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.
