Access to starting point:
A) From Ljubljana, we drive on the old road towards Kranj, and there we stick to the main road, and we follow it to the bridge over the river Sava. Just before the bridge we leave the main road and we continue driving straight in the direction of Besnica. Ahead we drive to the village Rakovica, where on an appropriate place by bus stop we also park.
B) From Jesenice or Bled, we drive on the highway towards Ljubljana, and we follow it to exit Kranj - west. We continue driving on the old regional road towards Ljubljana, and we are driving there to Kranj, where immediately after the bridge over the river Sava we turn right in the direction of Besnica. Ahead we drive to the village Rakovica, where on an appropriate place by bus stop we also park.
Path description:
From the parking lot by the bus stop, we go on an asphalt road in the direction of village Zabukovje. The road soon turns right in the forest, where it moderately ascends and it brings us to the smaller crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Sveti Jošt. For some time we still continue on the road, by which we notice few individual blazes, and then past few houses and a well it brings us to the unmarked crossroad. Here we continue on the left "main" road which only few 10 strides higher brings us to a smaller hamlet, where blazes point us to the right between two houses. Behind the houses, we leave the road and we continue the ascent left on a marked footpath which at first ascends through a meadow, and then passes into the forest, through which it is quite some time ascending on a cart track. Cart track higher changes into a steeper footpath, and it brings us to a marked crossing, where from the left the path from the village Stražišče joins.
Here we continue right in the direction of Sveti Jošt and we continue in a diagonal ascent towards the right. A little higher we get to a bigger chapel and above it also to the cottage Dom Puščava (Društvo Rod zelenega Jošta).
Near the mentioned cottage there is another chapel, by which stands a mountain signpost, which informs us, that for the ascent on Jošt we can choose the left gentle, or right steep path. No matter, which path we choose, in few minutes we get to the top.
