Path description:
By the bus stop we notice signs for path Romarska pot on Šmarna gora, which point us on a slightly ascending road. The path at first leads on street Ulica bratov Novak, after that only a little behind troughs with water, which we notice on the left side, we leave the road and we continue slightly left on at first a wide cart track. After a short ascent, the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose right marked cart track which gradually starts ascending steeper. We continue on and by the cart track which in a moderate ascent leads through the forest. Higher, we join the path from Šmartno, and only a little further we get to a marked crossing at the chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows.
At the chapel, we continue right, and the path quickly brings us to the next crossing, where we continue left upwards in the direction of the path Partizanska steza on Šmarna gora.
From the crossing ahead, the path becomes steeper and passes on much steeper slopes, which are mainly in snow and ice dangerous for slipping. Further, we are ascending in zig-zags on a steep slope, well made and maintained path, after a time brings us to a bench, from which a nice view opens up towards the valley. Above the bench, the path passes on a ridge, on which we ascend right below the peak of Šmarna gora. Here the path from the ridge passes on a slope, over which in few 10 strides of additional walking, we ascend to the summit of Šmarna gora.
