Access to the starting point:
Exit the Gorenjska motorway at exit Radovljica or Lesce, then follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When you arrive at Begunje na Gorenjskem, park in the large parking lot between PGD Begunje and Gostilna pri Jožovcu
Path description:
Near the fire house, you will see signs for St Peter's, which direct you to the asphalt road that continues through the village. From the nearby crossroads by the eco-island, follow the road slightly to the left, and at the next crossroads slightly to the right up towards St Peter's. Before the "last" house, leave the road and continue along the beaten mountain path, which ascends through a hay meadow with views as far as Triglav. At the top of the hayloft, the trail enters the forest and begins to climb steeply, following the markings at the crossroads. Higher up, the stations of the cross also accompany us along the way, and we continue to follow the fairly steep path all the way to St Peter's Church, which is located on the lookout hill above Begunje.
From the church, turn left in the route Sankaška koča, and follow the wide and winding cart track, which runs to the right of the airstrip and the lookout point. When the cart track enters the forest, continue along the left-hand cart track, which continues on a slight ascent. In the last part of the section, cart track becomes a little steeper, and we quickly reach Sankaška koča, from which we have a nice view of Julian Alps.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Begunjščica, Roblek's home, Poljška mountain pasture and Završnice, where we first climb steeply and then continue in a gentle descent to the nearby private hut, which we pass on the right hand side. There is some climbing and then you reach the hunting lodge LD Hochstuhl - Žirovnica. Here, from a nearby lookout point, a beautiful view of Gorenjska and the Julian Alps opens up, and the trail returns to the forest and continues along the cart track. At the crossroads, follow the signs, and for a while leave the tracks. When we return to the track, the terrain gradually levels out and we continue off the waymarked path to the left in the direction of N. E. , following the slightly narrower cart track. At a nearby crossroads, take the lower track, followed by a shorter crossing. When the crossing ends, the track turns into a forest path, which will take you up to the summit in a few minutes.
Starting point - St Peter 0:40, St Peter - Sankaška koča 0:10, Sankaška koča - Smokuški vrh 0:50.

9.11... Vzpon iz Begunj po Petrovi poti. Sestop po dolgi gozdni cesti mimo oznak za Titovo vas, HE Žingarica, Završnico, Moste in v Žirovnici na avtobus. Cesta do Tinčkove koče ni primerna za običajne avte. Je malo pred oznakami za Titovo vas zelo globok graben čez cesto. Drugače pa so bile stezice in ceste suhe, lepo prehodne. Razgled na Smokuškem vrhu so mi pa vzele meglice, lepo.  https://jelenkamenmajdag.blogspot.com/2023/11/sv-peter-smokuski-vrh-in-malo-po-svoje.html
