Route description:
From the parking lot, continue along the sidewalk in the direction of Podčetrtek. After just a few minutes, behind Betonarna Pristava, turn right, where you first carefully cross the main road, then descend along the asphalt path to the railway crossing. There, carefully cross the tracks too and reach the cycle path on the other side. Cross that as well and continue the trail on the dirt road between fields, from where a nice view opens towards the church of St. Emma.
When the fields end, cross Mestinjščica over the bridge, then walk along the dirt road leading left along a strip of bushes to the nearby asphalt road, where you reach the marked path.
Follow the asphalt road right uphill and begin a fairly steep ascent along it, mostly through the forest and past turn-offs to nearby houses. Higher up, the forest thins and you arrive at a junction by a small stone chapel, where you choose the lower right road (the left leads to the church of St. Urban), along which the markers continue.
Continue along the asphalt road past individual houses and small hamlets. The path descends and ascends several times, and on grassy sections nice views open up. Follow the otherwise sparse markers all the time. Later, a somewhat longer descent follows; when you reach the forest-covered gully, go right at the junction, where you begin a steep ascent. Higher up, leave the gully and climb to a cluster of houses, where you turn right. The road becomes less steep ahead and past a few houses you arrive at the summit register box on Tinska gora, located by the water reservoir.
From the summit register box, you can continue for a few more minutes to the churches on Tinski vrh, where information boards are also placed.
