Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the village Tupaliče. Here a sign for Preddvor points us left and then we follow the road in the direction of neighbouring village Mače. Through the village Mače we stick to mountain signposts for Kališče. Soon after the village we will notice a marked parking lot, where we park (further driving is forbidden).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go back to the road which we left. We follow this road a little less than half an hour to a crossing, where we go left following the signs Kališče. The path here crosses a stream and immediately after that steeply ascends. Already after few minutes, the path brings us on a cart track which we immediately leave. We go on a marked footpath which goes between the both cart tracks. The path ahead is moderately ascending in zig-zags. After some time, the path again brings us on a cart track. We follow it straight upwards, but only few minutes and then we go on a footpath. The footpath in few minutes of ascent brings us to benches on a panoramic hill. The path then leads in the forest and at first, it is gently ascending. This nice walk on a less steep path quickly ends. After that, the path crosses a cart track and starts ascending in zig-zags through the forest. We walk on the path ahead, which gives us a feeling, that we are quickly gaining altitude. Forest is then becoming a little thinner so that here and there we can look towards Gorenjska. The path then finally brings us on the mountain pasture Kališče, where from the left joins the path from neighbouring village (Bašelj, Laško). From here ahead we have only 15 more minutes of ascent again through the forest to the mountain hut Dom na Kališču.
From the hut, we continue on a wide ridge path in the direction of Storžič and Bašeljski vrh. Already after few minutes of additional walking, the path on Bašeljski vrh branches off to the right. We go on this path, which through dwarf pines in a moderate ascent brings us on Bašeljski vrh. The last meters below the summit are in snow dangerous for slipping.
From the top, we descend towards the saddle Mačensko sedlo. This part is a little more demanding, but snowless path doesn't represent any greater danger. The path which is descending from the peak in larger part runs on the ridge, which is in parts slightly exposed. From the saddle Mačensko sedlo ahead the path again starts ascending. Ascent runs on a grassy slope, which is mostly vegetated with dwarf pines. Only few steps below the summit we come to a crossing, where we go left (right Srenji vrh and Dolga njiva) and without problems we reach the panoramic peak.
Mače - Kališče 2:30, Kališče - Bašeljski vrh 45 minutes, Bašeljski vrh - Mali Grintovec 45 minutes.
