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, the path to the partisan hospital branches off to the right, but we continue following the path towards Šenturška Gora. The path ahead leads us for a short time 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 towards 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 completely and brings us to the edge of a larger meadow, where we cross the end of the nearby macadam road. We continue along 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 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 that we notice on our left brings us to some unofficial parking lot, where we see the next signs for Šenturška Gora.
We continue towards Šenturška Gora along the path, which begins to ascend moderately. On the section where the path flattens temporarily, with nice weather we get 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 goes onto the slope, it becomes quite steep, then flattens and crosses a forest road. After crossing the road, we arrive at a pleasant bench, next to which there is a wish bell. Further on, the path ascends mostly quite steeply, higher up it becomes even steeper for a short time, then flattens and brings us past the bench "Kačja slinca" out of the forest onto the expansive and scenic meadows below Šenturška Gora. The path continues across the meadow, where with nice views in a few minutes we reach an asphalt road, which we follow left uphill (right downhill Tunjice). The path ahead takes us past the junction of the road to the known herbal farm Grilc (Aelita), then at the next crossroads we continue left (right marked path towards Ambrož pod Krvavcem). We continue along the asphalt road, which past the stone for weather forecasting and the shrine brings us to the place with some successive crossroads. We take the road that continues from the smaller chapel; it brings us in a minute or two of further walking to the church of St. Urh on Šenturška Gora.
From the church, we can return to the chapel, from there continue along the road to the farm tourism Pavlin a few minutes away.
