When you reach Preddvor, leave the main road and turn left towards the centre of the town, and from there follow the signs for Bašelj. When we arrive in Bašelj, first at the beginning of the left turn in the direction of straight ahead there is a narrower road leading to the parking lot at the log cabin TD Bašelj (in the descriptions the starting point Bašelj), and from the mentioned crossroads we continue along the main road for another 100 m to the next crossroads, where we continue to the right along the road towards the Gamsovemu raje and the hamlet Laško (Laško hamlet). Only about 50 m further on, continue along the left-hand road, which gradually starts to climb moderately. At the hamlet of Laško, turn left again, then the asphalt ends and you continue along a steep macadam road, which you follow to a parking area, at a small crossroads. There are red mountain direction signs at the crossroads.

The road continues through Mlaka pri Kranju, and at the end of the village we turn right in the direction of Srakovlje. Then drive through Srakovlje, Spodnja Bela, Srednja Bela, Zgornja Bela (in Zgornja Bela we join the road from Preddvor) to Bašlja, where the main road makes a long left turn, where a narrower road continues in a straight direction, leading to the parking area at the log cabin TD Bašelj (in the descriptions the starting point Bašelj), and from this junction we continue along the main road for another 100 m to the next junction, where we continue right along the road towards Gamsovem raje and the hamlet of Laško. Only about 50 m further on, continue on the left road, which gradually starts to climb moderately. At the hamlet of Laško, turn left again, then the asphalt ends and you continue along a steep macadam road, which you follow to a parking area, at a small crossroads.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the wider macadam road (to the left, Dom pod St. Lovrencem and the Church of St. Lawrence), which climbs gently and crosswise on the slopes of Gora (918 m) (Gora is the peak located above the Church of St. Lawrence). The road, which most of the time climbs through the forest, passes higher up to the slopes of Gradišče, where the path from the valley of the Belica stream joins us from the right (starting point at the log cabin of the TD Bašelj). Walk along the macadam road for another 10 metres and you are at the next crossroads, where another path to St. Lovrenec branches off to the left.
From this crossroads, walk along the road for only a few steps, and then on the right, by the sign marking the private parking area, continue right on the beaten track, which in a minute or two of further walking will take you to the top of Gradišče, where there is a small wooden hut.
