Tičnica - Šmarjetna gora

Access to the starting point:
a) Take Medvode, then take the old road to Kranj, where you turn left at the first traffic light in the direction of Stražišče and Šmarjetna gora. From the roundabout where the road to Šmarjetna gora turns off to the right, continue "straight on" (second exit). Continue along Škofjeloško, then from a slightly larger junction turn right towards Sv. Jošta above Kranj and Čepulje. When Kranj ends, park in the marked parking lot under the high tension power line.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj west, then follow the old road towards Ljubljana. Towards the end of Kranj, at the last traffic light, turn right towards Stražišče. From the roundabout where the road to Šmarjetna gora turns right, continue "straight on" (second exit). Continue along Škofjeloško road, then from the slightly larger junction turn right towards Sv. Jošta above Kranj and Čepulje. When Kranj ends, park in the marked parking lot under the high tension power line.
c) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj east, then follow the signs for Škofja Loka. Leave the road towards Škofja Loka at the point where the signs for Stražišče and Šmarjetna gora direct you to the right. Continue along Škofjeloško road, leaving at a slightly larger junction and continuing left towards Sv. Jošto above Kranj and Čepulje (the road signs are only from the opposite direction). When Kranj ends, park in the marked parking area under the high tension power line.
d) Drive into Škofja Loka, then continue to Kranj. When Zgornje Bitnje ends, turn left in the direction of Stražišče and Šmarjetna gora. Continue along Škofjeloško road, which you leave at a slightly larger junction and continue left in the direction of Sv. Jošto above Kranj and Čepulje (the road signs are only from the opposite direction). When Kranj ends, park in the marked parking area under the high-voltage power line.

Path description:
From the end of the parking lot, continue slightly to the right along the marked path towards Sv. Jošto. The winding path initially leads under a high-voltage power line, but splits when you reach the edge of the forest.
Continue slightly to the right along the unmarked path (straight ahead to Sv. Jošt), which crosses the route of the high-voltage power line a little further on. On the other side of the power line, the path returns to the forest, where it leads us past an abandoned trim trail, and a little higher up, we pass a goat house and a farmhouse on the left. The trail then turns slightly further to the left, and then climbs gently for a while to the left. When you join the path from Rakovica, the path turns right and starts to climb more steeply. There is some more ascent through the forest, and then you join the asphalt road, which continues the ascent to the nearby summit of Šmarjetna gora.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (February).
