Mače - Bašeljski vrh

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj - east, then continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we arrive in Preddvor, we leave the main road and continue driving left towards the center of the mentioned settlement; from there, we follow the signs for Mače. When we arrive in Mače, at the marked intersection we continue right (left Bašelj, straight church of St. Miklavž (church isn't accessible by car)) and drive up the narrow road above the village, where there is a larger marked parking lot.
B) From the highway Jesenice - Ljubljana, we take the exit Kranj - west and at the first intersection continue left. We then drive through the underpass under the highway and arrive at a roundabout, from which we continue driving in the direction of Golnik. The route ahead leads us through the settlement Mlaka pri Kranju, but at the end of the settlement we continue right in the direction of the settlement Srakovlje. This is followed by driving through Srakovlje, Spodnja Bela, Srednja Bela to Zgornja Bela, where we continue right towards Preddvor. In Preddvor, we notice signs for Mače, which direct us left past the primary school onto a road that ascends to Mače. When we arrive in Mače, at the marked intersection we continue right (left Bašelj, straight church of St. Miklavž (church isn't accessible by car)) and drive up the narrow road above the village, where there is a larger marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head back to the road that we had left. We follow this road for a little less than half an hour to a junction, where we turn left following the signs for Kališče. The path here crosses a stream and immediately afterwards ascends more steeply. Already after a few minutes, the path brings us to a cart track, which we immediately leave. We head onto a marked footpath that runs between both cart tracks. The path ahead ascends moderately in zigzags. After some time, the path brings us back to a cart track. We follow it straight upwards, but only for a few minutes, then we head onto a trail. The trail brings us in a few minutes of ascent to benches on a panoramic rise. The path then leads into the forest and initially ascends gently. This nice walk on a less steep path ends quickly. The path then crosses a cart track and begins to ascend in zigzags through the forest. We continue on the path ahead, which gives us the feeling that we are quickly gaining height. The forest then becomes somewhat thinner, so that here and there we can glance towards Gorenjska. The path finally brings us to the mountain pasture Kališče, where a path from the neighbouring village (Bašelj, Laško) joins from the left. From here we have only another 15 minutes of ascent again through the forest to the Dom na Kališču hut.
From the hut, we continue on a wide ridge path in the direction of Storžič and Bašeljski vrh. Already after a few minutes further on, a path to Bašeljski vrh branches off to the right. We take this path, which through dwarf pines in a moderate ascent brings us to Bašeljski vrh. The last meters below the summit are dangerous for slipping in the snow.
