Predmeja (tunnels) - Veliki Modrasovec

Access to starting point:
From the Razdrto - Nova Gorica highway, take the Ajdovščina exit 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 mountain signposts for Čaven, Veliki rob and Kucelj (signposts are located between the quarry and tunnels, road sign approx. 10 km). We park a few tens of meters lower on the parking lot by the road.
We can also reach the starting point from Godovič, via Črni vrh and Cola to Predmeja. In this case, from Predmeja we descend towards Ajdovščina and then soon after the third tunnel we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the signposts, then head to the Srednječavenska pot. The path that goes straight into the forest first moderately ascends, then continues crossing the slopes towards the south. Wide and well-maintained mountain path, soon passes to steep slopes (danger of falling rocks) and gradually turns more and more to the right. A little further, beautiful views open up from the path on Nanos and Vipava valley, and the path gradually transitions to rockier terrain. A little further ahead, the path again enters dense forest, where it begins to descend gently. After a short gentle descent, we reach a marked junction, where we continue right steeply upwards towards Čaven (left downwards Lokavec, straight continues the Srednječavenska pot).
We continue the ascent on the "lokavška" path, which ascends quite steeply. After some time, the path, which most of the time ran through the forest, again crosses some panoramic slopes. A little further, the path brings us to the ridge, where we have two options for continuing. The left path runs a little below the ridge and is less scenic than the one along the ridge, but is more forgiving in case of strong bora. After 10 minutes, both paths join and bring us to the uncovered grassy slopes east of Mala gora.
Here the steepness eases and the path continues across nice meadows, where in spring and summer we notice a lot of mountain flowers. Higher up, the path from Stomaž joins from the left, we continue straight on the path that brings us to the Koča na Čavnu hut in a few minutes of further walking.
Behind the hut, signs for Modrasovec and Golaki direct us right onto the meadow, across which we ascend transversely into the forest. When we enter the forest, we quickly cross the indistinct ridge of Mali Modrasovec (here an unmarked path to Mali Modrasovec branches right, 5 minutes), we continue straight on the cart track, which descends slightly and turns somewhat to the right. Just a little further, we reach a marked junction, where we continue straight towards Modrasovec (slightly right Golaki). We continue the ascent on a wider but quite overgrown path, which gradually shifts to the right side of the ridge. From the wide path or poor cart track, a marked footpath soon branches left, on which we ascend to the summit of Veliki Modrasovec in a few minutes of further walking.
