Nanos – Suhi vrh, 1313 m
Nanos is a mighty karst plateau between the Postojna Basin and the Vipava Valley. Its silhouette is the most recognisable accompaniment to the route to the Adriatic Sea. The highest peak of the plateau is the 1313m high Suhi vrh.
On the way to the top, you can observe a mix of Alpine and Mediterranean flora, and from the summit you can enjoy views of the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Several hiking trails of varying difficulty lead to Suhi vrh, and cycling is also possible on the gravel road.
Access recommendations:
- The most common starting point is Razdrto (car park by the motorway); the marked moderately difficult route (2–3 hours) is also suitable for families with older children
- Podnanos is the starting point of a longer and more varied mountain trail; it is also the starting point of the demanding mountain-bike trail to Suhi vrh
Use appropriate equipment and mountain maps for mountain trails! You can also take a guided tour.
