Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Preddvor or Tupaliče (reachable from the Gorenjska highway or Kranj), then continue in the direction of Jezersko. When you arrive in Jezersko, you will soon see signs for the Kanonir Inn. After the guesthouse, turn left onto the road in the direction of Dol - Podstoržič and Kovk Farm. Continue along a slightly narrower road, which leads past houses, and then after a further 100 m of driving, you will reach a crossroads where a steep road branches off to the left, which is also the marked path to Kozji vrh. Continue straight on here, then at the next crossroads turn slightly left in the direction of Storžič and Kališča (slightly right Stegovnik). Just a little further on, the path takes you past the small hydroelectric power station Zabukovec, then quickly arrive at a place where there is a road sign stating that further driving is forbidden from 20. 7. to 20. 10. due to forestry work. Park in a small marked parking lot just before the road closure. For more information on the road's navigability, please call 04/25-45-300 (ZGS KE Jezersko - Kokra).
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road that leads past the ramp and continues along the Reka stream, which flows through the Podstoržič valley. The stream has several waterfalls, rapids, pools and some side tributaries, where some of the larger waterfalls are visible from our route. Higher up, a marked trail branches off to the right to Javorniški preval, and we continue straight on in the direction of Storžič, following the road to a right turn where it branches off in the direction of cart track in the direction of Bašeljski preval, Kališča and Storžič.
Continue briefly on the wider cart track (trains), then continue slightly left on the slightly narrower cart track, from which you soon turn right onto a marked footpath which crosses the aforementioned cart track a few more times higher up. Further on, the path leads us over the left bank of a mighty torrential gully, where a pleasant bench with a viewpoint of the torrent awaits us along the way, and if we look on the other side, we can also see several waterfalls in one of the gorges, which dry up on dry days. From here, the path climbs quite steeply for a few minutes, then gradually descends and leads us a little higher to Praprotnikova koča, which is located at the edge of a small clearing.
Behind the cottage, we continue on the marked path, which again begins to climb steeply, and then at the boulder, it transitively lays down. After the boulder, the path crosses the stream bed and then begins to climb steeply to the right. This is followed by a steeper climb on quite scenic terrain, from which a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains opens up. When we enter lane of dwarf pines, a path branches off to the right, leading under or along the slopes of Storžič towards the aforementioned Javorniški preval, and we continue straight ahead and in a few minutes reach the crossroads at Bašeljski Preval.
At the signposts at Bašeljski sedlo, turn left towards Kališča (right Storžič) and continue past the trail junction to Bašeljski vrh. From here the trail first climbs gently up the slopes of Bašeljski vrh, then begins to descend crosswise. After a few minutes of descending, you will reach a marked crossroads where another trail branches off to the left to the Bašelj summit, and the trail from Bašlje joins from the right. Continue straight ahead and in a few minutes of pleasant ridge walking you will reach the Mountain Home at Kišče. Starting point - Praprotnikova koča 2:10, Praprotnikova koča - Bašelj roll 35 minutes, Bašelj roll - Dom na Kališču 15 minutes.
