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, we get to the village Javornik, from which road branches off to the right towards the top of Jošt, and we continue straight in the direction of village Čepulje. When we come in Čepulje we continue right (left Planica and Lavtarski Vrh) and we continue driving for approximately 100 meters to a 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 we continue right in the direction of the settlement Ševlje and Bukovščica. After Bukovščica the road starts steeply ascending, and meanwhile it leads us through the settlement Strmica. After the mentioned settlement an asphalt for some time ends, and when it again appears, we quickly get to a marked parking lot, which is situated 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 we continue left in the direction of the settlement Šavlje and forward towards Bukovščica. After Bukovščica the road starts steeply ascending, and meanwhile it leads us through the settlement Strmica. After the mentioned settlement an asphalt for some time ends, and when it again appears, we quickly get to a marked parking lot, which is situated 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 point us on ascending forest road, and at the beginning of the mentioned road we continue sharply right, on the path which leads towards Sveti Jošt (turn-off towards Sveti Joštu isn't marked). At first, we moderately ascend through a lane of a forest, and when we step out of the forest, the path leads us gently upwards, by the right edge of an ample meadow. On the other side of the meadow from the right joins also the marked path which leads from Planica towards Sveti Jošt, and we follow it to the left and few steps higher we step into the forest. In the forest, we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue right (left Špičasti hrib and Sveti Mohor). Next follows a short crossing, and then the footpath widens into a cart track, on which we descend to the nearby water supply structure, from where we continue straight in the forest. From footpath which leads through the forest we quickly ascend to an asphalt road which we follow to the left, and we walk there to first right turn, and from there straight on a cart track. Further at first we are gently ascending, and after few crossings, where we follow the blazes, we ascend even a little steeper. The steep ascent cuts an asphalt road which leads towards the summit, and we continue straight across the road, on the path which continues on the more and more panoramic grassy slope. After further shorter ascent we reach the mountain hut Dom na Joštu, and few 10 strides ahead also church of St. Jošt.
