摘要：The academician Mirko Malez was not only born in Ivanec, but as a mountaineer and lover of nature, he was deeply attached to Ivanec and Ivanščica, and to the entire area of Ivanec. In return, Ivanec included him in several volumes of Ivanec calendar. After his death, his name was assigned to one of four streets of Ivanec cross road, the one which leads from the centre of town to Lepoglava. In Ivanec calendars, a kind of „encyclopedia of Ivanec” he is mentioned in a different context, i.e. among the famous people of the area of Ivanec as well as in the Annexes to the bibliography of Ivanec. He is inevitable as the author of numerous papers on Paleolithic, Neolithic and Vindija Cave. Special attention should also be paid to the articles of deceased Marija Poje, his collaborator and native of Ivanec as well. Finally, Ivanec calendar bid the last goodbye to Mirko Malez with the paper of distinguished academician Milan Herak.
