Path description:
From the starting point at log cabin of tourism association Bašelj we continue on for public traffic closed forest road which leads us by the stream Belica. At first, we walk by football and basketball field, and then we already get to the first crossing of the path Gamsova pot, where we continue left (straight on the road Kališče, Gradišče, Storžič...) in the forest, where at first we walk parallel with the road, and then the path turns more to the left and starts ascending diagonally over gradually steeper slope. Higher, we step out of the forest, from where a nice view opens up towards Gamsov raj, Gorenjska and nearby village Laško. From here past the bench and NOB monument in few steps we descend to the near road, and there we walk only few meters, because signs of the path Gamsova pot point us to the right into the forest. A few minutes of ascent through the forest follows, and then we reach the forest road which we follow to the right to the nearby crossroad and parking lot.
From the crossroad, we continue on rough and steeper left road in the direction of St. Lovrenc and hut Dom pod Lovrencem (straight Kališče, Storžič - to Kališče and Storžič it is possible to get to even if we continue left). From the crossroad ahead we are ascending relatively steeply, during the ascent marked footpath which leads directly towards the church of St. Lovrenc branches off to the right and bypasses hut below Lovrenc. We all the time continue on the road, and from there higher for some time a view opens up a little. When the road after some time turns sharply right, in few steps it brings us to the already mentioned hut Dom pod Lovrencem.
