Veliko Tinje - Sveti Trije kralji

Access to starting point:
We drive into the center of Slovenska Bistrica, where at the traffic-light-controlled intersection we turn in the direction of the health home and continue driving along Partizanska cesta. This is followed by driving through the town, where we continue straight, on the periphery of the town at the industrial zone we head onto the road towards Tinje, Sveti Trije kralji and Črno jezero. This is followed by an ascent on a somewhat narrower asphalt road, which begins to ascend and first leads past the hunting cottage pizzeria Gams, higher we also go through the settlement Visole, a few kilometers higher we arrive in Zgornje Tinje, where we continue left and then on the periphery of the settlement we park at Dom krajanov and the Tinje fire station.

Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the church, where the first blazes appear, and we ascend the stairs to the church, which we bypass on the left side. Behind the church, we cross the access road and continue along the hedge and then through the meadow return to the asphalt road, along which we ascend to an unmarked intersection. From the intersection, we continue along the right upper road, along which on the right we notice a blaze. A little further we arrive at a few more houses, where we go right onto a cart track that ascends diagonally above the road. Through the forest at the junctions we follow the blazes; a few minutes higher we leave the forest and continue the ascent along the path that continues along the edge of the forest. Higher the path turns right and returns to the forest, through which we ascend to an asphalt road, which we reach at a smaller intersection.
We continue left upwards (straight upwards along the side road we can reach the church of sv. Urh, right downwards we return to Veliko Tinje).
For a few minutes we ascend the asphalt road, then opposite the Repnik homestead (the homestead is located in the small settlement Rep), at the memorial plaque, we continue into the forest, through which we first ascend, then the path flattens and mostly in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes towards the left, where it comes entirely close to the road. A little further we leave the forest and continue right, first along the edge of the forest, on a smaller saddle an unmarked path joins us from the right, which leads past the church of sv. Urh.
Here we go somewhat to the left, where we cross a strip of forest, at the hunting observatory we temporarily leave the forest. The path ahead leads us along a gentle cart track that through the forest brings us to Planina pod Šumikom, where we cross the asphalt road that leads towards sv. Trije kralji.
We cross the main road and continue along the side road, which past the chapel brings us to the Škrinjar homestead, which we bypass on the lower side, before the next homestead Mlakar the blazes direct us right into the forest. This is followed by a somewhat steeper ascent through the forest, where we follow the blazes; when the path flattens, a marked path past Močnik joins us from the right.
We continue straight, where a few minutes of gentle to moderate ascent follow, then we already arrive at Hotel Jakec, above which is the church of sv. Treh kraljev.
