Strane - Suhi vrh (Nanos) (gentle path)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Koper motorway we turn at the Razdrto exit and continue along the parallel old road towards Postojna. Soon we notice signs directing us left towards the villages of Veliko Ubeljsko and Strane. In the village of Malo Ubeljsko we reach the next intersection, where we continue slightly right towards Strane (left Veliko Ubeljsko). We follow the road, which rises a little more, to the center of Strane, where we see mountain direction signs. We park a few meters away near the children's playground (do not park on the playground).

Route description:
In Strane the signs for Nanos direct us onto the road that climbs past a few houses. The asphalt ends quickly and a little higher the path turns into a wide cart track that we continue on. Further on the track enters dense forest where at the area called Pri stajah a path from Veliko Ubeljsko joins from the left.
We continue straight and pass a spring, climbing moderately to the junction below the church of St. Bric. Here we turn right (left Suhi vrh and Vojkova koča on Nanos) and walk two minutes to the mentioned church.
From there we return to the nearby junction and continue the ascent towards Nanos. The path then climbs transversely on a somewhat narrower cart track over increasingly steep slopes. While walking on the otherwise easy path occasional views open through tree crowns and over nearby rock faces. Higher up we reach a junction where a marked path branches right towards the highest peak of Nanos – Suhi vrh.
We take this path (straight Vojkova koča) which turns right and levels completely. Higher the trail crosses a forest road then continues with moderate ascent through the forest. A little further we step onto gravel again and follow it to the right. The relatively gentle road brings us after a few dozen steps to the hunting lodge.
We continue on the road from which a steep path soon branches right. We go straight to the crossing where we turn right towards Suhi vrh. The road begins to descend a little further on then we notice a marked footpath that turns sharply right from the road. We take it and after a few minutes of somewhat steeper ascent reach Suhi vrh.
