Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Celje we go to the exit Vransko. We continue driving on the old road in the direction of Ljubljana, but only to a spot, where the road towards Vransko branches off to the right. On the west side of Vransko we will notice a road which goes towards the village Prapreče and Vologa. The road that starts ascending steeper we follow through the village Vologa to a saddle Lipa, where we park on one of the parking lots.
Possible is also access from the valley Zadrečka dolina.
Path description:
From the saddle Lipa we go on a footpath in the direction of St. Jošt. The path which runs on a cart track at the beginning steeply ascends, after that steepness decreases a little. Next follows a diagonal ascent through the forest on the path which after a little less than 30 minutes of walking gets closer to a forest road which we notice a little above the marked path. Further, we are for some time ascending parallel with the road, and then we join it and we follow it to the right. After few additional strides path brings us out of the forest on panoramic meadows. Here, the path branches off to the left upwards towards the church of St. Gervazij and Protazij to which there is a little less than 3 minutes of walking.
And we continue straight on the road which only a little further brings us to the inscription box at the church of St. Jošt.
