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 steeply and we follow it to a junction where the road to Lozice, closed to public traffic, branches off to the left and the road to the former construction site of the expressway branches off to the right (this junction is located near the 7 km road marker and there are also signs for Nanos at the junction). As you are not allowed to turn left or right at this junction, it is better to leave your car a few 100 m further up the road, in one of the several car parks along the road.
b) From the expressway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, take the exit Vipava and then continue along the old road towards Razdrtem. From this junction, follow the main road for only 2 km and then you will reach a junction where the road to Lozice, closed to public traffic, turns sharp right and steeply downhill, and to the left is the road to the former construction site of the expressway (this junction is located near the 7 km marker, and there are also signs for Nanos at the junction). As you are not allowed to turn left or right at this junction, it is better to leave your car a few 100 m down the road, in one of the several car parks along the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, first walk to the junction mentioned in the description up to the starting point, and from there continue along the ascending road, along which there are also signs for Nanos. The road climbs steeply at first, but then transiently lays down and leads under the viaducts of the nearby expressway. A few 10 m further on, you arrive at an unmarked crossroads, where you take a sharp right onto a road that is quite close to the expressway.
When you see the transmitters on the right (you won't be able to see them in the fog), you will see the signs for Nanos on the left side of the road, which will direct you to the left. Continue climbing through lane of bushes to a nearby meadow, where the path quickly leads to a nearby "spring". Above the spring, the path turns left into a low forest, through which it begins to climb, first gently and then moderately. Higher up, we reach a slightly wider path, which we immediately leave, as the markings direct us to the left on a gradually steeper path. Some 10 m higher, another cart track is crossed, and the path, which gradually turns to the left, becomes slightly steeper. There is a cross-climb to the left and the path leads to the "Lozica resting place", where the path from Podnanos (starting point Hrašče) joins from the left.
Here we continue to the right in the direction of the hunting lodge, and the relatively wide path, in numerous detours, leads us over steeper and steeper slopes. The relatively steep path occasionally leads us over quite scenic slopes, from which we have a nice 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.
