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 streams 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 after a time we continue right in the direction of village Selo (second turn-off to the right from the spot when we left the road which leads to Črni Vrh). Further, we drive on a quite steep road which higher flattens out, and after a short descent brings us to Selo. Here we continue right (straight Sv. Ožbolt) and we follow the road only a good 100 meters to the parking lot by the chapel.
Access is also possible from the Škofja Loka side.
Route description:
From the parking lot by the chapel we go on the road by which we notice signs for Tošč and church of sv. Jedert. The road which is barely ascending quickly brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we notice the church of sv. Jedert, which we reach after a few minutes of additional walking.
From sv. Jedert we continue left, at first through a panoramic grassy hay meadow, which ends by a belt of sparse forest. We continue the ascent on a nicely traceable path, which for some time is still ascending by the edge of even steeper grassy hay meadows, and then it passes into a dense forest, where it gradually levels out. Higher, the path turns a little towards the right and gradually passes onto the northwestern forested ridge of Tošč. The path ahead in a moderate ascent crosses some panoramic slopes, and then it starts ascending steeper. We follow this path, somewhat steeper in the last part, all the way to the top of Tošč, which we reach after a few minutes of additional walking.

 Oh, this Tošč started tempting me.

At that time I wasn't yet enthusiastic about the hills.

Hello,
if descending from Tošč along the same path as ascended and described here, you can make a detour. At the 'VODNIK' sign on the beech (photo in path description), continue right along the hunting trail. After a few minutes, when on the ridge and spot the farm on the left, head down the steep meadow past the house to the forest path. Keep left and return to the start at the chapel. This path is perhaps a bit more shady and thus welcome in summer heat.

The path is completely dry. Otherwise, it's a pleasant, easy and short hike. In winter, when there are no leaves on the trees, beautiful views open up along the path towards Polhograjske Hills and Škofja Loka side.

Since the road from PG to Selo described above was so icy at one bend today that I couldn't continue with the car to the top, I went back a few 100m and left the car at the sign (Gabrje?) at the 'Tošč 2h' marker and went up that path. Super, nice, dry, sunny path. In the first lower section there are enough markers, then it turns into the hill towards the village, before the village to the right, past one house, soon we reach the chapel and the parking lot described above.

Yesterday I went on this trail. The road from PG to Selo is very icy at the lower end on the first two bends (2nd turnoff right), so I went back to Škofja Loka instead.
In winter time better access is from Škofja Loka, without chains on the car from PG it's hard to get up, downhill, due to the steep winding road, is even more dangerous. l.p.

No need to drive to Selo (windy roads, steep unpaved sections), instead leave the car at Mala Božna (paved for about 3 km) it is marked this is from Polhov Gradec further in the direction of Zaloga-črnega vrha. Also from the direction of Škofje Loke the road is not fully paved. As far as I can see, this description is not there yet.

From the direction of Škofja Loka to Selo it is now fully asphalted.
