Gradišče - Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu (Furlan way)

Access to the starting point:
From Razdrto take the expressway to Nova Gorica or vice versa and take the Vipava exit. Follow the road onwards, towards Vipava and Gradišče. In the village of Gradišče, you will see the first mountain signs, which you follow to a large parking lot above the village of Gradišče.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the road towards Gradiška Tura and Abram. Initially a wide and gently sloping path, it quickly leads us to the first crossroads, where we continue straight on (to the right St Nicholas). After a few more steps, the path leads us to a scree slope, over which we climb crosswise, on a scrub-covered slope. The path continues to climb steeper and steeper and soon leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue to the left, following the signs 'very difficult protected path'. Already at the beginning of the very difficult route, we climb almost vertically up a rocky slope secured with pegs and a rope. The path then becomes less difficult for a few steps, turns slightly to the left and then climbs steeply upwards again along the right-hand steel cable. Continue climbing along the glacis for some time and soon you will reach a viewing platform a few steps off the path to the left. There is also a small bench by the platform, which offers a nice view of the Vipava valley.
From the platform, continue right up the sheltered path to an exposed, narrow ridge, which is well protected by a rope. The path becomes progressively less difficult and soon we reach a crossroads where a less difficult path joins from the right.
Continue along the path, which occasionally climbs quite steeply. Just below the top, you will see an interesting verse on a rock, which you follow for a few steps to the top.
From Gradiška Tura continue along the marked path towards Jez. The path then descends into the forest, where, apart from a few initial steps, it descends. After a few minutes of descending, we reach a crossroads, where we continue straight towards Abram (Vipava on the left). The way forward leads us through a pleasant meadow, surrounded by a sparse forest. After the meadow, we enter the road, where we continue to the right, again in the direction of Abram. Walk along the road for a short distance to the first crossroads, where you turn sharp left to a house on your left. Leave the minor road here and continue right up the marked path, which after a few steps leads to cart track, which you follow to the right. The further path, however, with some short ascents and descents, leads us to the next forest road, which we just cross. A moderate climb follows, first across a meadow and then through the forest to Furlan's shelter at Abram.
