Veliko Tinje - Sveti Trije kralji

Access to the starting point:
Drive to the centre of Slovenska Bistrica, where you turn off at the traffic lights in the direction of the health centre and continue along Partizanska cesta. Then drive through the town, continuing straight on, on the outskirts of the town, and at the industrial zone turn onto the road towards Tinje, Sveti Trem kralji and Black Lake. The asphalt road is slightly narrower and begins to climb, initially leading past the Hunting Hut of the Gams pizzeria, then higher up through the Visole settlement, and a few kilometres higher up to Zgornje Tinje, where you turn left and park on the outskirts of the settlement at the Home of the Landowners and the Tinje Fire House.

Path description:
From the starting point, walk to the church, where the first markings appear, and we climb the stairs to the church, which we pass on the left. After the church, cross the access road and continue along the hedge, then cross the meadow back to the tarmac road, which leads up to an unmarked crossroads. From the crossroads, continue along the upper right-hand road, and you will see a waymark on the right. A little further on, you reach a few more houses, where you go right to cart track, which rises crosswise above the road. Follow the signs through the forest at the crossroads, and a few minutes higher up, leave the forest and continue climbing along the path that continues along the edge of the forest. Higher up, the path turns right and returns to the forest, through which you climb to an asphalt road, which you reach at a small crossroads.
Continue left up (straight up a side road to reach the Church of St. Urho) and right down to return to Veliko Tinje.
Climb along the asphalt road for a few minutes, then opposite the Repnik homestead (the homestead is located in the small settlement of Rep), by the memorial, continue into the woods, through which you first climb, then the trail flattens out and mostly in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes to the left, where you get quite close to the road. A little further on, we leave the forest and continue to the right, initially along the edge of the forest, and at a small pass, an unmarked path joins us from the right, leading past the Church of St Urho.
Go slightly to the left here, crossing the lane of the forest, and leave the forest at the hunting observation post. The path ahead takes us along the gently sloping cart track, which leads us through the forest to Planina pod Šumikom, where we cross the asphalt road leading to St. Three Kings.
Cross the main road and continue along the side road, which leads past the chapel to the Škrinjar homestead, which is bypassed on the underside, and before the next homestead, Mlakar, the signs direct us right into the forest. A slightly steeper climb through the forest follows, where we follow the markings, and when the path is laid, we are joined on the right by a marked path past Močnik.
Continue straight ahead, followed by a few minutes of gentle to moderate climbing, and then you will reach the Hotel Jakec, above which is the Church of St. Three Kings.
