Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Medvode, and then along the old road we drive to Kranj, where at the first traffic light we turn left in the direction of Stražišče and Šmarjetna gora. From the roundabout, where the road towards Šmarjetna gora branches off to the right, we continue "straight ahead" (second exit). We then drive along Škofjeloška cesta, and from a somewhat larger crossroads we turn right in the direction of Sveti Jošt above Kranj and Čepulj. We follow the ascending road to the beginning of the settlement Javornik, where we park in a suitable place beside the road.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana motorway we take the Kranj west exit, and then along the old road towards Ljubljana. Towards the end of Kranj, at the last traffic light we turn right in the direction of Stražišče. From the roundabout, where the road towards Šmarjetna gora branches off to the right, we continue "straight ahead" (second exit). We then drive along Škofjeloška cesta, and from a somewhat larger crossroads we turn right in the direction of Sveti Jošt above Kranj and Čepulj. We follow the ascending road to the beginning of the settlement Javornik, where we park in a suitable place beside the road.
C) From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway we take the Kranj east exit, and then we follow the signs for Škofja Loka. We leave the road towards Škofja Loka at the spot where the signs for Stražišče and Šmarjetna gora direct us to the right. We then drive along Škofjeloška cesta, which at a somewhat larger crossroads we leave and continue left in the direction of Sveti Jošt above Kranj and Čepulj (road signs are only from the opposite direction). We follow the ascending road to the beginning of the settlement Javornik, where we park in a suitable place beside the road.

We then drive along Škofjeloška cesta, which at a somewhat larger crossroads we leave and continue left in the direction of Sveti Jošt above Kranj and Čepulj (road signs are only from the opposite direction). We follow the ascending road to the beginning of the settlement Javornik, where we park in a suitable place beside the road.
Path description:
A few steps before the beginning of the settlement Javornik we continue on the marked path, which first ascends the stairs, then turns left and continues ascending transversely through the forest. A few minutes of ascent through the forest follow, then we reach the asphalt road that leads towards the summit of Sveti Jošt above Kranj. We follow the road to the right, and soon from the left a marked path from Čepulj joins us.
From here until the first bend we walk along the road, then we continue straight into the forest, through which the marked path continues. Further on we first ascend gently, then after a few junctions, where we follow the blazes, even a little steeper. The steep ascent is crossed by the asphalt road that leads towards the summit, but we continue straight across the road onto the path that continues across the increasingly panoramic grassy slope. After a further short ascent we reach the Dom na Joštu hut, a few dozen steps further the church of sv. Jošta.
