Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and we go to the exit Vipava. We follow the road ahead, towards Vipava and Gradišče. In the village Gradišče we notice the first mountain signposts, which we follow to a larger parking lot above the village Gradišče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the path towards Gradiška Tura and Abram. Initially a wide and easy path quickly brings us to the first junction, where we continue straight (right St. Miklavž). After a few more steps, the path brings us to a scree field, over which we ascend transversely to the bush-covered slopes. The path ahead ascends ever more steeply and soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue on the right, much easier but still partly demanding path. The path then immediately crosses a short but well-secured exposed ledge, behind which we climb to the panoramic Oltar. From Oltar we continue on the steep path, which in places is secured with a steel cable or pitons. The steepness then gradually eases and the path brings us to the spot where a climbing path joins from the left. We continue ahead on the path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply over some shorter rocky steps. A little below the summit, on a rock we notice an interesting verse, behind which after a few steps we reach the summit.
From Gradiška Tura we continue on the marked path in the direction of Jež. The path then enters the forest, where except for a few initial steps it descends. After a few minutes of gentle descent we reach a junction, where we continue straight towards Abram (left Vipava). The path ahead leads us across a pleasant meadow surrounded by sparse forest. Behind the meadow we step onto a road, where we continue right, again towards Abram. On the road we walk only a short time to the first crossroads, where we turn sharply left to the house we notice on the left side. Here we leave the poorer road and continue right uphill on the marked path, which after a few steps brings us to a cart track that we follow to the right. The further path, with some shorter ascents and descents, brings us to the next forest road, which we merely cross. A moderate ascent follows, first across a meadow, then through the forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu.
