Tržič - Sveta Neža (Brezje pri Tržiču)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction, then we follow the signs for Tržič. When we arrive in Tržič before the Pošta Slovenije post office we turn left in the direction of the Tržič health centre, still before we cross the Tržiška Bistrica river we turn left again and drive to a larger marked parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we return to the road which runs towards the health centre Tržič, and we cross the Tržiška Bistrica river and the Mošenik stream. After Mošenik before the building SGP Tržič we go left and further follow the blazes, which lead us on a narrower asphalt road. The path ahead leads us below the main road which leads towards Ljubelj, and after some time through the underpass we arrive on the other side of the main road, so that we gradually ascend above it.
At the smaller crossroad at the wooden religious symbol we go slightly right, and the path continues moderately ascending. At the next crossroad we go once again slightly right, and before the last house we go from the road slightly left on a marked path, which bypasses a few houses on the left side. With nice views we reach another road, and along it we continue to the nearby crossroad, where at the cross we go right in the direction of Dobrča.
At the next crossroads we follow the blazes, and we gradually ascend above the last houses, from where a beautiful view opens up. Next follows some crossing towards the left, then we arrive at a marked junction by a larger chapel.
Here before the chapel a path branches off to the right towards the castle Gutenberk (Hudi grad), also old Gutenberk or in German Altgutenberg and one of the paths to Dobrča, and we go after the chapel right in the direction of Dobrča (left - church of St. Jurij).
Next follows a few minutes of diagonal descent on a macadam road, and when we reach the asphalt road Bistrica pri Tržiču - Begunje we follow it to the right. The road then leads us past the water intake Žegnani studenec, and we follow the ascending asphalt road to the settlement Brezje pri Tržiču, where at the smaller crossroad we go on the upper right road. Next follows a few minutes of ascent and we arrive at the church of St. Neža, from which a beautiful view opens up.
