Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and we go to the exit Vipava. When we leave the highway we get to an old road which we follow in the direction of Vipava. Before we get to Vipava, from the road, the road branches off to the right, which leads towards the village Gradišče (turn-off is marked). Further, we are ascending through the village, and we follow the signs for camp Tura and Gradiška Tura. When we ascend above the village we get to the mentioned camp and larger parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a marked footpath in the direction of Gradiška Tura, Abram and St. Miklavž. The path after a shorter ascent turns right, flattens and it brings us to a marked crossing. From the crossing, we continue straight (left Gradiška Tura and cottage Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu) and we continue in the direction of St. Miklavž (on signs Sv. Miklav). Further, we are gently ascending towards the south to southeast, and the path leads us past few turn-offs to the nearby climbing areas. At all crossings we continue straight and we still cross slopes of Gradiška Tura, and later also Podraška Tura. Next follows a short descent, and then we ascend to the church of St. Miklavž, by which there is situated an inscription box with an inscription book.
From the church, we continue on a bad road which starts slightly descending. After a short descent, the cart track branches off slightly to the right, which leads further towards Podnanos, and we continue straight on the road which leads us past a smaller source (a well is from the path distant 20 meters). Further, the road few times moderately ascends and descends again, and then it brings us to the marked crossing, where the path towards Abram branches off to the left (path over Konj), right downwards path towards Podnanos branches off, and we still continue straight. A little further from the right also joins one path from Podnanos, and we follow a bad road all the way to the spot, where we join the asphalt road which leads on Nanos. We reach the road right on distinct hairpin turn, and we start ascending there with increasingly beautiful views. To next turn we continue on the road, and then blazes point us to the right on a footpath, on which we are a little steeper ascending. A well-marked path higher returns on the road and after few minutes again leaves it, and even a little higher it once again crosses it. The path ahead leads us past big chapel, which is visible already from far. A little above the chapel we get to a marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of the hunting cottage (right upward Vojkova koča past Strmec, right downwards Lozice and Podnanos over Brižnik).
Further, we are moderately ascending on a wide path, on which in good 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the hunting cottage Vojkovo.
