Podkraj - Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Koper, we take the Logatec exit and follow the road to Logatec. From the roundabout, where we reach the old road, we continue in the direction of Idrija and Tolmin. We drive ahead on the main road towards Idrija, but at the end of the settlement Kalce we turn left in the direction of Podkraj and Col (the crossroad is located only a few 10 meters ahead from the crossroad, where the road towards Planina and Postojna branches off to the left). From Kalce onwards, the road becomes quite winding, and we follow it to the settlement Podkraj. Here we turn left towards the center of the village and then after a short descent sharply left in the direction of Nanos. When the village ends, we get to the forest and park at an appropriate place by the road.
B) From the expressway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, we take the Ajdovščina exit, then follow the road towards Col and Idrija. At the beginning of Col we turn right in the direction of Podkraj and Logatec, and we follow the road to the settlement Podkraj. Here we turn right towards the center of the settlement and drive ahead past the church to the crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of Nanos. When the village ends, we get to the forest and park at an appropriate place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road to which from the right already after a few minutes joins the marked path from the center of Podkraj. We continue on the road which past a smaller sign, in a gentle descent, brings us to the first crossroad, where we continue straight in the direction of Nanos (right Bela and Sanabor). From the crossroad the road goes into a dense forest and passes from the slope to the plateau terrain of Nanos. In the forest, we soon get to the second crossroad, where we continue sharply right (left Bukovje). The road then for quite some time continues with some ascents and descents, to a crossroad below the 905 m high peak Soline.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Abram (left Trška ravan, right Sanabor) and we follow the macadam road which gradually passes to mostly western slopes. When the road rises a little, it brings us to a smaller hamlet (Blažon), from where a view opens up towards the sea and in good visibility also to the Dolomites. From the hamlet, which we bypass on the right side, the road gradually starts descending and brings us into the forest, through which we descend to a somewhat bigger crossroad. Here we continue left in the direction of Abram (right Vipava) and we follow the slightly ascending road which leads us through an increasingly sparse forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu, which we reach after a good 20 minutes of additional walking.

On the way: Blažon (913m)
