Gradišče pri Vipavi - Vojkova koča na Nanosu (easier path)

Access to starting point:
From the Vipava highway, we take the Vipava exit. After leaving the highway, we continue on the old road towards Vipava. Before reaching the town, a marked road branches off to the right towards the village of Gradišče pri Vipavi. We then ascend through the village and follow the signs for Kamp Tura and Gradiška Tura. Once above the village, we reach the mentioned camp and a large parking lot where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot we head onto the path towards Gradiška Tura and Abram. Initially a wide and gentle path quickly leads us to the first junction, where we continue straight (right to St. Miklavž). After a few more steps we reach a scree slope, across which we ascend transversely onto shrub-covered slopes. The path then becomes increasingly steep and soon brings us to a junction where the very difficult Furlanova path branches off to the left; we continue right on the normal, significantly easier but still partly demanding path. Just a few minutes further along this path we come to a point where the very difficult Otmarjeva ferrata branches off to the right; our path immediately after crosses a short but well-protected exposed ledge, after which we climb to the scenic Oltar. From Oltar we continue on a steep path that is in places protected by cables or pitons. The steepness then gradually eases and the path leads us to a point where the climbing path joins again from the left. We continue on the path that occasionally still rises quite steeply over a short rock step. A little below the summit on a rock we notice an interesting verse, after which, after a few steps, we reach the top of Gradiška Tura.
From the summit we continue on the marked path towards Jež. The path turns into 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 next leads us across a pleasant meadow surrounded by sparse forest. After the meadow we step onto a road, where we continue right, again towards Abram. We walk on the road only briefly to the first intersection, where we turn sharply left to a house visible on the left side. Here we leave the poorer road and continue right uphill on the marked path. This brings us after a few steps to a cart track, which we follow to the right. The path with a few short ascents and descents leads us to the next forest road, which we merely cross. A moderate ascent follows, first across a meadow, then through forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu.
We bypass Furlanovo zavetišče on the left side and continue on the road, after a few dozen steps reaching the hunting lodge with a large parking lot in front.
From the parking lot we continue on the road towards Vojkova koča and Podnanos. The gentle road quickly leads us to a small hamlet, where we continue on the upper left road. The road next leads along the edge of the forest, from where a beautiful view of the Dolomites opens. A little further it enters dense forest and brings us to the next intersection, where we continue straight. We walk through the forest for a few more minutes, then the road leads us onto increasingly scenic slopes. Here we notice signs for Vojkova koča directing us left onto a marked but in places somewhat overgrown footpath. After an initial ascent the path quickly levels and leads us onto plateau terrain. A little further we cross a short belt of shrubs, then the path for some time leads across extensive and partly overgrown karst meadows. A short ascent follows and the path leads us to the next road, which we follow right downhill. After a short descent we again leave the road and continue the ascent left onto a marked cart track, on which we first ascend relatively steeply, then more gently. Further we ascend along the edge of the indistinct Ječmenovec valley; higher up the path enters forest, through which it climbs to the bare saddle northwest of Laniški vrh (1236 m).
From the saddle a descent follows to the nearby road leading to Vojkova koča, but we only cross it and continue on the marked mountain path. The path soon turns slightly left and higher up returns to the mentioned road. The moderately steep path, from which an occasional view opens, then alternately continues through forest and partly on a gravel road. We follow this path all the way to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
