On Saturday, 31.10.09 afternoon I lost / forgot Canon Ixus 850 IS camera at the parking lot below Čaven (on the road 2 km from Predmeja towards Lokavec). Honest finder please call me at 041321791. Thanks! Tomaž

On Thursday planning ascent to Lokavec on Čaven and continuation to Mali Golak. Saw there's already quite some snow, what (technical) gear do you recommend? Thanks!

viharnik10. 11. 2009 18:13:23

Definitely smart to take gaiters, poles, impregnate boots well. Also take breathable softshell, shirt to change, some apple, muesli bar, drink, light, first aid, compass-fog and more would be found.

Thanks, mainly interested in winter gear like e.g. gaiters nasmeh

Nice thanks!

If weather continues like today, won't remain much snow in that area, I think.. zmeden

......you'll know to tell cool

With friend went Sunday from Predmeja to Golak, down past hut and from back to Čaven. Although had gaiters, didn't need them cuz really trodden. Well anyway gaiters light. From hut to hut probably whole path dry already. Take what viharnik wrote, good luck.

Pleasantly tired, arrived home after a seven-hour circular tour. Lokavec-Koča A.Bavčerja on Čavnu-via traverse to Iztok hut below Golaki-Mali Golak-Predmeja-Lokavec. Great sunny sunrise at seven below Čavnu, possibility of Trnovski forest in fully dry (green-red) conditions, from Iztok hut to Mali Golak winter idyll, path fully trodden, so simply enjoyable! Snow on descent to Predmeja still somewhat below the sign of the protected Golakov park. Lots of pleasures and good luck!

Today up there it was super weather - sun and burja, visibility medium.

From Predmeja the path is trodden and at the start a bit frozen, so caution and maybe some four-point crampons are not superfluous. Road from Predmeja untouched (snowy, no tracks). Snow hard and holds well. Towards top about 20-30cm.

View towards the V part of Trnovski gozd

Today with family done tour from Predmeja to Čaven and back. Path as Jaša wrote, morning slightly frozen but few cm new snow on path so not too annoying. Friendly keepers in hut, bit basking in warm sun, meanwhile path slight thaw so descent even better. Along path visible track of tourer who likely used last days for descent from Čaven. LP Andrej

Today I was on Čavnu, namely from Lokavec. Tour nice and interesting but for today's conditions dangerous for slipping. After rain it was muddy and in the initial part of the first half hour you literally walk in mud. Then better. No views today because of fog. Something was visible lower down. For descent need to be very careful about slipping. Dangerous to fall on stone.
This route is more recommended in dry. But worth time and effort. You overcome 1075 m height difference so some fitness is needed.

We had to take advantage of the afternoon patch of clearness amid the grayness. This time from Stomaž towards Čaven. From the parking lot by the cemetery a well-marked path leads. It rises through a nice forest, crosses forest road twice, clearing with hunting observation post and splits on the flat terrain of Mala gora into several directions. From there to the hut on Čavnu still good 20 minutes. The view was beautiful, reached all the way to the sea and to Karst from where a thunderstorm was quickly approaching. It threatened also from the east. So no stop. On the way down the sky was already starting to darken, but the forest intercepted the main force.

This weekend I went to Čaven, started from the tunnels and went along the Srednječavenska path. It leads to the bivouac at Črna peč. From there I went back to the junction (left Stomaž) and right up to Mala gora. After a bit tiring ascent I reach a nice clearing from where to the hut just a few minutes. Of course it was closed.

From there through the forest to Kucelj. From the main path I turned through the forest and when I came out to the exposed clearing I felt real Primorska burja. Good I had an extra anorak with me. On the top quite some people, all sheltered on the other side. On the top the burja was felt quite strongly.

From there back to the main path and along it to the Koča na Čavnu hut. There ate ričet and drank tea then on the way also jumped to Modrasovec and back then along the path to Lokavec and back along Srednječavenska path to the car.

Today a quick trip to Vipava bora. Start a bit before the tunnels on the road to Predmeja. The path is overall nice
, well marked and nice views. At some places very strong bora was blowing. No snow, except small patches. Anyway nice tour. Nice regards. Janez

Some snapshots from wandering around Čaven. We ascended via Srednječavenska path over Mala gora, descended directly back to tunnels along the steep path to Lokavec, from which at the end we turned again to Srednječavenska path. Beautiful!

Yesterday we went with friends to Čaven, starting from Lokavec. Super nice and pleasant, but also long path, which we extended over the hut on Mali gora and to Kuclj, on the way back past the hut on Čavnu and back to the valley (Lokavec). The path is easy, very scenic at some places, but needs some fitness for the tour, as it takes about 5 hours.

P.s.: on the path under the hut on Mali gora we found a dark blue tracksuit (or its upper part). If someone misses it... the shirt we left with the caretakers at Anton Bavčer hut on Čavnu.

Regards.

Today we went to the hut on Čavnu from Stomaž. Nice trip for a warm, sunny winter day. The path pleasant, mostly dry, snow only a sample right below the hut.

At the start along the gravel road through the forest

we also had to conquer the high peaks along the path :)

a little longer and it will get dark, lights are already turning on in the valley

1h 26 min.??? 1080m ascent? 753m/h. Crazy! eek

lozarbogdan8. 02. 2012 16:15:33

Today winter hike to Čaven. Snow for joy, otherwise strong bora blowing. Entered the log and nice service, and we warmed up so we hugged a bit with girlfriends and friends from Hribi.net! I'll show it also in pictures and Starakapa is no family album, at most friendly!

Warming up with Snežinkica and Zvončnica!

Yesterday from the quarry we headed on a circular path to Čavna.
The path took us mostly through forest, crossed some sandy slopes and reached bivouac Črna peč, there short break, ate Martin's chocolates... jezik

Marched on towards Kuclja, ups, how many km/h was blowing on the top? eek

, don't know exactly, but know we crawled on all fours to the top and the same down zadrega

After battle with wind soon reached hut on Čavnu and strengthened there, enjoyed good and fun company nasmeh

After a good hour headed to valley, along the edge to Mala gora, there short break at hut, photo for memory and down.
As befits such excellent large company, headed also for small refreshment at farm tourism, greetings to all velik nasmeh
