Bistrica pri Tržiču - Sveti Jurij above Tržič (on eastern road)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska Motorway at the Podtabor junction and continue to Ljubelj. Before the petrol station, turn right in the direction of Tržič, then after a short downhill, turn left towards Bistrica near Tržič. Turn right after the underpass and park in the large parking lot near the main road.

Path description:
At the end of the north-eastern part of the parking lot, there are short stairs to climb, then continue between the playground and the main road towards Ljubelj. Quickly reach the local road and follow it to the left, and when you reach the main road towards Begunje na Gorenjskem, follow it up to the left turn. At the crossroads, a few 10 paces further on from the bend, continue right onto the road Pod gradom. As you climb along the road, you will quickly reach the marked path from Tržič, which continues along the asphalt road that you have been walking on so far.
At the next crossroads, follow the signs and we gradually climb above the last houses, from where we get a nice view. There is some more crossing to the left, and then we come to a marked crossroads by a large chapel.
After the chapel, turn left onto the macadam road and follow it up to Villa Bistrica, before which you turn right and, after a further walk of some 10 paces, climb up to the church of St George.
