Path description:
At the end of the road, we go on the left cart track in the direction of Kališče and Storžič. Cart track is moderately ascending and after ten minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossing. We continue on the left cart track which after few meters vanishes. The path here leaves smaller valley by which was ascending and steeply ascends to the left direction. After this shorter steep ascent steepness decreases and the path brings us to partisan hospital Košuta. Behind the hospital path crosses two successive torrents and then again steeply ascends. The path which all the time runs through the forest brings us on a side ridge of Kališče, where joins the unmarked path from Bašelj. Forest then becomes thinner and occasionally some nice view opens up towards Storžič. After that, the path turns a little right again in the forest. Suddenly in front of us, we notice cottage, which is situated on the mountain pasture below Kališče. Only few meters ahead joins the path from the village Mače. Further, the path is ascending for approximately 15 more minutes through the forest. After that, the path makes a sharp left turn and in front of us, we notice a mountain hut Dom na Kališču to which we only have few steps.
From the mountain hut Dom na Kališču we continue on a wide ridge path in the direction towards Storžič. After few minutes of pleasant panoramic walking we get to a marked crossing, where from the left joins a little worse beaten path from Bašelj (path past the church of St. Lovrenc), in the direction of straight continues the path on Storžič, and we continue right in the direction of Bašeljski vrh, Mali Grintovec and Srednji vrh. From the crossing ahead we start ascending through dwarf pines, and the path quickly brings us to the next crossing, where we continue on the bottom right path (left Bašeljski vrh) in the direction of saddle Mačensko sedlo.
Next follows traversing of Bašeljski vrh, on the path which continues with some shorter ascents and descents. When the traversing ends we get to a saddle Mačensko sedlo, where from the left joins the marked path from Bašeljski vrh, and from the right unmarked path through the valley of Suha.
We continue straight in the direction of Mali Grintovec, on the path which starts relatively steeply ascending on the western slope of the mentioned mountain. After approximately half an hour of walking from the saddle Mačensko sedlo we get to a marked crossing, where from the right side, the path from Dolga njiva joins. We continue left and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the top of Mali Grintovec.
