The Gorski tek na Nanos (‘Nanos Mountain Race’) is a small mountain running event with just about 50 finishers, held annually in October in the Karst region between Slovenia's capital Ljubljana and the Adriatic Sea port of Trieste in Italy.
Starting in the village of Podnanos in the fruit- and wine-growing Vipava Valley, the route is 5.24 kilometres long and very demanding.
It includes 640 metres of ascent, mostly on steep forest trails.
The finishing line is at an elevation of 820 metres at the Eko koča Nanos (Eco Cottage Nanos) which stands on a clearing in the forest on the massive Nanos Karst Plateau.
After the race, you can enjoy splendid views from a nearby vantage point, and it's also worth to go for a walk across the beautiful grassland on the plateau.
