Path description:
From the parking lot continue on the marked path that starts on the south side of the parking lot. The path first leads through a passage between spruces, then transitions to fields and meadows through which we gently ascend. After a few minutes the path enters the forest, through which we gradually start to ascend more steeply. For some time we ascend steeply, then the path flattens and brings us to the place where we join the relatively steep road leading from Zavrh to Šmarna gora.
Continue the ascent along the road, which further leads past the NOB monument and a few meters ahead past the plague or Turkish sign. Higher up, the road turns slightly more to the left and leads us from 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 follows to the marked junction Na Sedlu.
Here continue left along the road, which soon splits into two parts. The ascent can continue along the road, in which case we reach the summit past the wish bell, or continue right along the marked footpath, which past the chapel of St. Sobota also leads to the summit of Šmarna gora.
