Šmartno - Grmada

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Šmartno, then at the beginning of the village of Šmartno, drive towards the nearby cemetery, where you can park.

Path description:
From the cemetery parking lot, follow the one-way road past the church to the next crossroads. Here, continue straight across the road (Tacen on the left, Bizeljčan Inn on the right) to the nearby mountain direction signpost. Signs for Šmarna gora direct you to a narrower road that begins to climb between houses. After a short, steep climb, we arrive at a small crossroads, where the signs for Šmarna gora direct us to the right on a gradually quite steep road, which turns into a forest mountain trail at the last house. Continue climbing through the forest for some time, then arrive at a marked crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of the Šmartinsko trail (right Partizanska pot na Šmarna gora).
The path continues to climb crosswise to the left, and we follow it in a slight to moderate ascent to the Chapel of the Sorrowful Mother of God, where one of the paths from Tacno joins us.
Here we continue upwards to the left, along a path which gradually begins to climb a little steeper. The path, which climbs through the forest all the way, is first joined by another path from Tacno, and in a sharp right turn it is joined by another path from Vikrče, and we continue along the wide path, which leads us past the chapel to a marked crossroads, where the marked path to Grmada branches off to the left.
Continue sharp left in the direction of Grmada (straight ahead Šmarna gora) on a path that climbs moderately through the forest. Follow this path to the top of Grmada, from which a fine view opens up.
