Predmeja - Mali Modrasovec

Access to starting point:
From the highway Razdrto - Nova Gorica we take the exit Ajdovščina and follow the road ahead towards the village Lokavec (to Lokavec we come from the center of Ajdovščina, or from the old road Ajdovščina - Nova Gorica, where at the settlement Cesta we turn right). From Lokavec we continue driving on the ascending winding road in the direction of Predmeja. We follow the mentioned road to the crossroad, where the road branches off to the right towards Col. We park on the parking lot right next to the crossroad.
To the starting point we can also come from Godovič, over Črni vrh and Col to Predmeja. In this case, we drive to the crossroad, where just after the sign end of Predmeja the road branches off left downhill towards Ajdovščina. We park on the parking lot right next to the crossroad.

Route description:
From the parking lot by the crossroad, we go on the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu. The path first ascends past the memorial plaque to Jožef Ressel, then passes into the forest, where it starts first moderately, then steeply ascending. Higher, the path brings us to a smaller vantage point (view on Predmeja) by which we notice a bench and a thermometer.
At the bench we also join a wide cart track, which a little higher turns into a footpath which soon again starts ascending steeply. A relatively steep path, by which we notice numerous bigger cairns, brings us higher to a macadam road which we follow to the left. We continue the ascent on the mentioned road, which for a short time gets asphalt covering. Higher, the road flattens and brings us out of the forest onto panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on Golaki, Nanos and Vipava valley, later also on the Adriatic Sea. We follow this road, which slowly turns towards the right and which in the last part even descends a little, all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu.
Behind the mountain hut signs for Modrasovec and Golaki direct us to the right onto a meadow, across which we ascend transversely into the forest. When we step into the forest, we quickly step onto an indistinct ridge of Mali Modrasovec. Here on the right side we will notice a poorly beaten unmarked footpath, along which in 5 minutes of further walking we ascend to the summit of Mali Modrasovec.
Predmeja - Koča na Čavnu 1:15, Koča na Čavnu - Mali Modrasovec 10 minutes.
