    Full description
    Discover the beauty of the countryside by hiking up the most popular hill on the Sunny Side of the Alps, to Šmarna gora. Besides the magnificent scenery from the top, you will also enjoy local cuisine.  The tour will start in the morning, first with transfer from your accommodation to the foot of the mountain. From here you will start with a hike which will take around 1 hour. Along the way you can listen to stories from your guide about the Turkish invasions in the 15th century and the famous story about the church bell on the top of Šmarna Gora, which rings half an hour earlier than bells in other churches.  At the top you will taste local delicacies in traditional Slovenian Restaurant and enjoy the view over one third of Slovenia. After lunch, go down to the valley, again about 1 hour of moderate walking. This hike is of medium difficulty. Enjoy a food hike, that is guided by a friendly local, who knows about the history of the surrounding area.

    Treated like a guest and family all at the same time! Alenka was the most gracious guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our day in the beautiful mountain air. The climb was quite a workout, definitely not a leisurely stroll, but after days of traveling, the exercise was just what we needed. And the company was delightful!

    I really enjoyed this day trip. I love to hike, so this definitely appealed to me. It was a nice way to explore an area outside of Ljubljana and do something that is popular among locals. The hike was challenging, but not too strenuous, and the weather was beautiful. Tour guide was awesome. I really enjoyed the views at the top and traditional food that was served to us. Highly recommend
