Today we climbed up to Čaven from Lokavec and from there further to Modrasovec. In places a quite steep path, otherwise a beautiful path. I'm wondering if anyone knows what that concrete building on top of Modrasovec was for?

This is an old military building, more they know in the hut at Čaven.

Yesterday we headed to Koča Antona Bavčarja (from Lokavec). The path was dry and without new obstacles. We continued to Veliki Modrasovec. On top there was 10 cm of snow, or on windblown areas up to 25 cm. The path is passable, caution is always needed when heading to the mountains, as nature has its own life pulse.

We jumped on it again and found no ice damage here. Before the hut base two shots were heard and apparently hunters shot at six mouflons who skillfully evaded them, so hunters left with red noses.
Finally praise to the path markers who newly marked the path with an interesting height difference idea.

This bitch always barks at us on the way up!

Those boards are "remains" of the Vertical kilometer race which this summer ran from Lokavec to Čaven mežikanje

Nec, those are not remains. But VERTICAL signs on Čaven. If there were no more races I would personally ensure the signs are removed, but since there will be a race on Čaven in 2015 on 24 May for the Slovenian Cup we left the signs as they will serve as markers for runners who come ahead to test the course too. And they are useful for some hikers as we saw velik nasmeh

Kokta, did you see a stamp on Modrasovec maybe? As I see - snow just a sample?

Kokta22. 01. 2015 17:41:14

I didn't notice it. But I know they had it a couple of years ago in the hut. There's a little snow before and on top of Modrasovec, otherwise it's bare.

Yesterday I went from Lokavec to Modrasovec. Those signs for the vertical kilometer were great for me, because it was my first time on this path and at least you can roughly imagine how you're progressing. It was quite steep and long for me and it's much easier if you break the path into pieces... But the path to the hut is exceptionally beautiful, worth every step. The top of Modrasovec was completely uninteresting to me, at least a cross or stone standing there nasmeh

) And near the top there's still some small snow, but really - for 8 steps on snow nasmeh

In five hours I didn't meet anyone!!!
The stamp is at the hut, even though it was closed, also the logbook. There's nothing on the top at all... Not even on Mali Modrasovec...

On Saturday we were guests at the Medvode PD, more than 20 gathered. In windy weather and wonderful winter idyll we visited Veliki Modrasovec. We went from Predmeja on the marked path, SPP. We were on Čaven several times, but always skipped Modrasovec. There was quite a lot of snow, 30-40 cm on top, some views towards Krn. It was a real winter idyll. We stopped at the hut on Čaven, the keeper friendly, has a great dog. The ascent was easy, a bit more demanding for the first ones making the track. We descended to Lokavec, total over 1,100m descent. In the first part lots of snow, on parts we used spikes. Then less snow, but more slippery. All the time cloudy, strong wind. But when we reached Lokavec, it cleared up and a nice view towards Sinji vrh opened. Wonderful winter tour...
