Path description:
From the church we continue on the road towards Glinje and Cerkljanska Dobrava, at the crossroad a little further we go 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 get to the spot where signs for Šenturška Gora point us left onto an initially entirely gentle footpath. The path ahead leads us past a wooden cottage, behind which it starts lightly ascending. A gentle ascent follows on the path which leads us over more crossings, where we follow the marked path. A gently sloping to moderately steep path which runs on footpaths and cart tracks, higher entirely flattens and past the memorial brings us to the spot where from the right the path from Komenda joins.
We continue straight on the marked path which continues without major changes in altitude, or even slightly descends. A little further we cross a macadam road, then we start ascending on a well-maintained mountain path. The path higher quickly joins a wide cart track, on which we continue the ascent to some sort of ridge, where it turns right. The cart track soon changes into a footpath, which starts ascending quite steeply on a relatively steep slope. When we pass this steep part we join a macadam road, which we follow to the right, on which we quickly step out of the forest onto panoramic grassy slopes below Šenturška Gora. A few minutes of scenic walking on a macadam road follow, then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the right, on which we quickly get to the agrotourism Pavlin.
From the agrotourism we continue on the asphalt road for some time, then we get to the central part of the village, where before the Krajevni dom we continue twice right. A short ascent past the chapel follows and the road brings us to the church of St. Urh on Šenturška Gora.
