Path description:
A few steps before the beginning of Javornik, continue along the marked path, which first climbs up the stairs, then turns left and continues to climb crosswise through the forest. After a few minutes of climbing through the forest, you will reach an asphalt road leading to the top of Sv. Jošto above Kranj. Follow the road to the right, and the marked path from Čepulj soon joins from the left.
From here, follow the road until the first bend, then continue straight into the forest, through which the waymarked trail continues. The trail continues uphill, climbing gently at first, and then a little steeper after a few crossroads where you follow the markings. The steep ascent is cut by an asphalt road leading to the summit, and we continue straight across the road, onto a path that continues over an increasingly scenic grassy slope. After a further short climb, we reach the Dom na Joštu, and a few 10 steps further on, the Church of St. Jošta.
