Gradišče pri Vipavi - Vojkova koča na Nanosu (Furlan way)

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

Route description:
From the parking lot we head onto the path in the direction of Gradiška Tura and Abram. Initially a wide and gentle path quickly brings us to the first junction, where we continue straight ahead (right St. Miklavž). After a few more steps we reach a scree field, over which we ascend transversely onto bush-covered slopes. The path ahead ascends ever more steeply and soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue left following the signs for "very demanding secured path". Already at the beginning of the very demanding part we ascend almost vertically up the rocky slope secured with pegs and a steel cable. The path then becomes less demanding for a few steps, turns slightly to the left and then steeply ascends again alongside the steel cable upwards to the right. We continue ascending alongside the steel cable for some time and soon reach a scenic platform, which is located just a few steps to the left of the path. At the platform, from which there is a nice view of the Vipava Valley, there is also a small bench.
From the platform we continue right upwards. The secured path leads us to an exposed narrow ridge, which is well secured with a steel cable. The path ahead becomes less demanding and we soon reach a junction, where a less demanding path joins from the right.
We continue on the path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply. A little below the summit we notice an interesting verse on a rock, after which, after a few steps, we step onto the summit of Gradiška Tura.
From Gradiška Tura we continue on the marked path in the direction of Jež. The path enters the forest, where apart from 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. We walk along the road only briefly to the first junction, where we turn sharply left to the house noticed on the left side. Here we leave the poorer road and continue right upwards on the marked path, which after a few steps brings us to a cart track, which we follow to the right. The path, with some shorter ascents and descents, brings us to the next forest road, which we merely cross. A moderate ascent follows, first across the meadow, then through the forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu.
We bypass Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu on the left side and continue along the road, on which already after a few dozen steps we arrive at the hunting lodge, in front of which there is a large parking lot.
From the parking lot we continue along 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 onto the Dolomites. A little further the road enters dense forest and brings us to the next junction, where we continue straight. We walk through the forest for a few more minutes, after which the road brings us to increasingly panoramic slopes. Here we notice signs for Vojkova koča, which direct us left onto a marked but partly somewhat overgrown footpath. After the initial ascent the path quickly levels out and brings us to plateau terrain. Somewhat further we cross a short strip of scrub, and the path then continues for some time across vast and partly overgrown karst meadows. A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the next road, which we follow right downwards. After a short descent we leave the road again and continue the ascent left onto the marked cart track, along which we ascend first relatively steeply, then gently. Further we ascend along the edge of the indistinct valley Ječmenovec, and the path higher enters 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 leading to Vojkova koča, which we merely cross, continuing on the marked mountain path. The path soon turns slightly left and higher returns to the aforementioned road. The moderately steep path, from which some views occasionally open up, then continues alternately through the forest, partly along the macadam road. We follow this path all the way to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
