches off to the right. We take the mentioned road, which starts to ascend more steeply. When higher up the road flattens and turns from the steep slope onto the plateau, we will come to a crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Abram. Also in all the following crossroads we follow the road towards Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu. We park on the large parking lot next to the nearby hunting lodge.
B) From the Nova Gorica - Razdrto expressway, we take the Vipava exit and follow the road ahead towards Podnanos. From Podnanos we continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto. Soon we come to a crossroads, where the road towards Nanos branches off sharply to the left. We take the mentioned road, which starts to ascend more steeply. When higher up the road flattens and turns from the steep slope onto the plateau, we will come to a crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Abram. Also in all the following crossroads we follow the road towards Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu. We park on the large parking lot next to the nearby hunting lodge.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of Vojkova koča and Podnanos. The gentle road quickly brings us to a smaller hamlet, where we continue on the upper left road. The road ahead leads along the edge of the forest, from where a nice view opens up on the Dolomites. Only a little further, the road passes into a dense forest and brings us to the next crossroads, where we continue straight. Through the forest, we walk for a few more minutes, then the road brings us onto increasingly panoramic slopes. Here we will notice signs for Vojkova koča, which direct us left onto a marked but partly somewhat overgrown footpath. After the initial ascent the path quickly flattens and brings us onto plateau-like terrain. A little further ahead, we cross a short strip of bushes, and the path then continues for some time across extensive and partly overgrown karst meadows. A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the next road, which we follow right downhill. After a short descent, we leave the road again and continue the ascent left onto a marked cart track, along which we first ascend relatively steeply, then gently. Further we ascend along the edge of the indistinct Ječmenovec valley, the path higher passes into the forest, through which it ascends to the unvegetated saddle northwest of Laniški vrh (1236 m).
From the saddle a descent follows to the nearby road which leads to Vojkova koča; we merely cross it and continue on the marked hiking path. The path soon turns slightly to the left and higher returns onto the mentioned road. A moderately steep path, from which we occasionally get some views, then continues alternately through the forest and partly on the macadam road. We follow this path all the way to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
From the hut we continue on the marked path in the direction of Suhi vrh. The path first crosses the meadow behind the hut, then ascends briefly. Some walking follows with shorter descents and ascents to a panoramic grassy slope. The path then returns into the forest and starts to descend more steeply. After a few minutes of descent we come to a marked junction, where we continue left in the direction of Suhi vrh (straight downhill to Strane). After a few minutes of further walking, we step onto the forest road, which soon brings us to the hunting cottage.
We continue further on the road, from which a steep path soon branches off to the right. We continue straight, and the road soon brings us to a crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of Suhi vrh. The road a little further starts to descend, then we notice a marked footpath which turns sharply to the right from the road. We take the mentioned footpath, which in a few minutes of somewhat steeper ascent brings us to Suhi vrh.
