Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Only few kilometers after the turn-off for Preddvor we will on the right side of the road notice transformer and by it parking lot, where we park. Here are also signposts for mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.
Path description:
From the parking lot at first we carefully cross the road, and then we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. A wide path lightly ascends to the homestead Polajnar, where we step on the road which we follow to the right.
The road just after the house steeply ascends, which a little higher loses an asphalt covering. Further, the road flattens and turns a little towards the left, where it gets very close to the stream Čemšeniški potok. Even a little further, we cross the mentioned stream and right after it we come at the marked crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of mountian hut Dom Čemšenik. The road then again starts ascending steeper and in less than 30 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.
From the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik we continue behind the hut on a well visible but unmarked path, which goes into the forest and starts at first gently and then steeper and steeper ascending. The path soon brings us to modest vantage point, where it turns slightly to the right and then it is ascending diagonally. Higher, the path brings us on the main ridge (view on Gorenjska plain), where it ascends even steeper and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to more flat part, where there stands the wooden cottage (holiday cottage).
Shortly before the hut path turns to the right and after few additional strides, it brings us to the inscription box on Baba. From the inscription box to the top, it separates us only a minute of walking on a partly panoramic ridge.
Spodnja Kokra - Čemšenik 50 minutes, Čemšenik - Baba 45 minutes.
