Povodje - Šmarna gora (via Sedlo)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Ljubljana - Šmartno, and we follow the road to the mentioned settlement, where we turn right onto the road which leads towards Vodice. Further, we drive towards Vodice, and at the first intersection after the overpass over the highway we turn right, where after 100 meters of driving we arrive at the fish farm Povodje. At the starting point there are no arranged parking spots, but we can find a suitable place somewhere nearby.

Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the initially overgrown path in the direction of Šmarna gora, along which in a few dozen steps we climb to the overpass over the highway. Along the sidewalk we walk to the other side of the highway, there we carefully cross the road, and then we head onto the marked footpath which continues along the wire fence. At first we walk along the overgrown path, then we join the cart track, which for quite some time continues parallel to the highway. After a short gentle descent the cart track turns to the left, but we continue alongside the highway. The relatively poorly marked path then turns to the left and brings us to a large meadow. Here we continue slightly to the right and almost along the edge of the meadow we walk to the nearby forest, where we join the somewhat better marked path from Skaručna. Here we continue left, we cross the stream Gračenica, and then we begin to ascend gently. The path ahead leads us under the power line, a little further it returns to the forest and crosses the macadam road. Somewhat above the road we join the rough track, along which we gradually begin to ascend more and more steeply. Higher we leave the cart track and along a somewhat steeper path in a few minutes we climb to the path which almost encircles Šmarna gora. We follow the mentioned path to the right, which brings us over relatively steep slopes to Turkovo znamenje.
Here we continue straight ahead (left steeply upwards to Šmarna gora - steep path) and continue along the path which ascends transversely. Higher the path turns even more to the left and brings us out of the forest onto grassy slopes. Here first we cross the pasture fence, then with a view of Grmada we walk to the junction, where we join the poorer road which leads to the summit of Šmarna gora. We follow the mentioned road to the left and along it in a few minutes we climb to the summit.
