From central Slovenia we drive to Logatec and forward towards Idrija but only to Godovič. Here we turn left in the direction of Črni vrh. We follow this road ahead towards Predmeja. Behind the village Predmeja we go right in the direction of village Lokve. Then we drive on the forest road to a sharp right turn, where the road on Čaven branches off to the left. Here we park on an appropriate place. Near is few smaller parking spots.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a road towards Čaven. The road which runs through the forest is slightly ascending and after approximately 15 minutes brings us to a crossroad, where we go to the left bottom road. Only few minutes before the mountain hut on the left side of the road nice views open up towards Primorska. After that follows only a shorter descent and in front of us, we notice the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu.
Behind the mountain hut, the signpost for Modrasovec points us right on a footpath which is ascending through a meadow. After few minutes, the path brings us into the forest and we follow it through the forest at first upwards and then for some time almost horizontal. And already after few minutes we are at the crossing, where we go on the left upper path. Here, the path starts ascending a little steeper and eventually it brings us on the upper forested ridge which we follow to the peak. The caption "vrh" (peak) on the old military building tells us, that we are at the destination. For a view, we have to ascend also on the top of this building. Easier access to the summit is on the left side through bushes.
