Ladine / Ladinach - Mačenski vrh / Matschacher Gupf (path 668)

Access to starting point:
We drive over Ljubelj on the Austrian side and through the village Podljubelj / Unterloibl and Podgora / Unterbergen we get to the first roundabout. We go straight, and at the second roundabout after 200 meters we turn left (third exit). We drive through the village Struga / Strau (stationary radar) 50 km/h and ahead through few hamlets to the settlement Bistrica v Rožu / Feistritz im Rosental. In the settlement, we cross a railway track and we start descending. On the right we bypass a gas station. When the path flattens follows a mild left turn. The settlement ends, and we will on a plain after approximately 300 meters notice a nicely settled crossroad (it has a separated lane for turning left), at which we turn left. A narrow road goes uphill and through the railway underpass. 100 meters later at the crossroad we turn right, and after approx 200 meters we go again left (at that crossroad on the right side there is a tree with signs of the mountain path). We drive 300 meters ahead on a narrow asphalt road. When it passes on the edge of the forest, it turns a little to the left, and we go right on a nice cart track and we look for a parking lot - on the cart track we can gain quite some altitude with a car. But higher it is harder to find appropriate space.
