St. Jošt above Kranj

This morning was ideal for cycling. I chose St. Jošt as the goal, which is very popular among cyclists; due to the last climb eek

it is also a demanding goal.
I started from Železniki and in Selci turned into the climb towards Topolje and through Zabrekve to St. Mohor, where I reached the highest point of the trip. Then followed a path (a bit down, a bit up) through the forest on forest paths and tracks to Čepulje and a short descent to Javornik, where the more demanding ascent to Jošt begins. At the top, well-deserved refreshment velik nasmeh

. The descent was first on the road, then a bit of variety on the forest path, which brings us back to the parking lot at Čepulje. From there over Strmica to Ševelje and Dolenje vas, where I cross the main road and along Sora back to the starting point. I did a bit less than 33 km and 890 meters of elevation. Average climb was 8%, max 21% eek

. I rode a bit over 2 hours. Nice tour, which at the right pace is not that demanding.

Jošt is really suitable for any hour of the day. Even if it drizzles a bit, that shouldn't bother us. Yesterday afternoon I did a botanical ramble around Jošt and it was really interesting. I found flowers that I didn't expect here at all. I started classically on the main road to Jošt and went via Sodarjeva path, which is quite varied. At the top of course lots of hikers. On the way back I returned via the road to see a bit more of the whole Jošt local community.
