Mače - Bašeljski vrh (through valley of Suha)

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, we continue in the direction of Kališče and we continue on for public traffic closed forest road. The road which is relatively steeply ascending, after good 20 minutes of walking, it brings us to a marked crossing, where normal path on Kališče branches off to the left, and we go right and we continue on a worse forest road. Only a little higher we come to the bottom station of the cargo cableway, which runs on Kališče, the road then gradually changes into a wide cart track.
We follow a marked cart track for some time, after it splits into two parts, we continue on the left wider unmarked cart track (by the crossing is situated cairn). We continue the ascent on the mentioned cart track which is steeply ascending on lane of unvegetated slopes. Higher, the cart track ends, and we continue on easy to follow, but quite steep path, which higher passes into a dense forest. Next follows approximately 20 minutes of ascent and we join the marked path, which we follow to the left.
We follow the marked path only few 10 meters and then just before a marked path turns sharply to the left, we leave it and we continue the ascent straight on a barely visible footpath. The footpath in the forest quickly vanishes, and we continue in the same direction. The path then out of the forest quickly brings us on gravel covered with dwarf pines, on and by which we are ascending towards the saddle Mačensko sedlo. Even though is "path" on some spots hard to follow, there aren't any bigger problems with orientation, because of all the time we continue in the same direction (so towards the saddle between Bašeljski vrh and Mali Grintovec). Higher, we have to get through a short lane of dwarf pines, but passage isn't that difficult, because through the mentioned part is clearly visible, otherwise entirely overgrown footpath. Further, the path brings us out of dwarf pines and after few steps of additional walking, we get to a saddle Mačensko sedlo, where we again step on a marked path.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Bašeljski vrh (sharply left Kališče, right Mali Grintovec) on the path which starts ascending steeply on and by east ridge of an already mentioned summit. This relatively steep and an increasingly panoramic path, we follow all the way to peak, which we reach after approximately 20 minutes of walking from the saddle Mačensko sedlo.

On the way: Mačensko sedlo (1615m)

Trip can be extended to: Mali Grintovec (1 h)
