Path description:
From the starting point, follow the footpath in the direction of Komenda Dobrava, Šenturška Gora, Ambrož pod Krvavcem and Krvavec. The marked trail immediately passes into the forest called Komenda boršt, through which it climbs easily. Follow the markings carefully at the many small crossroads.

At the part where the path from Klanec joins from the left, continue straight ahead. A little further on, at the point where the path begins to gradually descend, the path to the partisan hospital branches off to the right, and we continue to follow the path towards Šenturški Gora. The way forward leads us for a short time along a small stream, after which we soon enter an asphalt road, which we follow to the left, and at a nearby small crossroads, next to a house, we continue to the right on a macadam road. From the dirt road, immediately turn slightly left onto a footpath in the direction of Šenturška Gora. Continue through the forest again, and the path soon leads to the next stream. After the stream, the path climbs slightly steeply, then completely flattens out and leads us to the edge of a larger meadow, where we cross the end of the nearby dirt road. Continue along the marked path, which continues with a few short ascents and descents, then quickly reaches a wider macadam road after crossing the Doblič brook.

Follow the road to the right (Zalog on the left), which quickly leads us to a place where a path to Šenturška Gora over the Zaloški rim branches off to the left, and we continue along the road, which leads us past a large clearing, which we notice on our left, to a kind of unofficial parking lot, where we notice the following signs for Šenturško Gora.

Continue in the direction of Šenturška Gora, following the path which begins to climb moderately. At the part where the path is laid, in good weather we get some views towards Triglav, but the path quickly returns to the forest, through which it continues along an indistinct ridge. When the path goes from the ridge to the slope, it becomes quite steep, then it lays down and crosses a forest road. After crossing the road, you reach a pleasant bench with a wishing bell by its side. The path climbs steeply for the most part, but at higher altitudes it becomes even steeper for a short time, and then it lays down and leads us out of the forest, past the 'Kačja slinca' bench, to the vast and scenic meadows below Šenturška Gora. The path continues across the meadow, where, with beautiful views, you reach the asphalt road in a few minutes, which you follow up to the left (right down Tunjice). The way ahead leads past the road turnoff to the well-known herbal farm Grilc (Aelita), and then at the next crossroads continue left (right marked path towards Ambrož pod Krvavcem). Continue along the asphalt road, which leads past a weather forecasting stone and a signpost to a place where there are several successive crossroads. Take the road that continues from the small chapel, which in a minute or two of further walking will lead you to the Church of St Urho on Šenturški Gora.

From the church, return to the local home and continue along the asphalt road, which continues eastwards and leads towards Sidraž. After a few minutes of walking on the asphalt road, the Šenturška Gora settlement ends and we reach a marked crossroads just a few steps further on.
From the crossroads, continue along the road to the left in the direction of Sv. Lenart, and take the road immediately to the left in the direction of Sv. Ambrož and Krvavec, passing the nearby playground on the left. Markings and signs for the St Martin's Trail direct you to the path which climbs alongside the playground and above it into the woods, through which you climb to the place where you return to the road.
Continue along the road, which makes a right-hand serpentine (at the end of the bend, the Martin Trail branches slightly to the left), and then climb across the forest. Higher up, the forest thins out and you reach a marked crossroads in front of the hamlet of Jagošci.
Continue left in the direction of Krvavec and St Ambrose (straight ahead mountain pasture Osredek, Kamniški vrh and also Ambrož pod Krvavcem across Jagošce), where signs direct you to cart track, which you follow along the edge of the forest. A little higher up, cart track splits, and we go left to climb through lane of bushes and woods, and then reach the next hayfields, where we continue along the left-hand edge. Climb for a few minutes on a less good track that leads along the edge of the wood, then reach the tarmac road at the tourist farm pr Dovar.
Continue cross-wise to the right, and at the nearby houses the road ends and behind them you continue on the cart track, which climbs cross-wise over a view hayfield. When the cart track turns right, leave it and continue a little further to the right on a waymarked path which begins to climb steeply up a grassy slope. The path then climbs up a grassy slope with a view and slowly turns slightly to the right, reaching the church of St. Ambrose and the Tourist Farm pr Ambružarju in a cross-climb.
