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 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.

After the ascending road, the marked path continues, and we leave the road at the bend and continue slightly left in the direction of the Martin Trail. Martin's path is not marked, but there are marked crossroads, and the path mostly leads along a wooded ridge, occasionally quite steeply upwards. The path, which mostly runs along dirt tracks, but higher up on a forest path, then leads us without any major views to the registration box at Prgozdnik.
From the registration box, continue straight ahead (left down Apno) and climb gently for the first 10 steps, then follow cart track down to the nearby dirt road, which you follow to the right. There is some more downhill to the farm pr Duvar, where a marked path joins from the right.
Continue cross-wise to the left, and at the nearby houses the road ends, and after them follow cart track, which climbs cross-wise over a view hayfield. When the 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-country climb.
Šenturška Gora - Prgozdnik 1:05, Prgozdnik - St. Ambrose 0:25.
