Path description:
From the parking lot, first cross the road carefully, then turn onto Sodarjeva cesta (Sodarjeva cesta), which initially climbs parallel to the road, but after a small meadow turns slightly right and enters a dense forest. Before leaving the woods and entering a slightly larger meadow, the Friends of St. Jost trail joins from the right, and above the meadow the trail returns to the woods. In the forest the path splits, and we take the left, steeper path (straight ahead past the chapel, the valley path and Rakovica), which splits again after a few minutes' ascent.
We take the right path, which is marked "to the bench", and we start to climb steeper through the forest. The path ahead leads us along a wooded ridge, which quickly leads us to the Puščava Jošt Home, after which we first join the path past the chapel on the right, and a few steps further on, the path down the stairs on the left.
Continue along the wide path, which opens up to beautiful views just below the summit. Follow this path all the way to the nearby summit, where you will find the Dom na Joštu and the Church of St. Jošta.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2018 (February).
