Path 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 us along the Belica stream. At first you walk along the football and basketball court, then you arrive at the first crossroads of the Gamsova cesta, where you continue left (straight along the road Kališe, Gradišče, Storžič. . . ) into the forest, where you first walk parallel to the road, then the path turns even more to the left and begins to climb crosswise over a gradually steeper and steeper slope. Higher up, you emerge from the forest, from where a beautiful view opens up towards the Gams paradise, Gorenjska and the nearby village of Laško. From here, we walk a few steps past the bench and the NOB memorial to the nearby road, and walk along it for only a few metres, as the Gamsova cesta signs point us right into the forest. After a few minutes of climbing through the forest, you will reach a forest road, which you follow to the right to a nearby crossroads and a parking lot.
From the crossroads, continue along the worse and steeper road to the left in the direction of St. Lawrence and Dom pod Sv. Lovrencem (straight ahead Kališe, Storžič - it is also possible to reach Kališe and Storžič by continuing to the left). From the crossroads onwards, the ascent is relatively steep, and during the ascent, a marked footpath branches off to the right, leading directly to the church of St. Lawrence and bypassing the Dom pod Lovrencem (Home under St. Lawrence). Continue along the road, with some views from the higher ground. After a while, when the road turns sharp right, a few steps will take you to the aforementioned Dom pod Lovrencem.
