Access to starting point:
A) From the Razdrto - Nova Gorica highway we take the Ajdovščina exit, then at the intersection we turn left in the direction of Nova Gorica. Further, we drive on the regional road towards Nova Gorica to the village Potoče, where we turn right in the direction of the village Kamnje. The road then soon brings us to the mentioned village, where we drive past the church and over a bridge to an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of Kucelj, Čaven and Mala gora. Just a little further ahead at the signs for Kucelj and Čaven we leave the asphalt road and park on a smaller parking lot by the road.
B) From the Nova Gorica - Razdrto highway we take the Selo exit, then, when we drive onto the old Nova Gorica - Ajdovščina road, we continue right towards Nova Gorica. On the regional road towards Ajdovščina we drive to the village Potoče, where we turn left in the direction of the village Kamnje. The road then soon brings us to the mentioned village, where we drive past the church and over a bridge to an intersection, where we continue left in the direction of Kucelj, Čaven and Mala gora. Just a little further ahead at the signs for Kucelj and Čaven we leave the asphalt road and park on a smaller parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which slowly changes into a cart track. After approximately half an hour of walking, we leave the cart track, because the blazes for Čaven direct us to the right onto a footpath. We continue on the path that gently ascends through the forest. The well-marked path then brings us a little higher to the resting place Šija (bench and table). The path ahead gradually starts to ascend more and more steeply and brings us higher to a nice viewpoint named Kopice.
Further, we ascend through the forest for some time, then pass to the unvegetated slopes of Mala gora, where the steepness also eases. After a few more steps, we reach the mountain hut on Mala gora, from which we continue straight in the direction of Kucelj and Čaven. A few steps further, a cart track joins from the left, coming from the hunting hut. Further, we continue on the cart track, from which a path soon branches off to the right to the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu.
Here we continue straight ahead on the cart track, which brings us to the path from the mountain hut Koča na Čavnu towards Kucelj. Here we continue left on the path, which first runs almost horizontally, then starts to ascend. This path soon brings us out of the forest, where we already see Kucelj ahead of us. Only 10 more minutes of ascent follow on the panoramic upper slope of the mountain.
