Lozice - Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, take the Razdrto exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Nova Gorica. After Razdrto, the road starts steeply descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where a left downwards for public traffic closed road towards Lozice branches off, and to the right the road towards the former building site of the highway branches off (the mentioned crossroad is located near the road sign 7 km, by the crossroad there are also signs for Nanos). Because in the mentioned crossroad we are not allowed to turn left or right, it is better to leave the car already a few 100 meters higher, on one of the many parking lots by the road.
B) From the highway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, take the Vipava exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto. Further, we drive through Podnanos and past the turn-off of the road which leads to Nanos. From the mentioned crossroad, we follow the main road only 2 km, then we arrive at a crossroad, where sharply right and steeply downwards a for public traffic closed road towards Lozice branches off, and to the left the road towards the former building site of the highway (the mentioned crossroad is located near the road sign 7 km, by the crossroad there are also signs for Nanos). Because in the mentioned crossroad we are not allowed to turn left or right, it is better to leave the car already a few 100 meters lower, on one of the many parking lots by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we first walk to the crossroad mentioned in the description of the starting point, and from there we continue on the ascending road, along which there are also signs for Nanos. The road first steeply ascends, then temporarily flattens and leads us under the viaducts of the nearby highway. Some 10 m ahead, we arrive at an unmarked crossroad, where we continue sharply right onto the road, which gets very close to the highway.
When on the right side we notice the transmitters (we won't see the transmitters in the fog), then on the left side of the road we notice signs for Nanos, which direct us left. Further, we ascend through a belt of bushes to the nearby meadow, where the path quickly brings us to the nearby "spring". Above the spring, the path turns left into the low forest, through which it starts first gently, then moderately ascending. Higher, we reach a somewhat wider path, which we immediately leave, as the blazes direct us left onto a gradually steeper footpath. Some 10 m higher, we cross another cart track, and the path, which gradually turns left, already becomes somewhat steeper. A traverse ascent towards the left follows, and the path brings us to the "Loziško počivalo", where from the left the path from Podnanos joins (starting point Hrašče).
Here we continue right in the direction of the hunting cottage, and the relatively wide path, in numerous zigzags, leads over increasingly steep slopes. The relatively steep path occasionally leads us over quite panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens towards the Vipavska brda. Higher, we arrive at a somewhat more demanding section, where the otherwise wide path ascends transversely over a short exposed slope (mainly in snow and ice there is a risk of slipping). Above the exposed traverse, we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue straight onto the wide path (left downwards Podnanos and Vipava, right Vojkova koča past Strmec). Further, we moderately ascend on the wide path, on which in good 10 minutes of further walking we arrive at the hunting cottage Vojkovo.
From the hunting cottage, we continue to the nearby asphalt road and follow it to the right to the nearby Vrata, behind which we step onto the southwestern part of the Nanos plateau. On the other side of Vrata, the road starts descending, and we follow it only briefly, as then the blazes direct us left onto the marked footpath, which descends through a pine thicket. After a short descent, we return to the road and follow it to the left. Along the road, we walk to the nearby right bend, at the end of which a marked path branches off to the left. We continue on the cart track, which starts gently ascending; we walk on it only some 10 m, then on the right side we notice the poorly visible start of the footpath, which gradually starts descending transversely towards the Šembijska bajta.
At the mentioned bajta, we return to the road, on which we continue. Somewhat higher, we arrive at a triangular crossroad, where to the left the road towards Vipava branches off, and we continue slightly right on the gradually somewhat steeper road. The road, which continues through the forest, then rises almost 150 altitude meters and brings us to a crossroad, where we reach the marked path Abram - Vojkova koča. Here we continue left on the road, which starts gently descending. After a few minutes, we step out of the forest, where at the crossroad we continue right towards the nearby hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, near which there is a large parking lot, we continue a few meters further on the road, then the signs for farm tourism Abram direct us left onto a narrower road, along which we only walk to the nearby shelter.
