Podnanos - Sveti Hieronim (Pod zatrepom)

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

Path description:
Near the information board about Nanos we notice the first signs for Abram, hunting cottage and Vojkova koča, which direct us onto the road that continues beside the nearby school playground. Behind the playground 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 immediately behind it to the right, where we walk directly beside the water for a short time. A little further ahead we join an asphalt road, which takes us to a smaller junction, where we continue right, then a little further we also cross the Močilnik stream. The road continues past the Furlan wine cellar, behind which the settlement slowly ends. At the end of the settlement we arrive at a junction, where we continue right in the direction of "running" and the intervention access to the expressway over Rebrnice. We continue along the asphalt road, which a few tens of meters further brings 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). A little further a path along the running route branches off to the right, but we continue along the asphalt road, along which we climb above the expressway. On the other side of the expressway, which we cross at the edge of the tunnel entrance, the asphalt ends, the road turns left and brings 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 flattens and brings 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 only a few steps, then the blazes direct us left onto a somewhat steeper path again. We then ascend for a few minutes along the path somewhat eroded by water, then arrive at a well-marked junction, where we continue straight (left Abram over Konj) in the direction of Vojkova koča on Nanos. The path ahead ascends gently to the right for some time, then brings us to a cart track, along which we climb to the nearby macadam road. When we step onto the road the path from Gradišče nad Vipavo joins from the left, and we continue right and quickly walk to the spot where we reach the asphalt road leading to Nanos. We reach the road right at a pronounced serpentine, where we begin to ascend amid ever finer views. Until 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 somewhat higher crosses it once more. The path ahead leads past a large chapel, which is visible from afar. Somewhat above the chapel we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right upward in the direction of Vojkova koča past Strmec (left hunting cottage Vojkovo, right downward Lozice).
The path ahead becomes quite steep and substantially less trodden, but orientationally not particularly demanding. Higher the path brings us out of the forest and completely flattens after the slope break. Here we continue straight along a barely noticeable path, along which in 2 minutes of further walking we join the well-trodden and marked path hunting cottage Vojkovo - Vojkova koča on Nanos.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the right (left hunting cottage 10 minutes), and it leads us further across grassy slopes occasionally overgrown with bushes and individual pines. The easy and hardly ascending path then joins the road for a short time but leaves it after just a few steps. The path then draws somewhat further right from the road and begins moderately ascending across the increasingly panoramic slopes of Nanos. Here an unmarked path joins us from the right, which branched off to the right somewhat lower. The path ahead becomes just a little steeper and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the little church of St. Hieronimus already visible from afar.
