Gradišče - Vojkova koča na Nanosu (easier path)

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 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 (right St. Miklavž). After a few more steps of walking, the path brings us to a scree field, across which we ascend diagonally onto bush-covered slopes. The path ahead ascends ever more steeply and soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue to the right on the much easier but still partly demanding path. The path then immediately crosses a short but well-secured exposed ledge, behind which we ascend to the panoramic Oltar. From Oltar we continue further on the steep path, which is secured in places with a steel cable or pitons. The steepness then gradually eases and the path brings us to the place where a climbing path joins from the left. We continue ahead on the path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply over some shorter rocky step. A little below the summit on a rock we notice an interesting inscription, 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. We walk along the road only briefly, to the first intersection, 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, which 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.
From Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu, which we bypass on the left side, we continue along the road, after 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 ahead the road 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 brings us to increasingly panoramic slopes. Here we will 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-like terrain. Somewhat further we cross a short strip of scrub, and the path then continues for some time across expansive and partly overgrown karst meadows. A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the next road, which we follow right downhill. After a short descent we leave the road again and continue the ascent left onto the marked cart track, along which we first ascend relatively steeply, then gently. Further we ascend along the edge of the indistinct valley Ječmenovec, and higher the path enters the forest, through which it ascends to the bare 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 and continue along the marked mountain path. The path soon turns slightly left and higher returns to the aforementioned road. The moderately steep path, from which occasional views open up, then continues alternately through the forest and partly along the gravel road. We follow this path all the way to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
