Route description:
From the starting point at the log cabin of the Bašelj tourist association, continue along the forest road closed to public traffic, which leads along the Belica stream. Initially walk past the football and basketball courts, then reach the first junction of Gamsova pot, where continue left (straight along the road to Kališče, Gradišče, Storžič...) into the forest, where first walk parallel to the road, then the path turns even more left and begins to ascend transversely across the gradually steeper slope. Higher up, exit the forest, from where a nice view opens towards Gamsov raj, Gorenjska and the nearby village Laško. From here, past a bench and the NOB memorial plaque, descend in a few steps to the nearby road, along which walk only a few metres as the signs of Gamsova pot direct right into the forest. A few minutes of ascent through the forest follow, then reach the forest road, which follow right to the nearby junction and parking lot.
From the junction continue along the worse and steeper left road towards sv. Lovrenca and Dom pod Sv. Lovrencem (straight to Kališče, Storžič - to Kališče and Storžič it is also possible by continuing left). From the junction onwards ascend relatively steeply, during the ascent a marked footpath branches right leading directly to the church of sv. Lovrenca and bypassing Dom pod Lovrencem. Continue along the road all the time, from which higher up some transient views open. When the road after some time turns sharply right, it brings us in a few steps to the aforementioned Dom pod Lovrencem.
