Access to starting point:
From Horjul or Dobrova we drive to Polhov Gradec, and then we continue driving towards Črni Vrh. A little above Polhov Gradec, at the crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Mala and Velika Božna, we continue straight in the direction of Selo and Škofja Loka (left Črni Vrh). Further, we drive by the stream Mala Božna, and then by the road we notice mountain signposts for Selo, Tošč and Črni Vrh, by which we also park.
Path description:
On the opposite side of the parking lot, we notice a macadam road (direction Selo, Tošč, Črni Vrh and Gabrše), and we follow it only few 10 meters and then signs for the footpath point us slightly to the left on a cart track which is ascending by stream Selanov potok. By mentioned stream we are ascending for quite some time, and then blazes point us on the left side (right bank) of the stream. Cart track only a little further turns sharply to the left and after few minutes of additional walking brings us out of the forest on a wide meadow. After that, the path turns sharply to the right and is further ascending diagonally on the more and more panoramic slopes. After approximately 45 minutes of walking from the starting point, we step on the road which we follow to the right (left Ogrin, Črni Vrh, Pasja ravan and Sveti Ožbolt). Further, we are ascending only for a short time, and after we bypass some houses it gradually start descending. After a short descent, we come to a crossroad by quarry and chapel. Here we continue right in the direction of Tošč and on a slightly ascending road in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to the church of St. Jedert.
From St. Jedert we continue left, at first through a panoramic meadow, which ends by a lane of thin forest. We continue the ascent on easy to follow path, which for some time is still ascending by the edge of steeper meadows, and then the path passes into a dense forest, where gradually flattens. Higher, the path turns a little towards the right and gradually passes on northwestern forested ridge of Tošč, where from the left joins even less visited path from the homestead Vodnik. The path ahead in a moderate ascent crosses some panoramic slopes, and then it starts ascending steeper. This in the last part a little more steep path, we then follow all the way to the top of Tošč, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
