Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana–Koper highway, take the Razdrto exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Nova Gorica. After Razdrto, the road starts descending more steeply, and we follow it to the intersection, where the road towards Nanos branches off to the right. We take the mentioned road, where after the first sharp right turn we park in an appropriate place beside the next smaller intersection.
B) From the Nova Gorica–Razdrto expressway, take the Vipava exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto; we drive on it for only a few kilometres, then the signs for Nanos direct us sharply left onto an ascending road. We take the mentioned road, where after the first sharp right turn we park in an appropriate place beside the next smaller intersection.
Route description:
From the starting point, we head onto a side road, beside which we notice signs for Nanos and the hunting cottage. We walk a few metres along the mentioned road, then the blazes direct us right onto a marked footpath, which starts ascending through the forest. A little higher we cross an asphalt road; when we step onto it a second time, we continue along it across the expressway. On the other side of the expressway, which we cross right at the beginning of the tunnel, the road up which we are ascending gradually turns right. We walk along the asphalt to the end of the next hairpin bend, from there we head right onto a marked path, which higher returns to the road.
When we step onto the road again, we follow it right (straight along the footpath - path past the Korita), and we walk along it for some time. Higher, the path to the village Lozice branches off right and downwards; we, only a little higher, continue left onto a footpath, which soon crosses the road we have just left. A few steps higher we step onto a wide cart track and follow it right. At the junctions we follow the cart track in the direction indicated by the blazes; higher it turns into a wide footpath. A few more minutes of ascent follow, and the path brings us to a junction, where the path from Lozice joins us.
Here we continue left towards the hunting cottage; a relatively wide path leads us in numerous zigzags across ever steeper slopes. The relatively steep path occasionally takes us across quite panoramic slopes from which a nice view opens towards the Vipava Hills. Higher we reach a somewhat more demanding section, where the otherwise wide path ascends transversely across a short exposed slope (danger of slipping especially in snow and ice). Above the exposed traverse we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue straight onto the wide path (left downwards to Podnanos and Vipava, right to Vojkova koča via Strmec). Ahead we ascend moderately along the wide path, and after about 10 minutes of further walking we arrive at the Vojkovo hunting cottage.
