Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranj (Labore), and from there we continue driving in the direction of Stražišče, Pševa and Sveti Jošt above Kranj. Higher up, we reach the village Javornik, from which a road branches off to the right towards the top of Jošt, and we continue straight in the direction of the village Čepulje. When we arrive in Čepulje, we continue right (left Planica and Lavtarski Vrh) and continue driving for approximately 100 m to the marked parking lot.
B) We drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. After the settlement Bukovica, we leave the main road towards Železniki and continue right in the direction of the settlement Ševlje and Bukovščica. After Bukovščica, the road starts to ascend steeply, meanwhile leading us through the settlement Strmica. After the mentioned settlement, the asphalt temporarily ends, and when it reappears, we quickly arrive at the marked parking lot, which is located only a little before the beginning of the village Čepulje.
C) First, we drive to Železniki, and then we continue driving towards Škofja Loka. In Dolenja vas or a little after it, we leave the main road and continue left in the direction of the settlement Šavlje and further towards Bukovščica. After Bukovščica, the road starts to ascend steeply, meanwhile leading us through the settlement Strmica. After the mentioned settlement, the asphalt temporarily ends, and when it reappears, we quickly arrive at the marked parking lot, which is located only a little before the beginning of the village Čepulje.
Path description:
On the west side of the parking lot, we notice signs for Špičasti hrib and Sveti Mohor, which direct us to an ascending forest road, but at the beginning of the mentioned road we continue sharply right onto the path leading towards Sveti Jošt (the turn-off to Sveti Jošt is not marked). Initially, we ascend moderately through a strip of forest, then, when we step out of the forest, the path leads us gently upwards along the right edge of a vast meadow. On the other side of the meadow, a marked path leading from Planica towards Sveti Jošt joins from the right, which we follow to the left, and a few steps higher we step into the forest. In the forest, we quickly reach a marked junction, where we continue right (left Špičasti hrib and Sveti Mohor). A short traverse follows, then the trail widens into a cart track, down which we descend to the nearby water supply facility, from where we continue straight into the forest. From the trail leading through the forest, we quickly ascend to the asphalt road, which we follow to the left to the first right bend, from there straight onto the cart track. Continuing, we first ascend gently, then after a few junctions where we follow the blazes, somewhat more steeply. The steep ascent is crossed by an asphalt road leading towards the summit, but we continue straight across the road onto the path which continues over an increasingly panoramic grassy slope. After a further short ascent, we reach Dom na Joštu, a few dozen steps ahead also the church of sv. Jošta.
