Grmada is the western summit of Šmarna Gora and its trails reward with superb views towards the Kamnik and Julian Alps, as well as across the Ljubljana region. Its summit was once used for beacon fires to warn of Turkish invaders. Between the summit and the church-adorned top of Šmarna Gora is a nature trail with information boards about the hill's various plant and animal species.

Šmarna Gora Summit

Highlight • Summit

There are two restaurants at the summit. Unfortunately, there are no views to the north, and they can be a bit crowded on holidays.
At Rasica (about 4 km east), there is a viewing tower with a 360° panoramic view and fewer people.
