Podkraj - Vojkova koča na Nanosu

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Koper, take the exit Logatec and follow the road to Logatec. From the roundabout, where you reach the old road, continue in the direction of Idrija and Tolmin. Continue along the main road towards Idrija, and at the end of Kalce turn left in the direction of Podkraj and Cola (the crossroads is located only a few 10 m further from the junction where the road to Planina and Postojna branches off to the left). From Kalce onwards, the road becomes quite winding, and we follow it to Podkraj. Here we turn left towards the centre of the village and then after a short descent sharp left towards Nanos. When the village ends, we arrive in the forest and park in a suitable place along the road.
b) From the expressway Nova Gorica - Razdrto, take the Ajdovščina exit, then follow the road towards Colo and Idrija. At the beginning of Colo, turn right in the direction of Podkraj and Logatec, and follow the road to Podkraj. Here, turn right towards the centre of the town and continue past the church to a crossroads, where you continue straight on towards Nanos. When the village ends, we arrive in the forest and park in a suitable place along the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the macadam road, which is joined after a few minutes by a marked path from the centre of Podkraj. Continue along the road, which leads us past a small sign, in a slight downhill, to the first crossroads, where we continue straight in the direction of Nanos (right Bela and Sanabor. From the crossroads onwards the road goes into a dense forest and passes from the hillside to the plateau world of Nanos. In the forest you soon reach another crossroads, where you take a sharp right (left Bukovje). The road then continues for some time, with some ups and downs, to a crossroads below the 905 m high Soline peak.
Here, continue straight on in the direction of Abram (left Trška ravan, right Sanabor) and follow the macadam road, which gradually changes to predominantly western slopes. When the road rises slightly, it leads to a small hamlet (Blažon), from where a view opens up towards the sea and, with good visibility, the Dolomites. From the hamlet, which you pass on the right, the road gradually descends and leads into the forest, through which you descend to a slightly larger crossroads. Here, continue left towards Abram (Vipava on the right) and follow the gently ascending road through the increasingly sparse forest to Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu, which is reached after a further 20 minutes' walk.
From Furlanovo zavetišče pri Abramu, which you pass on the left, continue along the road, which after only 10 steps leads you to the hunting lodge, in front of which there is a large parking lot.
From the parking lot, continue along the road in the direction of Vojkova hut and Podnanos. The winding road quickly leads to a small hamlet, where you continue along the road on the upper left. The road continues along the edge of the forest, from where a beautiful view of the Dolomites opens up. Just a little further on, the road passes into a dense forest and leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue straight ahead. Walk through the woods for a few minutes, and then the road leads you to more and more scenic slopes. Here you will notice the signs for Vojko's Cottage, which direct you to the left on a marked, but in parts slightly overgrown, footpath. After an initial climb, the path quickly lays down and leads us onto a plateau-like world. A little further on, we cross a short lane of scrub, and then the path continues for some time across vast and partly overgrown karst meadows. There is a short climb and the path leads to the next road, which you follow down to the right. After a short descent, we leave the road again and continue our ascent to the left, to the marked cart track, which we start to climb, first relatively steeply and then gently. The path continues along the edge of the undistinguished Ječmenovec valley, and at a higher altitude passes into the forest, through which it climbs to an uncultivated saddle, north-west of Laniška Peak (1236 m). From the saddle, there is a descent to the nearby road leading to Vojka's hut, but we just cross it and continue along the marked mountain trail. The trail soon turns slightly to the left and returns to the above-mentioned road higher up. The moderately steep path, from which we occasionally get some views, then alternately continues through the forest and partly along the macadam road. This path is then followed all the way to Vojka's hut on Nanos.
