Podnanos - Vojkova koča na Nanosu (Pod zatrepom)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto, we drive on the highway or motorway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and head to the Vipava exit. When we leave the highway, we arrive at an 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 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 Vojkova koča, which direct us onto the road that continues by the nearby school sports field. After the sports field, we arrive at a smaller crossroads, where the signs for Nanos direct us right, but we continue straight on the road, which turns left and ends at the nearby house. We continue over a smaller bridge and then immediately after it to the right, where for a short time we walk directly next to the water. A little further ahead, we join an asphalt road, which brings us to a smaller crossroads, where we continue right, then a little further we also cross the Močilnik stream. The road further leads past the Furlan wine cellar, behind which the settlement slowly ends. At the end of the settlement, we arrive at a crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of "run" and the intervention access to the highway over Rebrnice. We continue further on the asphalt road, which a few tens of meters ahead brings us to the next crossroads, 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 route branches off to the right, but we continue on the asphalt road, on which we ascend 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 brings us to a smaller crossroads, where we continue sharply right. From the macadam road, just 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 na Nanosu.
We continue in the mentioned direction (further along the sv. Miklavž road) and initially walk on 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 on a somewhat overgrown path. The path soon flattens and brings us to a cart track, on 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, as the blazes then direct us left onto a somewhat steeper footpath again. Further on, we ascend for a few minutes on a path somewhat eroded by water, then we arrive at a well-marked junction, where we continue straight (left to Abram over Konj) in the direction of Vojkova koča na Nanosu. The path ahead gently ascends towards the right for some time, then brings us to a cart track, on which we ascend 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 place where we reach the asphalt road leading to Nanos. We reach the road right at a distinct serpentine, where we begin ascending along it with increasingly beautiful views. To the next bend, we continue on the road, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath, on 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 it 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 upwards in the direction of Vojkova koča past Strmec (left hunting cottage Vojkovo, right downwards Lozice).
The path ahead becomes quite steep and substantially less trodden, but not particularly demanding orientationally. Higher up, the path brings us out of the forest and completely flattens after the slope break. Here we continue straight on a barely noticeable footpath, on which after 2 minutes of further walking we join the well-trodden and marked path from hunting cottage Vojkovo to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
When we reach the mentioned path, we follow it right (left to hunting cottage 10 minutes), and it leads us further across grassy slopes that are 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 branched off to the right somewhat lower. The path ahead becomes slightly steeper and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the church of sv. Hieronima, visible from afar.
From the church, we continue slightly right on the path, to which a little higher a gentle path from Razdrto joins from the right. We continue in the direction of Vojkova koča on the path, which just a few steps further brings us to a less noticeable junction, where an unmarked path to Grmada branches off left. We continue slightly right on the marked path, which ahead ascends parallel to the road for quite some time. The path ahead moves somewhat further right from the road and passes onto the panoramic northwestern edge of Nanos. Here, the so-called Janezova pot joins almost unnoticeably from the right, and we continue straight on a wide footpath that leads towards the transmitters on Nanos. Just a little before the transmitters, the path turns left, descends into a strip of forest and then past the monument of Janko Premrl Vojko brings us to Vojkova koča na Nanosu.
