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 straight ahead (short path to Ambrož pod Krvavcem on the left), where you will quickly reach some houses in the hamlet of Jagošci, where one of the paths from Sidraž joins almost imperceptibly from the right.
The way ahead leads us along a dirt road, which climbs through hay fields, and higher up crosses lane of a forest. As we leave the forest, signs direct us left to cart track, and from there we go immediately right onto a slightly overgrown path, which we follow back to the road. Once back on the road, the path from Stahovica joins from the right, and we continue left and follow the road to the water tower, where we go left again (straight ahead mountain pasture Osredek). We continue to climb up the cart track, which leads us through the forest, and higher up it leads us to a pasture fence, where it is laid and then leads us, with beautiful views, all the way to the church of St Ambrose, and from the church we walk to the tourist farm at Ambružar.
