Hiking

Nanos is a high karst plateau in a mountain barrier that separates the continental part of Slovenia from the Littoral. It is a 12 km long and up to 6 km wide karst plateau with a steeply cut edge called Pleša. Next to Snežnik is the most typical mountain in the Notranjska region.

The forested plateau is visited by mountaineers and paragliders. The deposit is crossed by the Slovenian Mountain Transversal and the Slovenian Geological Trail. There is a television converter at the Pleša lookout point (1262 m), and Vojkova koča is nearby.

The summit of Pleša is the most popular objective on the great Nanos plateau. It’s served by the neighbouring Vojkova koča hut, named after the Slovene Partisan hero Janko Premrl, also known as Vojko, who led the fight against the Italians on the plateau during the Second World War. The views from Pleša's 4,308-foot (1,313 m) summit are superb, both along the plateau, across Slovenia and out to the Gulf of Trieste.

Hiking

There are two paths leading to Pleša from the car park on the motorway, making it ideal for a circular tour. The steep climb definitely requires surefootedness and a head for heights, but it is doable and worthwhile. The flatter descent should not be underestimated either, as some scrambling is necessary in places.

Both paths are well marked.
