Tržič - Sveti Jurij above Tržič

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction, then follow the signs for Tržič. When you arrive in Tržič, turn left in front of Posta Slovenije in the direction of the Tržič Health Centre, and before crossing Tržiška Bistrica, turn left again and drive to a large marked parking lot, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot we return to the road leading to the health centre Tržič, and we cross the river Tržiška Bistrica and the stream Mošenik. After Mošenik, go left in front of the SGP Tržič building and follow the signs that lead you along a narrower asphalt road. The way ahead leads us under the main road leading to Ljubelj, and after a while we arrive on the other side of the main road through an underpass, so that we gradually climb above it.
At a small crossroads by a wooden sign, bear slightly right and the path continues to climb moderately. At the next crossroads, bear slightly right again, and before the last house, bear slightly left off the road onto a waymarked path that passes a few houses on the left. With good views, reach the second road and continue along it to the nearby crossroads, where you turn right at the cross in the direction of Dobrča.
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 larger 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.
