Path description:
From the church, we continue on the road towards Glinje and Cerkljanska Dobrava, at the crossroad a little further we go to the right in the direction of Cerkljanska Dobrava. The path ahead leads us past more houses, and then the road passes into the forest, where we soon get to to the spot, where signs for Šenturška Gora point us to the left on at first entirely gentle footpath. The path ahead leads us past 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. 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 side, the path from Komenda joins.
We continue straight on a marked path which continues without large changes in altitude, or it even slightly descends. A little further, we cross a macadam road, after that 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 the ridge, where it turns right. Cart track soon changes into a footpath which starts ascending quite steep on a relatively steep slope. When we walk over this steep part, we join the macadam road which we follow to the right, and then we quickly step out of the forest on panoramic grassy slopes below Šenturška Gora. Next follows few minutes of scenic walking on a macadam road, and then we reach an asphalt road which we follow to the right, and then we quickly get to to agrotourism Pavlin.
From the agrotourism for some time we continue on the asphalt road, and then we get to the main part of the village, where before the Krajevni dom we continue twice right. Next follows a short ascent past the chapel and the road brings us to the church of St Urh on Šenturška Gora.
From the church, we return to Krajevni dom and we continue on the asphalt road which goes towards the east and leads towards Sidraž. After few minutes of walking on the asphalt road the settlement Šenturška Gora ends, and only few steps further we get to a marked crossroad.
From the crossroad, we continue on the left road in the direction of Sveti Lenart, and from there we go immediately left in the direction of Sveti Ambrož and Krvavec, so that on the left side we bypass the nearby sports field. Blazes and signs for path Martinova pot point us on the path which ascends by the sports field and above it passes into the forest through which it ascends to the spot, where we return on the road.
We continue on the road which makes a right hairpin turn (at the end of the turn slightly to the left path Martinova pot branches off), and then we are there ascending diagonally through the forest. Higher the forest gets thinner and we get to a marked crossing before the hamlet Jagošci.
We continue left in the direction of Krvavec and Sveti Ambrož (straight mountain pasture Osredek, Kamniški vrh and also Ambrož pod Krvavcem over Jagošce), where blazes point us on a cart track, on which we are ascending by the edge of the forest. A little higher, the cart track splits, and we go left, where we ascend through a lane of bushes and forest and then we get to the next meadow, where we continue by the left edge. Few minutes we are ascending on a worse footpath which leads us by the edge of the forest and then at the tourist farm Pr Dovar we reach an asphalt road.
We continue diagonally towards the right, at the nearby houses the road ends and behind them we continue on a cart track which ascends diagonally through a panoramic meadow. When the cart track turns right, we leave it and we continue even a little more to the right on a marked path which starts ascending steeper on a grassy slope. Next follows an ascent on a panoramic grassy slope, and the footpath is slowly turning a little to the right, so that in a diagonal ascent we reach the church of St. Ambrož and Tourist farm Pr Ambružarju.
