Gradišče - Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu (Furlan way)

Access to starting point:
From Razdrto we drive on the highway towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and take the Vipava exit. We follow the road ahead towards Vipava and Gradišče. In the village Gradišče we notice the first mountain signposts, which we follow to a larger parking lot above the village Gradišče.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the path in the direction of Gradiška Tura and Abram. Initially a wide and gentle path quickly brings us to the first junction, where we continue straight (right St. Miklavž). After a few more steps of walking, the path brings us to a scree field, across which we ascend diagonally to the bush-covered slopes. The path ahead becomes steeper and steeper and soon brings us to the next junction, where we continue left following the signs »very demanding secured path«. Already at the beginning of the very demanding path we ascend almost vertically up the rocky slope secured with pegs and a steel cable. The path then becomes less demanding for a few steps, turns slightly to the left and then steeply ascends again along the steel cable to the right upward. We ascend along the steel cable for some time and soon reach a panoramic platform, which is a few steps from the path to the left side. At the platform, from where there is a nice view of the Vipava valley, there is also a small bench.
From the platform we continue right upward and the secured path brings us to an exposed narrow ridge, which is well secured with a steel cable. The path in continuation gradually becomes less demanding and soon we reach a junction, where a less demanding path joins us from the right.
Ahead we continue on the path, which occasionally still ascends quite steeply. A little below the summit on a rock we notice an interesting verse, behind which after a few steps we step onto the summit.
From Gradiška Tura we continue on the marked path in the direction of Jež. The path then goes into the forest, where except for a few initial steps it descends. After a few minutes of gentle descent we reach a junction, where we continue straight towards Abram (left Vipava). The path ahead leads us across a pleasant meadow surrounded by sparse forest. Behind the meadow we step onto the road, where we continue right, again in the direction towards Abram. Along the road we walk only a short time to the first crossroads, where we continue sharply left to the house we notice on the left side. Here we leave the worse road and continue right upward on the marked path, which after a few steps brings us to a cart track that we follow to the right. The further path then brings us with some shorter ascents and descents to the next forest road, which we only cross. A moderate ascent follows, first across the meadow, then through the forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu.
