Lokavec - Koča Antona Bavčerja na Čavnu

Access to the starting point:
Take the expressway from Razdrteg to Nova Gorica or vice versa and take the Ajdovščina exit. Then turn left at the crossroads in the route Nova Gorica and drive to the village of Cesta, where the sign for Lokavec directs you to the right. Follow this road to the large parking area by the church in the village Lokavec, where there are also signs for Čaven.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road towards Čavna. The road climbs gently between the houses and soon leads to a small crossroads near a small stream. Here we continue along the left-hand road and the left-hand side of the stream, which leads us at the end of the village to cart track, which we then climb. Continue along cart track, which slowly turns into a footpath. The path crosses a worse forest road after a while and shortly afterwards leads to a crossroads, where we continue straight in the direction of Čavna. The path then leads to a small spring and then climbs steeply for a few dozen steps. The way forward leads us to the unpaved slopes from which we have a beautiful view of the Nanos, Vipava valley and the surrounding hills. A little further on, the path again crosses a worse forest road and climbs parallel to it for a short time. Just a little further on we come to a wider road, which we follow to the right but only for a few steps, and then the markings direct us up to the left. The way ahead begins to climb steeply and crosses the marked path at a slightly higher level. Here we continue straight up the path, which is becoming very steep. A little further on, the path, which most of the time has been through the forest, crosses again some scenic slopes. A little further on, the path leads us to a ridge where we have two options for continuing. The left one runs just below the ridge and is less scenic than the one along the ridge, but is more forgiving in the event of a strong storm. After 10 minutes, the two paths merge and lead to the uncultivated grassy slopes to the east of Mala Gora.
Here the steepness eases and the route continues through beautiful meadows where, in spring and summer, many mountain flowers are seen. A little further on, the path from Stomaž joins us from the left. Here we continue straight along the path, which leads us in a few minutes to the hut at Čavno.
