Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a steep cart track in the direction of Lovrenc. After a short steep ascent cart track brings us to a crossing, where the footpath to the church of St. Lovrenc branches off to the right. We continue on the bottom cart track which again starts ascending steeper and after 15 minutes of walking from the starting point brings us to hut Dom na Lovrencu.
At the hut we continue on the path towards Storžič and already after few steps the path brings us out of the forest on meadows below the church. Church of St. Lovrenc we reach in few minutes of walking on a meadow.
We continue on a meadow past the church and the path soon brings us into the forest. Further wide path slightly descends to small indistinct saddle, where joins the path from a little higher starting point. Further, we continue in the direction of Storžič still on a wide path, which is slightly ascending. The path soon becomes narrower and is then for quite some time steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, the path finally brings us out of the forest and nice views open up on the southern slopes of Storžič. The steepness is still not decreasing all the way to a bench on crossing.
Left leads a marked path towards Javornik and Poljane, and we go right towards Kališče. The path from the crossing becomes a little narrower and less beaten. Further, we for long time cross the slopes towards the east. On the path, there are taking turns forest and grassy slopes, which are on some spots also pretty steep. While crossing the path occasionally ascends a little steeper, and few times also slightly descends. In the second part of the crossing, the path brings us to the source below the saddle Bašeljsko sedlo. Here the path turns slightly to the right and is still crossing slopes until it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Bašeljski vrh and Mali Grintovec (left Storžič, right Dom na Kališču).
The path ahead ascends steeper through a lane of dwarf pines and with a nice view towards the neighbouring Mali Grintovec brings us on with dwarf pines covered ridge Bašeljski vrh, where in next few minutes we get to the next well-marked crossing. At the crossing, the path to Mali Grintovec and Srednji vrh branches off to the right, and we continue straight and with a view on Storžič we continue the ascent. The path which runs on and by with dwarf pines covered ridge, little below the summit joins also the path from Jekarica and Bašeljski preval. Here we continue right and on a little narrower ridge in a minute of additional walking, we reach Bašeljski vrh, from which a nice view opens up towards the mountains above Jezersko, and the view reaches all the way to Košuta, Obir and Lavanttal Alps in Austria.
From Bašeljski vrh we start relatively steeply descending towards the east to northeast, on the path that runs on and by the ridge, which is mostly vegetated with dwarf pines, and on the part where it isn't a little more caution is needed. After approximately 15 minutes the descent ends and the path brings us on a saddle Mačensko sedlo, where the marked path from Kališče and unmarked path through the valley of Suha join.
We continue straight in the direction of Mali Grintovec, on the path which starts relatively steeply ascending on the western slope of the mentioned mountain. After approximately half an hour of walking from the saddle Mačensko sedlo we come at the marked crossing, where from the right side, the path from Dolga njiva joins. We continue left and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the top of Mali Grintovec.
Laško - Bašeljski vrh 3:45 minutes, Bašeljski vrh - Mali Grintovec 45 minutes.
