Route description:
From the starting point, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Komendska Dobrava, Šenturška Gora, Ambrož pod Krvavcem and Krvavec. The marked path immediately enters the forest named Komendski boršt, through which it ascends easily. At numerous smaller junctions, we carefully follow the blazes.
On the section where the path from Klanec joins us from the left, we continue straight. A little further, at the place where the path begins to descend gradually, a path to the partisan hospital branches off to the right, but we continue following the path towards Šenturška Gora. The path ahead leads us briefly along a smaller stream, after which we soon step onto an asphalt road, which we follow to the left; at the nearby smaller crossroads by the house, we continue right onto a macadam road. From the macadam road, we immediately continue slightly left onto the footpath in the direction of Šenturška Gora. We continue through the forest again, and the path soon brings us to the next stream. After the stream, the path ascends somewhat more steeply for a while, then flattens out completely and brings us to the edge of a larger meadow, where we cross the end of the nearby macadam road. We continue on the marked path, which proceeds with some shorter ascents and descents, then after crossing the Doblič stream we quickly reach a wider macadam road.
We follow the road to the right (left to Zalog); it quickly brings us to the place where the path to Šenturška Gora via Zaloški rob branches off to the left, but we continue along the road, which past a larger clearing (noticed on our left) brings us to some unofficial parking area, where we see the next signs for Šenturška Gora.
We continue in the direction of Šenturška Gora along the path, which begins to ascend moderately. On the section where the path temporarily flattens, fine weather offers some views towards Triglav; the path soon returns to the forest, through which it continues along an indistinct ridge. When the path from the ridge moves onto the slope, it becomes quite steep, then flattens and crosses a forest road. After crossing the road, we reach a pleasant bench with a wish bell beside it. Further on, the path ascends mostly steeply; higher up it becomes even steeper for a short time, then flattens and past the bench "Kačja slinca" brings us out of the forest onto expansive scenic meadows below Šenturška Gora. The path continues across the meadow, where with fine views we reach an asphalt road in a few minutes, which we follow left uphill (right downhill to Tunjice). The path ahead takes us past the junction to the well-known herbal farm Grilc (Aelita), then at the next crossroads we continue left (right is the marked path to Ambrož pod Krvavcem). We continue along the asphalt road, which past a stone for weather forecasting and a shrine brings us to a place with several successive crossroads. We take the road continuing from a small chapel, which in a minute or two of further walking brings us to the church of St. Urh on Šenturška Gora.
From the church, we return to the village hall and continue along the asphalt road heading east towards Sidraž. After a few minutes walking along the asphalt road, the settlement Šenturška Gora ends, and just a few steps further we reach a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, we continue along the left road in the direction of Sv. Lenart, then immediately left from it in the direction of sv. Ambrož and Krvavec, thus bypassing the nearby playground on the left side. Blazes and signs for Martinova pot direct us onto the path that ascends beside the playground and above it enters the forest, through which it climbs to the place where we return to the road.
We continue along the road, which makes a right serpentine (at the end of the bend, Martinova pot branches slightly left), then ascend transversely along it through the forest. Higher up, the forest thins and we reach a marked junction before the hamlet Jagošci.
We continue left in the direction of Krvavec and sv. Ambrož (straight to mountain pasture Osredek, Kamniški vrh and also Ambrož pod Krvavcem via Jagošce), where the blazes direct us onto a cart track, along which we ascend at the edge of the forest. Somewhat higher, the cart track forks; we go left, ascending through a belt of bushes and forest, then reach the next hay meadows, where we continue along the left edge. For a few minutes we ascend along a poorer path leading at the edge of the forest, then at the tourist farm pr Dovar we reach an asphalt road.
We continue transversely to the right; at the nearby houses the road ends, and behind them we continue along the cart track that ascends transversely across a scenic hay meadow. When the cart track turns right, we leave it and continue somewhat more to the right onto the marked path, which begins to ascend more steeply up the grassy slope. This is followed by an ascent up the scenic grassy slope; the path gradually turns somewhat to the right, reaching the church of sv. Ambrož and the Tourist farm pr Ambružarju in a transverse climb.
