Šmartno - Šmarna gora (Partizanska way)

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, turn onto the one-way road and walk 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 signpost. Signs for Šmarna gora direct you to a narrower road that begins to climb between the houses. After a short ascent, 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 steeply through the forest for some time, then arrive at a marked crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of the Partizanská steze (Partizanská steze) to Šmarna gora (on the left Šmartinska pot (Šmartinska pot)).
The path continues to climb moderately for a few minutes, then leads to the next crossroads, where we again continue in the direction of the Partizanska steze. From the crossroads onwards, the path becomes steeper and passes onto significantly steeper slopes, which are dangerous for slipping, especially in snow and ice. Further on, we climb up the steep slope in circuits, and after a while the well-maintained path leads us to a bench, from which we have a beautiful view of the valley. Above the bench, the path passes onto a ridge, which we climb just below the top of Šmarna Gora. Here, the path goes from the ridge to a slope, over which we climb to the top of Šmarna Gora in a few 10 steps of further walking.
