Path description:
From the parking lot we first carefully cross the road, then head to Sodarjeva pot, which initially ascends parallel to the road, after a smaller meadow turns slightly right and enters a dense forest. Before we step out of the forest onto a somewhat larger meadow, the Pot prijateljev Sv. Jošta path also joins us from the right, above the meadow the path returns to the forest. In the forest the path splits, we choose the left, steeper one (straight: path past the chapel, path through the valley and Rakovica), which after a few minutes of ascent splits again.
We choose the left path again, along which there are signs "po stopnicah" (via stairs), and we begin to ascend diagonally, on a shorter section also over a few stairs.
Higher we reach a wide cart track, where most of the previously mentioned paths join us, we follow the wide path, from which nice views open a little below the summit, all the way to the top, where the Dom na Joštu hut and the church of Sv. Jošt are located.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in 2018 (February).
