Access to starting point:
a) From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway, we take the Razdrto exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Nova Gorica. After Razdrto the road starts to descend more steeply, and we follow it to the junction where a road closed to public traffic branches off left downhill towards Lozice, and to the right a road branches off towards the former construction site of the expressway (the mentioned junction is located near the 7 km road marker, and there are also signs for Nanos at the junction). Since we must not turn left or right at the mentioned junction, it is better to leave the car a few 100 m higher, at one of several parking areas along the road.
b) From the Nova Gorica - Razdrto expressway, we take the Vipava exit, then continue driving on the old road towards Razdrto. We continue through Podnanos and past the junction of the road leading to Nanos. From the mentioned junction, we follow the main road for only another 2 km, then we arrive at the junction where a road closed to public traffic branches off sharply right and steeply downhill towards Lozice, and to the left a road towards the former construction site of the expressway (the mentioned junction is located near the 7 km road marker, and there are also signs for Nanos at the junction). Since we must not turn left or right at the mentioned junction, it is better to leave the car a few 100 m lower, at one of several parking areas along the road.
Route description:
From the starting point we first walk to the junction mentioned in the description of the starting point, then continue along the ascending road, which also has signs for Nanos. The road initially ascends steeply, then levels out temporarily and leads us under the viaducts of the nearby expressway. A few 10 m further, we arrive at an unmarked junction, where we continue sharply right onto the road, which comes very close to the expressway.
When we see the transmitters on the right side (we will not see the transmitters in fog), on the left side of the road we notice signs for Nanos, which direct us left. We continue ascending through a belt of shrubs to the nearby meadow, where the path quickly leads us to the nearby "spring". Above the spring the path turns left into a low forest, through which it begins to ascend first gently, then moderately. Higher up we reach a somewhat wider path, which we immediately leave, as the markings direct us left onto a gradually steeper trail. A few 10 m higher we cross another cart track, and the path, which gradually turns left, already becomes somewhat steeper. A transverse ascent to the left follows and the path leads us to the "Lozice resting place", where the path from Podnanos (starting point Hrašče) joins from the left.
Here we continue right towards the hunting lodge, and a relatively wide path, in numerous switchbacks, leads us across increasingly steep slopes. The relatively steep path occasionally leads us across quite scenic slopes, from which we get a beautiful view towards the Vipava Hills. Higher up we reach a somewhat more demanding section, where the otherwise wide path ascends transversely across a short exposed slope (especially in snow and ice there is a risk of slipping). Above the exposed traverse we arrive at a marked fork, where we continue straight onto the wide path (left downhill Podnanos and Vipava, right Vojkova koča past Strmec). We continue ascending moderately on the wide path, along which after a good 10 minutes of further walking we arrive at the Vojkovo hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge we continue to the nearby asphalt road and follow it to the right, to the nearby Vrata, after which we step onto the southwestern part of the Nanos plateau. On the other side of Vrata the road begins to descend, but we follow it only for a short time, as the markings then direct us left onto a marked footpath, which descends through a pine grove. After a short descent we return to the road and follow it to the left. We walk along the road to the nearby right bend, at the end of which a marked path branches off to the left. We continue along the cart track, which begins to ascend gently, but we walk along it for only a few 10 m, then on the right side we notice the poorly visible beginning of a footpath, which gradually begins to descend transversely towards Šembijska bajta.
At the mentioned bajta we return to the road, along which we continue the route. Somewhat higher we arrive at a triangular junction, where the road to Vipava branches off to the left, and we continue slightly right, along a gradually somewhat steeper road. The road, which continues through the forest, then rises by almost 150 vertical meters and leads us to a junction, where we reach the marked path Abram - Vojkova koča. Here we continue left, along the road, which begins to descend gently. After a few minutes we step out of the forest, where at the junction we continue right towards the nearby hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, near which there is a large parking area, we continue along the road for a few more meters, then the signs for the Abram agritourism direct us left onto a narrower road, along which we only walk to the nearby shelter.

Discussion about the trip Lozice - Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu

So you can drive to Vojkova koča by car, then it's another 1 hour on foot to Furlanovo zavetišče. Is that right? Not that we're lazy, just sometimes on the way from the sea.

Yes, you can drive to Vojkova koča by car and from there it's two and a half hours to Abram (Jež or also Furlanovo zavetišče) - and another two and a half hours back to the car... But you can also drive to Abram by car (the road is half asphalt, the second half good gravel). We'd go sometimes on the way from the sea - for stamps for SPP. And to Sinji vrh, Čaven and Pirnatova koča you can also drive by car, except to Golake... There it's really one hour to the stamp at the top...

This doesn't make sense to me. From the starting point Lozice it's 2.5 hours to Abram, and from Vojkova hunters' hut also 2.5 hours to Abram.
So the sign on picture no.38 doesn't hold (Abram- 1h)?

Marinka67 - there's something misunderstood here. Namely, there are two objects, one is Vojkova koča on Nanos (that's where the TV transmitters are) and from there it's two hours to Furlanovo zavetišče. The other is Lovska koča Vojkovo, from there it's one hour to the shelter. You can reach both by car. If you go to Razdrtem via Rebernices towards Podnanos, just before Podnanos there's a right turn to Nanos. The road is fully asphalted and takes you to Lovska koča Vojkovo. If you continue, you reach gravel and there's a fork - straight goes the path to Furlanovo zavetišče (or to Abram, as it's better known in our parts), right leads to Vojkova koča. All turnoffs are well marked.

Eh, yes, of course, I think one thing, write another. Thanks mirjam67, now I understand. So:
We drive to hunters' hut Vojkovo and from there to Abram it's 1 hour walk.
We were at Vojkova koča on Nanos two years ago, also on the way from the sea. It doesn't seem fair to us to drive for SPP stamps, at least an hour's walk is needed for it to count.

Yes Marinka67, now you've understood correctly. And about the stamps, I completely agree with you. Have you noticed that we have something in common?

Apparently we both entered the year in the password. But let me tell you, that's a very good year, they don't make them anymore!

Nice autumn hike Still, I think a more realistic estimate is that it takes three hours to walk. You have to cover quite a long distance, first you climb from the Vipava Valley to the plateau, from there it's still almost an hour of walking (flat or only slight gradual ascents) to the hut. My boyfriend and I are not sprinters, but yesterday we walked relatively quickly, without breaks. So, count on it taking longer than stated
And a few notes on the route description. The "junction at the transmitter" is a bit poorly visible. When walking on the path that is practically parallel to the highway, it takes about 10 minutes to spot the mentioned transmitter. The transmitter is on the highway itself. Then you need to look carefully to your left. The "Nanos" sign is on a stone on the ground, which is also a bit overgrown, so you have to watch out. The path is narrow and easy to miss. When passing "Vrat", it's best to stay on the road (wide gravel). Cars do pass by, but shortening via the path to Šembiška bajta doesn't make much sense, as the path is a bit overgrown (as said by passing locals).
Otherwise, a nice hike. It starts among brambles with views of the Vipava Valley, great views of the Nanos barren landscape, the path to Abram winds already among spruces.

Thanks for the tips, the tour was fully successful! Fog hindered us, but no problem, you can't have everything

Greetings to all!
I accidentally learned about this mountain station and indignantly noticed the photo of a bear in a cage. This is probably the past, isn't it? Does anyone know anything about it? Locking such an animal in such a small cage is namely as inhumane as locking the caretaker of this shelter in the pantry.
Best, Matej

Hello, it's not the past, the bear is still in this cage on a few square meters, somehow it's considered an attraction of this inn...

they won't, it's been quite a few years already, come see it live, but if you want to eat or drink something, I think you have to reserve beforehand, at least in summer it's like that, full of pasta eaters.
