When arriving in Preddvor leave the main road and continue left towards the centre of the mentioned place, from there follow the signs to the Bašelj settlement. When arriving in Bašelj at the start of the left bend a narrower road continues straight to the parking lot at the TD Bašelj log cabin (in descriptions starting point Bašelj), we however from the mentioned junction continue on the main road for another good 100 m to the next junction, where we continue right on the road towards Gamsov raj and the Laško hamlet. Just some 50 m further continue on the left road, which gradually begins to ascend moderately. At the Laško hamlet continue left again, then the asphalt ends and we continue driving on a steep gravel road, which leads us past the junction of the path (cart track) to the church of St. Lovrenc and Dom na Lovrencu. From the mentioned junction drive a little further to the end of the road or smaller parking lot some 10 metres before.
b) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana motorway take the Kranj - west exit and at the first junction continue left. Continue driving through the underpass under the motorway, then arrive at a roundabout, from which continue driving towards Golnik. The route further leads through the Mlaka pri Kranju settlement, we at the end of the settlement continue right towards the Srakovlje settlement. Follows driving through Srakovlje, Spodnja Bela, Srednja Bela, Zgornja Bela (in Zgornja Bela we join the road from Preddvor) to Bašelj, where the main road makes a long left bend, where a narrower road continues straight to the parking lot at the TD Bašelj log cabin (in descriptions starting point Bašelj), we however from the mentioned junction continue on the main road for another good 100 m to the next junction, where we continue right on the road towards Gamsov raj and the Laško hamlet. Just some 50 m further continue on the left road, which gradually begins to ascend moderately. At the Laško hamlet continue left again, then the asphalt ends and we continue driving on a steep gravel road, which leads us past the junction of the path (cart track) to the church of St. Lovrenc and Dom na Lovrencu.

Path description:
From the smaller parking lot walk to the turning point at the end of the road. From the end of the road continue left onto the cart track towards Kališče and Storžič. The cart track then moderately ascends along the bed of the Belica stream and after about 10 minutes splits into two parts. Continue on the left cart track, which ends after just a few metres. At this point leave the proximity of the stream bed and continue slightly left on the path, which steeply ascends through the forest. The steepness soon eases and the path brings us to the partisan hospital Košuta.
After the hospital cross two consecutive gullies, then the path becomes steeper again. The path ahead still continues through the forest, crossing one steeper slope, where greater caution is needed when wet. Above the steep section we reach the side ridge of Kališče, where an unmarked path from Bašelj joins us from the right.
Here continue left and continue the ascent on the still steep path, which continues through gradually sparser forest. After the bench and some views of the nearby Storžič the path turns right and returns to dense forest. Follows a less steep path, which quickly takes us to the first hut on Spodnje Kališče. Behind the hut the forest ends, then on pleasant grassy terrain in a few minutes we reach the central part of the planina, where we also join the usual path from Mač.
