There is a magnificent view also from the Mala Gora mountain refuge. The Mt. Čaven is mostly overgrown with forest, especially with white and black beech and is abundant in Alpine flora. Mount Čaven The description of the hut The Anton Bavčar Mountain Hut is situated in the clearing between the Mt. Veliki Modrasovec in the north and the Mala Gora mountain pasture (1034 m above sea level) in the south. Both mountains stand at the southern edge of the Trnovo Forest and together form an area called Čaven. In 1908 the Vipava – Ajdovščina branch office of the Slovene Alpine Association rented a room in the forest hut in order to found a mountain refuge to all mountaineers. After the Second World War the mountaineers from Ajdovščina renovated the refuge in the forest hut and opened it on 22 June 1947. They named it after Anton Bavčar from Ajdovščina (1905 – 1944), who was in Trieste, during the war shot as a hostage. In 1963 the Ajdovščina Alpine Association bought and renovated the forest hut into a mountain refuge. Between 1978 and 1979 an extension to the refuge was built, the refuge was renovated again and renamed into a mountain hut. In 1993 the road was relocated from the front of the hut to the back, so that it does not disturb the guests. The hut is opened from the beginning of May until the end of September, every Saturday, Sunday and during the holidays. The restaurant seats 50 people and there is also a counter. In front of the hut is room for 40 guests, in two rooms, each with 10 beds and in the dormitory 30 beds, toilet and a bathroom with hot and cold water. The hut has no electric installation, thus the dining room is heated by a stove and electricity is produced by generator.
