Begunje (Krpin) - Smokuški vrh (by road)

Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Radovljica or Lesce, and then we follow the signs for Begunje na Gorenjskem. When we get to Begunje na Gorenjskem, at first we still follow the signs for Tržič and Draga, and after the hospital we turn left in the direction of recreation center Krpin, to which we get to after approximately 100 meters of additional driving. We park on a large parking lot by the mentioned recreation center.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which is lightly ascending and past a religious symbol in few minutes brings us to water plant Mravlinc, where it is also possible to park. Here on the asphalt road we cross the bridge and we ascend to the last house, where the road becomes a macadam and turns right. Only a little further, we get to a crossroad, where the path branches off to the left, which leads to the church of St. Peter, and we continue straight and past the water catchment we get to the next crossroad, where we go sharply left in the direction of St. Peter and Sankaška koča (straight road which leads towards the Blatnica gorge).
Next follows a steep ascent on the macadam road which higher makes few hairpin turns, and when it eventually splits we continue slightly right (left road leads towards the church of St. Peter).
The road only a little further changes into a cart track, and at the crossings we follow it straight or we stick to slightly right turn-offs. All turn-offs higher reach a marked path, and we follow it to the right, and there we ascend to turn off, where the path on Smokuški vrh branches off to the left (on the tree caption S.V.).
From the marked path we continue left in the direction of S.V. and we go on a little narrower cart track. At the nearby crossing, we choose the bottom cart track, and then follows a shorter crossing. When the crossing ends, cart track passes into a forest path, and there we in few minutes ascend on a panoramic peak.
