Lokavec - Veliki Modrasovec

Access to starting point:
We drive on the highway from Razdrto towards Nova Gorica or vice versa and go to the exit Ajdovščina. Then at the crossroad, we turn left in the direction of Nova Gorica and drive to the village Cesta, where a sign for Lokavec point us to the right. We follow this road to a larger parking lot at the church in the village Lokavec, where there are also signposts for Čaven.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road in the direction of Čaven. The road, that is gently ascending among houses soon brings us to the smaller crossroad near the small stream. Here we continue on the left road and left side of the stream, which at the end of the village brings us to a cart track on which we are then ascending. Further, we follow the cart track which slowly turns into a footpath. The path after a time crosses a rough forest road and soon after that, it brings us to the crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Čaven. The path then brings us to a well and then for few ten strides steeply ascends. The path ahead brings us on unvegetated slopes, from which a nice view opens up on Nanos, valley Vipavska dolina and surrounding hills. A little further, the path again crosses a rough forest road and is for a short time ascending parallel with it. Only a little further, we come on a wider road which we follow to the right, but only few steps, and then blazes point us left upwards. The path ahead starts ascending steeper and a little higher crosses a marked path (we cross the path Srednječavenska pot). Here we continue straight upwards on the path which is becoming very steep. A little further, the path which was most of the time running through the forest again crosses some panoramic slopes. A little further, the path brings us to a ridge, where we have two options to continue. Left runs little below the ridge and has less view than the one, that runs on the ridge, but is better in case of a strong wind. After 10 minutes both paths join and they bring us on grassy slopes east from Mala gora.
Here the steepness decreases and the path ahead continues on nice meadows, where in spring and summer time we notice a lot of the mountain flowers. A little further from the left joins the path from Stomaž. Here we continue straight on the path which in few minutes brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu.
Behind the mountain hut signs for Modrasovec and Golaki point us to the right on a meadow, through which we diagonally ascend in the forest. When we step into the forest, we quickly stride across the indistinct ridge of Mali Modrasovec (here the unmarked path on Mali Modrasovec branches off to the right 5 minutes), and we continue straight on a cart track which slightly descends and turns a little towards the right. Only a little further, we come to a marked crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Modrasovec (slightly right Golaki). We continue the ascent on a wider, but quite overgrown footpath which gradually passes on the right side of the ridge. And from the wide footpath or bad cart track, soon a marked footpath branches off to the left, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the summit of Veliki Modrasovec.
