Path description:
From the church we continue on the road towards Glinje and Cerkljanska Dobrava, at the intersection a little further we turn right in the direction of Cerkljanska Dobrava. The path ahead leads us past more houses, then the road passes into the forest, where we soon arrive at the spot where signs for Šenturška Gora direct us left onto an initially completely flat footpath. The path ahead leads us past a wooden hut, behind which it begins to ascend gently. A gentle ascent follows on the path that leads us across several junctions, where we follow the marked path. A gently to moderately steep path that runs along small paths and cart tracks, but higher up it flattens out completely and brings us past the memorial plaque to the spot where the path from Komenda joins from the right.
We continue straight on the marked path, which continues without major changes in elevation, or even descends slightly. A little further we cross a macadam road, then we begin to ascend on an exemplarily maintained mountain path. Higher up the path quickly joins a wide logging trail, 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. When we pass this steep section we join a macadam road, which we follow to the right, along which we quickly step out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes below Šenturška Gora. A few minutes of scenic walking on the macadam road follow, then we reach an asphalt road, which we follow to the right, along which we soon arrive at the farm tourism Pavlin.
From the farm tourism we continue on the asphalt road for some time, then we arrive at the central part of the village, where in front of the Krajevni dom we turn right twice. A short ascent past the chapel follows and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh on Šenturška Gora.
From the church we return to the community hall and continue on the asphalt road that continues eastwards towards Sidraž. After a few minutes of walking on the asphalt road the settlement Šenturška Gora ends, and just a few steps further we arrive at a marked intersection.
From the intersection we continue on the left road in the direction of St. Lenart, from it we immediately go left in the direction of St. Ambrož and Krvavec, thus bypassing the nearby playground on the left side. Markings and signs for Martinova pot direct us onto the path that ascends beside the playground and above it enters the forest through which it ascends to the spot where we return to the road.
We continue on the road which makes a right serpentine (at the end of the bend Martinova pot branches off slightly to the left), then we ascend transversely along it through the forest. Higher up the forest thins out and we arrive at a marked junction before the hamlet Jagošci.
We continue left in the direction of Krvavec and St. Ambrož (straight to mountain pasture Osredek, Kamniški vrh and also Ambrož pod Krvavcem via Jagošci), where markings direct us onto a cart track along which we ascend along the edge of the forest. A little higher the cart track forks, we go left where we ascend through a belt of bushes and forest, then arrive at the next hayfields, where we continue along the left edge. For a few minutes we ascend on a poorer path that leads us along the edge of the forest, then at the tourist farm Pr Dovar we reach the asphalt road.
We continue transversely to the right, at the nearby houses the road ends and behind them we continue on the cart track that ascends transversely across a panoramic hayfield. When the cart track turns right, we leave it and continue a little further to the right on the marked path which begins to ascend more steeply on the grassy slope. An ascent on the panoramic grassy slope follows, the little path slowly turns somewhat to the right, so that in the transverse ascent we reach the little church of St. Ambrož and the Tourist farm Pr Ambružarju.
