SLO: Na območju arheoloških najdišč na Kovačevšu, visoko v pobočju Čavna, stoji podružnična cerkev, posvečena svetemu Urbanu, zavetniku vinogradnikov.
Cerkev je bila najverjetneje zgrajena v 18. stoletju v preprostem in težko določljivem slogu. Po nekaterih virih naj bi bila nekoč celo glavna lokavška cerkev, kar je zaradi polurne oddaljenosti od kraja zelo nenavadno.
Po navedbah arhiva nadškofijskega ordinariata v Gorici je bila cerkev za časa cesarja Jožefa II. podrta in pozneje, leta 1842, popravljena in ponovno blagoslovljena. Po drugi svetovni vojni je začela ponovno propadati in svojo današnjo, menda že tretjo podobo dobila leta 1987.

Pot do sv. Urbana vodi iz več smeri. Opisana pot vodi skozi Lokavec, do križišča za Kovače. Pred Kovači zavijemo levo in po lepem makadamu pridemo do zapuščene kmetije. Od tam vodi pot v smeri plazu slano blato. Pot nadaljujemo po interventni poti, kjer nas od tu spremljajo znamenja križevega pota. Do cerkvice pridemo v slabih 10 minutah. Ob cerkvici so postavljene klopi v prijetni senci starih divjih kostanjev ter drugih dreves. Pot nazaj pa lahko malo spremenimo in se vrnemo, kar po interventni poti. Ob poti si lahko ogledamo še kako naperdujejo dela na plazu. Pot je prijetna ter primerna za vse starostne skupine. Po njej gremo lahko peš, s kolesom, konjem...

ENG: In the area of archeological sites on Kovačevš, high on the slopes of Čavno, there is a branch church dedicated to St. Urban.
The church was most likely built in the 18th century in a simple and difficult to define style. According to some sources, it was once even the main church in Lokava, which is very unusual due to the half-hour distance from the place.
According to the archives of the Archdiocesan Ordinariate in Gorizia, the church was during the reign of Emperor Joseph II. demolished and later, in 1842, repaired and re-blessed. After the Second World War, it began to decay again and got its present, supposedly third appearance in 1987.

The path to St. Urbana leads from several directions. The described path leads through Lokavec, to the crossroads for Kovače. Before Kovači, turn left and along a beautiful macadam road you come to an abandoned farm. From there, the path leads in the direction of a landslide of salt mud. We continue along the intervention path, where from here we are accompanied by the signs of the Stations of the Cross. We reach the church in less than 10 minutes. Benches are placed next to the church in the pleasant shade of old wild chestnut trees and other trees.
