Path description:
From the church, continue along the road towards Glinje and Cerkljanska Dobrava, and at the crossroads turn right towards Cerkljanska Dobrava. The way ahead leads us past several more houses, then the road passes into the woods, where we soon reach a place where the signs for Šenturška Gora direct us to the left onto an initially quite level footpath. The path ahead leads us past a wooden hut, after which it begins to climb gently. There is a slight ascent along the path, which leads us over several crossroads, where we follow the waymarked path. The winding to moderately steep path, which runs along paths and tracks, is completely laid higher up and leads us past a memorial to a place where the path from Komenda joins us from the right.

Continue straight on the marked path, which continues without any major changes in altitude, or even descends slightly. A little further on, cross a macadam road, and then start climbing along a well-maintained mountain path. Higher up, the path quickly joins the wide logging trail, which continues the ascent to a ridge, where it turns right. The cart track soon turns into a footpath, which begins to climb quite steeply up a relatively steep slope. After crossing this steep part, join the macadam road, which you follow to the right, and quickly emerge from the forest onto the grassy slopes below Šenturška Gora. After a few minutes of scenic walking along the macadam road, you will reach an asphalt road, which you follow to the right and quickly reach the Pavlin agritourism farm.

From the farm, continue along the asphalt road for a while and then reach the central part of the village, where you turn right twice before the Local House. There is a short climb past the chapel and the road leads to the Church of St. Urho on Šenturška Gora.

From the church, we return to the local centre and continue along the asphalt road, which continues eastwards and leads towards Sidraž. 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 serpentine (Martin's path branches off slightly to the left at the end of the bend), and then climb cross-country through 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 a track which you follow along the edge of the forest. A little higher up, the track splits and we go left, climbing through lane of bushes and woods before reaching 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 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.
