Access to starting point:
From highway Nova Gorica - Razdrto we go to the exit Selo, and then we continue driving on the parallel old road towards Ajdovščina. At the end of the settlement Selo we turn left and through a bridge over the highway we drive to the nearby industrial area. Here we continue straight, and then we get to a crossroad in Gojače, where we again continue straight. Further, we drive past the cemetery, after which we continue slightly right, and then at the next crossroad, which is situated only a little further from the nearby church, again slightly right. The road then ascends a little steeper and past last houses in the village brings us to the hunting cottage LD Čaven (Gojače). We park on a macadam parking lot near the hunting cottage.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a cart track, by which we notice signs for Sveti Pavel, Kucelj and Čaven. Cart track, which goes immediately in the forest, starts moderately ascending and in 5 minutes of walking, it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the left joins the path from neighbouring village Malovše.
Here we continue right and on a nicely followable but unmarked cart track which continues through a thinner forest, we ascend to the next marked crossing. This time we continue on the left cart track (right Sveti Pavel and Vrtovin), by which there are signs for Kucelj and Sveti Pavel. Only few 10 meters higher we join a wider cart track and we follow it to the right (left Črniče). Further, we are approximately 10 minutes ascending on the mentioned cart track, and then we get to the next crossing, where signs for Kucelj point us to the right on a little narrower cart track, to which soon from the right joins the path, on which we would come, if we would a little lower continue in the direction of Sveti Pavel and Vrtovin. Ahead we for some time cross to the right, and then the path brings us to a bigger trough. From here we short time continue through a lane of bushes, and then the path brings us to the spot, where we continue right in the direction of Sveti Pavel (left Kucelj). The path ahead ascends through a lane of a forest and then it flattens and it brings us to the church of St. Pavel.
