Podnanos - Grmada (Nanos) (Pod zatrepom)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and we go to the exit Vipava. When we leave the highway we get to an old road which we follow in the direction of Podnanos. When we get to Podnanos we turn left towards the nearby primary school, post office and store. We park on a large parking lot in front of the mentioned buildings.

Path description:
Near the information board about Nanos we notice the first signs for Abram, hunting cottage and Vojkovo koča, which direct us to the road that continues alongside the nearby school sports field. Behind the sports field we arrive at a smaller junction, where the signs for Nanos direct us right, but we continue straight along the road, which turns left and ends at the nearby house. We continue over a small bridge and then right immediately behind it, where for a short time we walk directly alongside the water. A little further ahead we join the asphalt road, which takes us to a smaller junction, where we continue right, then a little further we also cross the stream Močilnik. The road further leads past the Furlan wine cellar, after which the settlement slowly ends. At the end of the settlement we arrive at a junction, where we continue right in the direction of "run" and intervention access to the highway over Rebrnice. We continue further along the asphalt road, which some 10 meters ahead takes us to the next junction, where we again continue right in the direction of "hike and run" (left leads the road to the nearby houses). Just a little further a path along the running trail branches off to the right, but we continue on the asphalt road by which we climb above the highway. On the other side of the highway, which we cross at the edge of the tunnel entrance, the asphalt ends, the road turns left and takes us to a smaller junction, where we continue sharply right. From the macadam road a few steps higher, in the middle of a sharp left bend, a marked path branches off to the right, leading towards Abram (path over Konj), hunting cottage Vojkovo and Vojkova koča on Nanos.
We continue in the mentioned direction (further along the St. Miklavž road) and initially walk along a somewhat more overgrown cart track. Soon we leave the cart track as the blazes direct us left onto the slope, over which we continue ascending along a somewhat overgrown path. The path soon levels out and takes us to a cart track, along which we continue the ascent. Higher up the path takes us to a wider cart track, which we follow to the right for just a few steps, then the blazes direct us left onto a somewhat steeper trail. Further on we ascend for a few minutes along a path somewhat eroded by water, then we arrive at a well-marked junction, where we continue straight ahead (left to Abram over Konj) in the direction of Vojkova koča on Nanos. Ahead the path ascends gently towards the right for a while, then takes us to a cart track, along which we climb to the nearby macadam road. When we step onto the road, the path from Gradišče above Vipava joins from the left, and we continue right and quickly reach the point where we meet the asphalt road leading to Nanos. We reach the road right at a pronounced serpentine, where we begin to ascend along it with ever better views. To the next bend we continue along the road, then the blazes 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, and a little higher it crosses it once more. Ahead the path leads past a large chapel, which is visible from afar. A little above the chapel we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right uphill in the direction of Vojkova koča past Strmec (left hunting cottage Vojkovo, right downhill to Lozice).
Ahead the path becomes quite steep and much less trodden, but orientationally not particularly demanding. Higher the path brings us out of the forest and after the slope break it levels out completely. Here we continue straight along a barely noticeable trail, along which in 2 minutes of further walking we join the well-trodden and marked path from hunting cottage Vojkovo to Vojkova koča on Nanos.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it right (left to hunting cottage 10 minutes), and it leads us further across grassy slopes occasionally overgrown with bushes and individual pines. The easy and barely ascending path then briefly joins the road but leaves it after just a few steps. The path then moves somewhat further right from the road and begins to ascend moderately across the increasingly panoramic slopes of Nanos. Here an unmarked path joins from the right, which had branched off to the right a little lower down. Ahead the path becomes a little steeper and after a few minutes of further walking takes us to the church of St. Hieronimus, already visible from afar.
From the church we continue slightly right along the path, to which a little higher a level path from Razdrto joins from the right. We continue in the direction of Vojkova koča along the path which just a few steps further takes us to a less noticeable junction, where an unmarked path to Grmada branches off to the left.
We head onto the mentioned unmarked and somewhat less visible trail, which climbs more steeply and soon takes us to a forest road, which we merely cross. We continue the ascent along a relatively steep path ascending across an increasingly panoramic grassy slope. Higher the path levels out somewhat and turns right, where it gradually transitions onto an indistinct ridge, along which we then climb to the summit of Grmada in a few minutes of further walking.
