Mazijeva Steza Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mazijeva steza (Mazi's path) reveals some superb views across the Sava to the wooded hills west of Ljubljana. There's some wonderful rock scenery here too. It's not far from the top of the Pogačnik via ferrata route, an adventurous way to ascend Šmarna Gora and not one for the faint-hearted.
