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 spot where the path starts 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 briefly along a small 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 again through the forest, and the path soon brings us to the next stream. After the stream, the path ascends somewhat more steeply for a while, then levels out 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 quickly reach a wider macadam road.
We follow the road to the right (left to Zalog), which soon brings us to the spot where the path to Šenturška Gora via Zaloški rob branches off to the left.
We continue in the mentioned direction (straight ahead there is also another path to Šenturška Gora) and begin ascending through the forest. After about 15 minutes, the path levels out, and at the indistinct summit Ostrožno (430 m), the path from Zalog joins us from the left. We continue right along the marked path, which proceeds without major changes in elevation, or even descends slightly. A little further, we cross a macadam road, then begin ascending along an exemplarily maintained mountain path. Higher up, the path quickly joins a wide cart track, along which we continue the ascent to a sort of ridge, where it turns right. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which begins to ascend quite steeply on a relatively steep slope. After passing this steep section, we join a macadam road, which we follow to the right; along it, we quickly emerge from the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes below Šenturška Gora. This is followed by a few minutes of scenic walking along the macadam road, then we reach an asphalt road, which we follow to the right, arriving quickly at the agrotourism Pavlin.
From the agrotourism, we continue along the asphalt road for a while longer, then arrive at the central part of the village, where before the Krajevni dom we turn right twice. A short ascent follows past the chapel, and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh on Šenturška Gora.
