Gradišče - Sveti Hieronim (via Sveti Miklavž)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and take the Vipava exit. When we leave the highway we arrive at an old road which we follow in the direction of Vipava. Before we get to Vipava, from the road a road branches off to the right, which leads towards the village Gradišče (turn-off is marked). Further, we ascend 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 brings us to a marked junction. From the junction, we continue straight (left Gradiška Tura and Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu) and continue the path in the direction of St. Miklavž (on signs Sv. Miklavž). Further, we gently ascend towards south to southeast, the path leads us past a few turn-offs to nearby climbing areas. At all junctions we continue straight and still cross the slopes of Gradiška Tura, later also Podraška Tura. A short descent follows, then we ascend to the church of St. Miklavž, next to which there is a stamp box with a logbook.
From the church, we continue on a poor road which begins to descend slightly. After a short descent, a cart track branches off slightly to the right leading further to Podnanos, we continue straight on the road which leads us past a smaller spring (the spring is 20 meters from the path). Further on, the road ascends and descends moderately a few times, then brings us to a marked junction where to the left the path to Abram branches off (path over Konj), to the right downward the path to Podnanos branches off, we continue straight ahead. A little further, another path from Podnanos joins from the right, we follow the poor road all the way to the place where we join the asphalt road leading to Nanos. We reach the road right on a pronounced hairpin bend, and begin to ascend on it with increasingly beautiful views. To the next bend we continue on the road, then the marks direct us right to a footpath by which we ascend somewhat more steeply. The well-marked path returns to the road higher up and leaves it again after a few minutes, a bit higher it crosses it once more. The path further leads us past a large chapel which is visible from afar. Somewhat above the chapel we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right upward in the direction of Vojkova koča past Strmec (left hunting cottage Vojkovo, right downward Lozice).
The path ahead becomes quite steep and much less beaten, but orientationally not particularly demanding. Higher the path brings us out of the forest and after the slope break it flattens completely. Here we continue straight on a barely noticeable path, on which in 2 minutes of further walking we join the well-beaten and marked path hunting cottage Vojkovo - Vojkova koča on Nanos.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the right (left hunting cottage 10 minutes), it leads us further across grassy slopes occasionally overgrown with bushes and individual pines. The easy and barely ascending path then briefly joins the road but leaves it after a few steps. The path then withdraws somewhat more to the right from the road and begins moderately ascending across increasingly scenic slopes of Nanos. Here an unmarked path joins us from the right, which branched off to the right somewhat lower. The path ahead becomes a little steeper and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the church of St. Jerome already visible from afar.
