Nanos is a karstic plateau over 1.000 m high northern from Vipava valley, with basic ride in direction east-west. The major summit “Plesa” is on east edge of plateau, with quite steep slope to the village Razdrto, from where is also a most common path to the summit.

Nanos is part of high karstic plateaus of Slovenia, in mountain group: Trnovski gozd Group.

The ridge is partly covered with woods, major beech tree, but You can find also a pine tree. Also the flowers on the ridge are some kind of richness on the plateau, but the visitors are asked only to see this flower, not to take away: the flowers are most beautiful in domestic’s surroundings.
