Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, take the Ljubljana-Šmartno exit, then continue driving towards Tacen. In Tacen, just before the road over the bridge crosses the Sava river, continue slightly right in the direction of Pirniče. A little after Ljubljana ends, arrive in Vikrče, a little further to Spodnje Pirniče, and follow the road to club Lipa, where park on a large parking lot intended for visitors of Šmarna gora (parking price is 1.5 eur/h - December 2012).
B) From Šentvid drive to Tacen, there immediately after the bridge over the Sava river left towards Pirniče. Just a little after Ljubljana ends, arrive in Vikrče, a little further to Spodnje Pirniče, and follow the road to club Lipa, where park on a large parking lot intended for visitors of Šmarna gora (parking price is 1.5 eur/h - December 2012).
C) From Medvode drive to Zgornje and then to Spodnje Pirniče, and follow the road to club Lipa, where park on a large parking lot intended for visitors of Šmarna gora (parking price is 1.5 eur/h - December 2012).
Route 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.
Along the route: Na Sedlu (580m)

Is the parking lot more expensive than in the center of Ljubljana?

Parking costs 1.5€/hour. With the ticket you are entitled to half price tea at the top.

I'll brew you tea for free, if you park in my yard for 1.5 euros per hour.

If you don't park at the mentioned parking lot, it's not possible to take this trail, as the start of the trail is private (that's what the probable owner of the parking lot said). We then continued along the road and in the village Zavrh followed the signs for Šmarna gora (gravel road).

Yes, I also experienced an "attack" from the owner here, claiming that the parking lot cannot be crossed on foot if you didn't park there. He demanded 2 euros from me for passage and I politely told him to go somewhere  it's interesting that he has a sign in front of the parking "Trail to Šmarna gora"... interesting
Otherwise, no need to go by the road. A bit further, below the farm, there's another parking lot, go past it and right away behind it to the right on an unmarked trail, which higher up joins the mentioned road to ŠG and soon the trail over Peske joins from the right. Might come in handy sometime
