Povodje - Šmarna gora (via Sedlo)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubljana - Šmartno exit, and follow the road to the settlement, where you turn right onto the road leading to Vodice. Continue towards Vodice, and at the first junction after the motorway overpass turn right, where after 100 m you will reach the Povodje fish farm. There are no parking spaces at the starting point, but you can find a suitable place somewhere nearby.

Path description:
From the starting point, take the initially overgrown path in the route Šmarna gora, which will take you up to the motorway overpass in 10 steps. Walk along the pavement to the other side of the motorway, cross the road carefully and then take the marked footpath that continues along the wire fence. Walk along the overgrown path at first, then join the cart track, which continues parallel to the motorway for some time. After a short, winding descent, cart track turns left and we continue along the motorway. The relatively poorly marked path then turns left and leads to a large meadow. Here we continue slightly to the right and walk almost along the edge of the meadow to the nearby woods, where we join the slightly better marked path from Skaručna. Here, continue left, cross the Gračenica stream, and then begin a gentle climb. The path ahead leads us under the power line, returns to the forest a little further on and crosses a macadam road. A little above the road, we join the logging trail wall, which we gradually start to climb steeper and steeper. At a higher altitude, leave the cart track and climb a slightly steeper path in a few minutes to a path that almost encircles Šmarna Gora. Follow the path to the right, and it will lead you over relatively steep slopes to the Turk's sign.
Continue straight ahead (left steeply up Šmarna gora - steep path) and continue along the path which climbs crosswise. Higher up, the path turns slightly more to the left and leads out of the forest onto grassy slopes. Here, first cross the pasture fence, then, with a view of Grmada, walk to the crossroads where you join the less good road leading to the top of Šmarna gora. Follow the road to the left and climb to the top in a few minutes.
