Mače - Planina Dolga njiva (via Kozjek)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Kranj - East, then continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When you reach Preddvor, leave the main road and turn left towards the centre of the town, and from there follow the signs for Mače. When you arrive in Mače, continue right at the marked crossroads (left Bašelj, straight ahead St Nicholas Church (the church is not accessible by car)) and follow the narrow road above the village, where there is a large marked parking lot.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the exit Kranj - West and continue left at the first junction. Continue through the underpass under the motorway and then to the roundabout, from where you continue in the direction of Golnik. The road continues through Mlaka pri Kranju, and at the end of the village we turn right in the direction of Srakovlje. We then drive through Srakovlje, Spodnja Bela, Srednja Bela to Zgornja Bela, where we turn right towards Preddvor. At Preddvor we see signs for Mače, which direct us left past the primary school onto the road that climbs up to Maca. When you arrive at Mače, continue right at the marked crossroads (left Bašelj, straight ahead St Nicholas Church (the church is not accessible by car)) and follow the narrow road above the village, where there is a large marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn onto the road you left. Follow it for about 40 minutes to the bottom station of the cargo cableway to Kališče. The road is more like cart track in the last part. From the cable car onwards, follow the markings carefully, as in the labyrinth of kolovozov the road quickly leads somewhere else. When we have completed this maze, all the cart tracks end. The path climbs steeply through the forest and leads to a wide ridge. Here the path turns left and climbs up this ridge. The path continues to climb and at a height of 1300m leads us to a crossroads. Here the path to Kališče branches off to the left, and we continue on the right path. After this we cross a ravine and after a few steps we reach the next crossroads. Here we take a sharp left after the Srednji vrh markings (straight ahead Hudičev Boršt). The path, which continues to climb through the forest, soon leads us into the valley below Dolgo njiva. Gozd then becomes rarer and the path turns slightly to the right. Soon we enter the meadows of Dolga njiva, where we can already see a house standing on mountain pasture.
Mače - cable car 45 minutes, cable car - Dolga njiva 2:00.
