In 1950, the Triglav Ski Club built a lodge on Jošt, a hill 845 metres above sea level and a popular recreational spot for Kranj. For almost a decade now, Tina in Matjaž, the Sedej couple, run the lodge and make sure there is always something new on the menu.
“Jošt is a way of life,” is something that can be often heard at the top of this hill. And this way of life includes not only the dynamic kitchen where many delicacies are created but also recreation, music, socialising and the view.
Matjaž Sedej, a chef with many years of experience, is in charge of the kitchen. “I’ve always wanted to cook here,” explains the chef, who went to a cooking school in Paris and later worked in London and New Zealand.
They cook stews (“jota,” goulash, veal stew, “ričet,” etc.), as well as other delicacies (house-made pasta, pork ribs with potato salad, and meat and meatless dishes), salads, soups and desserts. Other food can be prepared to order. Our tip: arrange for fish or risotto.
What about drinks? Juices are from Gorenjska, wines are brought by the Kristančič family from Medana in the Goriška Brda region, and there’s “krokodilček” – a local beer brewed for the Dom na Joštu in the nearby Advocatus brewery.
Perhaps another tip: there are numerous hiking trails leading up to Jošt, while the extremely steep winding road is a challenge even for well-prepared cyclists.
