Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a marked path which starts on the south side of the parking lot. The path first leads through a passage among spruces, then passes among fields and meadows, over which we gently ascend. After a few minutes, the path enters the forest, through which it gradually begins to ascend more steeply. For some time we ascend steeply, then the path flattens and brings us to the spot where we join the relatively steep road which leads from Zavrh towards Šmarna gora.
We continue the ascent on the road which further leads past the NOB monument and a few meters ahead past the plague or Turkish column. Higher, the road turns somewhat more to the left and brings us out of the forest onto panoramic slopes. With a view of the summit of Šmarna gora and the Kamnik Savinja Alps we quickly reach the Gorjanc homestead, from which a short walk to the marked junction Na Sedlu follows.
From the saddle we continue right downwards towards Tacen (left Šmarna gora), when the path enters the forest we continue right towards Grmada. We continue the ascent on a somewhat steeper path, which first ascends through the forest, then passes onto a partly panoramic ridge, along which in a few dozen steps of further walking we ascend to the summit of Grmada.
On the way: Na Sedlu (580m)
