Saint Jošt above Kranj is a popular day-trip spot just minutes from Kranj’s center. Visit Kranj’s official page describes it as an 845 m hilltop escape for nature, views, and a short hike. You can reach the summit on foot via several routes or by car from the Kranj side or from the direction of Zgornja Besnica.

At the top stands the church of St Jošt, and the visit can be combined with a stop at Dom na Joštu for food or a drink. Even though it is close to town, the climb feels like a proper break from city life, which is why locals often choose it for a half-day outing.

The Municipality of Kranj has arranged seven parking areas below Jošt with a total of 96 spaces. Parking is allowed only in marked spaces; parking along the road is forbidden. The daily fee is 2 EUR for 24 hours, with a 50 EUR annual permit, payable at the parking machines and via EasyPark. Check the official municipal page before you go in case the rules or prices have changed. ([kranj.si](https://www.kranj.si/parkiranje-pod-jostom-dva-evra-na-dan))
Wear proper shoes, because some routes are forest paths and can be steeper. Families often choose the road access or a shorter approach from the higher parking areas. For opening times of the inn or any seasonal changes, always check the official source. ([domnajostu.si](https://www.domnajostu.si/kako-do-nas))
