Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper, take the exit Razdrto and then continue along the old road towards Nova Gorica. After Razdrto, the road starts to descend more steeply, and we follow it to a junction where the road to Nanos branches off to the right. Take the road and then, after the first sharp right turn, park in a suitable space at the next smaller junction.
b) From the expressway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, take the exit Vipava, then continue on the old road to Razdrto, which we follow for only a few kilometres, then the signs for Nanos direct us to a sharp left onto the ascending road. We take the road and then, after the first sharp right turn, park in a suitable space at the next small junction.
Path description:
From the starting point, follow the side road, along which you will see signs for Nanos and a hunting lodge. Walk along the road for a few metres, then the signs direct you to the right on a marked footpath that begins to climb through the forest. A little higher up, cross an asphalt road, and when you reach it for the second time, continue along it via the expressway. On the other side of the expressway, which you cross just at the start of the tunnel, the road you are climbing gradually curves to the right. Follow the tarmac to the end of the next serpentine, then turn right onto the marked track which returns to the road higher up.
Once back on the road, follow it to the right (straight ahead on the footpath - past the troughs), and we walk along it for a while. Higher up, a path branches off to the right down towards the village of Lozice, and we continue just a little higher left on the footpath, which soon crosses the road we have just left. A few steps higher, we come to a wide cart track and follow it to the right. Follow Cart track at the crossroads in the route indicated by the signs, which turns into a wide footpath higher up. A few minutes of ascent follows and the path leads to a crossroads where the path from Lozice joins us.
Here we continue to the left in the direction of the hunting lodge, and the relatively wide path, in many bends, leads us over steeper and steeper slopes. The relatively steep path occasionally leads us over quite scenic slopes, from which we have a beautiful view towards the Vipava Brdo. Higher up, we come to a slightly more difficult part, where the otherwise wide path climbs crosswise over a short exposed slope (especially in snow and ice there is a risk of slipping). Above the exposed traverse you reach a marked crossroads where you continue straight on the wide path (down Podnanos and Vipava on the left, Vojkova koča past Strmec on the right). Continue climbing moderately along the wide path, which will take you to the Vojkovo hunting lodge in just over 10 minutes.
From the hunting lodge, continue to the nearby asphalt road and follow it to the right, to the nearby Vrat, after which you enter the south-western part of the plateau of nanos. On the other side of Vrat, the road starts to descend, but we follow it for only a short time, as the signs then direct us left onto a marked footpath that descends through a pine grove. After a short descent, we return to the road and follow it to the left. Follow the road to the next right-hand bend, at the end of which a waymarked path branches off to the left. Continue along cart track, which begins to climb gently, and we walk along it for only some 10 m. Then, on the right-hand side, we see the less visible beginning of a footpath which gradually begins to descend cross-wise towards Šembija bajta.
At the byte, return to the road and continue along it. A little higher up, we reach a triangular crossroads where the road to Vipava branches off to the left, and we continue slightly to the right, along a gradually slightly steeper road. The road, which continues through the forest, then rises by almost 150 metres and leads to a crossroads where we reach the marked path Abram - Vojkova koča. Here, continue left along the road, which begins to descend gently. After a few minutes, exit the woods and turn right at the crossroads towards the nearby hunting lodge.
From the hunting lodge, near which there is a large parking lot, continue along the road for a few metres, and then the signs for the Abram agritourism farm direct you left onto a narrower road, along which you can just walk to the nearby shelter.
