Mače - St. Miklavž above Mače

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east, and then we continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we get to Preddvor we leave the main road and we continue driving left towards the center of the mentioned settlement, from there we follow the signs for Mače. When we get to Mače, at the marked crossroad we continue right (left Bašelj, straight church of St. Miklavž (church isn't accessible with a car)) and on a narrow road we drive above the village, where there is a larger marked parking lot.
B) From highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Kranj - zahod and at the first crossroad, we continue left. Further, we drive through the underpass below the highway, and then we get to a roundabout, from where we continue driving in the direction of Golnik. The path ahead leads us through the settlement Mlaka pri Kranju, and at the end of the settlement, we continue right in the direction of the settlement Srakovlje. Next follows driving through Srakovlje, Spodnja Bela, Srednja Bela to Zgornja Bela, where we continue right towards Preddvor. In Preddvor we notice signs for Mače, which point us to the left past the primary school on a road which ascends to Mače. When we get to Mače, at the marked crossroad we continue right (left Bašelj, straight church of St. Miklavž (church isn't accessible with a car)) and on a narrow road we drive above the village, where there is a larger marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot above Mače we return on an asphalt road back to the center of the village, and from there we continue in the direction of St. Miklavž (turn-off of the road in the middle of the village towards St. Miklavž is well marked). From the center of the village we continue on a dead-end street and there we start moderately ascending. The road soon flattens and it brings us to the spot, where we notice the next sign for St. Miklavž, which this time points us left on the road which leads us past some yards towards the nearby stream. Still before we descend to a stream next sign points us right, where we continue past the garage and by concrete retaining wall. When already worse road descends entirely to a stream Suha, over smaller wooden bridge we also cross it. On the other side of the small bridge we ascend to the edge of yard of the nearby residential house, and then we continue right, where we start ascending by mesh fence. After a short ascent, we step on the edge of a larger meadow, from where a nice view opens up on Tolsti vrh and Storžič. We continue by the edge of the forest or entirely on the right side of a meadow, to the spot, where the footpath returns into the forest. When we step into the forest footpath widens into a cart track, and we continue there only few 10 strides, and then we go right on a well-beaten footpath. A little further, we reach the next cart track which we cross diagonally towards the left.
From the cart track ahead we are ascending on a moderately steep path, which quickly leads out of the forest on a larger meadow below the church of St. Miklavž. From here only a short ascent follows and we are already at the church, from which a nice view opens up on Gorenjska's settlements, Polhograjsko and Škofjeloško hribovje and in good visibility also on Triglav.
