Gradišče - Vojkova koča na Nanosu (via Sveti Miklavž)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and head for the Vipava exit. When we leave the highway we arrive at the old road, which we follow in the direction of Vipava. Before we get to Vipava, a road branches off to the right from the road, which leads towards the village Gradišče (the turn-off is marked). We ascend through the village, following the signs for camp Tura and Gradiška Tura. When we ascend above the village we arrive at the mentioned camp and a larger parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the marked footpath in the direction of Gradiška Tura, Abram and St. Miklavž. The path after a shorter ascent turns right, flattens out and brings us to a marked junction. From the junction we continue straight (left Gradiška Tura and Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu) and continue along the path in the direction of St. Miklavž (on signs Sv. Miklav). Further on, we gently ascend towards south to southeast, the path leading us past a few turn-offs to nearby climbing areas. At all junctions we continue straight and continue crossing the slopes of Gradiška Tura, later also Podraška Tura. A short descent follows, then we ascend to the church of St. Miklavž, beside which there is a stamp box with a logbook.
From the church we continue along a poor road, which begins to descend slightly. After a short descent a cart track branches off slightly to the right, leading further towards Podnanos, while we continue straight on the road that takes us past a smaller spring (the spring is 20 meters from the path). Further on, the road moderately ascends and descends a few times, then brings us to a marked junction, where to the left a path branches off towards Abram (path over Konj), to the right downward a path towards Podnanos branches off, while we continue straight ahead. A little further another path from Podnanos joins from the right, and 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 distinct serpentine, and begin ascending it with ever more beautiful views. To the next bend we continue on the road, then the marks direct us right onto a footpath, along which we ascend somewhat more steeply. The well-marked path higher returns to the road and leaves it again after a few minutes, somewhat higher crossing it once more. The path further leads us past a large chapel, which is already 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 trodden, but orientationally not particularly demanding. Higher the path brings us out of the forest and completely flattens after the slope break. Here we continue straight on a barely noticeable trail, along which in 2 minutes of further walking we join the well-trodden and marked path hunting cottage Vojkovo - Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the right (left hunting cottage 10 minutes), which further leads us across grassy slopes occasionally overgrown with bushes and individual pines. The easy and hardly ascending path then briefly joins the road but leaves it already after a few steps. The path then withdraws somewhat more to the right from the road and begins to ascend moderately across increasingly panoramic slopes of Nanos. Here an unmarked path joins 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. Hieronimus already visible from afar.
From the church we continue slightly right along the path, to which a flat path from Razdrto joins from the right a little higher. We continue in the direction of Vojkova koča along the path that a few steps further brings us to a less noticeable junction, where to the left an unmarked path to Grmada branches off. We continue slightly right along the marked path, which further ascends parallel to the road for quite some time. The path ahead distances itself a little more to the right from the road and passes onto the panoramic northwestern rim of Nanos. Here the so-called Janezova pot joins almost unnoticeably from the right, while we continue straight along a wide trail that leads us towards the transmitters on Nanos. Just a little before the transmitters the path turns left, descends into a strip of forest and then past the monument of Janko Premrl Vojko brings us to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
