Polomova rajda - Veliki Modrasovec (via Koča na Čavnu)

Access to starting point:
a) We drive to Col, then follow the road in the direction of Otlice and Predmeja. This is followed by driving across the Gora plateau, where the road leads us through several villages; when at Predmeja we join the road from Ajdovščina, we go right in the direction of the settlement Lokve. The road ahead leads us through a small valley, where first to the right branches off one of the marked paths towards Golakov, a little further the road turns left and from the small valley passes to the slope. When higher the road turns right, we head left onto the side road along which there are signs for Čaven. We park a little further at a suitable place by the road.
b) We drive to Ajdovščina, then follow the signs for Lokavec and Predmeja. This is followed by a fairly steep ascent along the road to Predmeja, where we continue straight in the direction of the settlement Lokve. The road ahead leads us through a small valley, where first to the right branches off one of the marked paths towards Golakov, a little further the road turns left and from the small valley passes to the slope. When higher the road turns right, we head left onto the side road along which there are signs for Čaven. We park a little further at a suitable place by the road. There are a few smaller parking spots nearby.

Route description:
We start the path along the forest road towards Čavn and ascend gently to moderately along it towards the left, accompanied by individual Knafelc markers along the way. Later, at a small junction, we continue along the left lower road along which there are signs for Čaven, then past the NOB monument we arrive at the marked junction where we join the marked path from Predmeja. The path ahead still leads along the forest road, which becomes asphalt on a shorter section; when the forest on the left ends, a nice view opens from the viewpoint to the surroundings, where Nanos and part of the Vipava Valley are clearly visible.
After the viewpoint we continue straight (right one of the paths to Veliki Modrasovec) and in a few minutes of further walking arrive at the Koča Antona Bavčerja na Čavnu.
Behind the hut, the signs for Veliki Modrasovec, Mali Golak and Koča pod Golaki direct us right onto the path which ascends transversely across the meadow, then passes into the forest where it levels out. We walk through the forest for a short time and already arrive at the junction where the inscription on the rock for Golake points straight.
We continue straight (right unmarked path to Mali Modrasovec, 5 minutes) along the gentle path which a little further brings us to the indistinct saddle between the two Modrasovci, where the path forks once more.
We continue along the slightly left path along which there are signs for Veliki Modrasovec (slightly right Golaki, path which leads below the summit of Veliki Modrasovec). This is followed by a somewhat steeper ascent where we mainly ascend along the forested southern ridge of Veliki Modrasovec. We follow this path to the summit, where atop the old building there are some benches and a table.
