Path description:
From the local house on Šenturška Gora, opposite which there is also a children's playground, follow the asphalt road eastwards towards Sidraz. After a few minutes' walk along 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 from 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 which 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.
