Mače - Planina Kališče

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).
