Bizeljska vas - Svete gore (by road)

Access to the starting point:
a) From Brežice or Krško, drive to Bizeljsko and from there continue to Bistrica ob Sotli. When you reach a small pass, leave the main road and drive left towards Sveti Gory. Park in a suitable place just after the crossroads. Parking on the roadside is forbidden above the crossroads.
b) From the route of Šentjur, Šmarje pri Jelšah or Rogaška Slatina, drive to Kozjansko or as far as Bistrica ob Sotli, from where you continue to Bizeljsko. When you reach the pass between Bizeljsko and Kozjansko, turn sharp right towards the Sanctuary of the Holy Mountain. Park in a suitable place just after the crossroads. Parking on the roadside is forbidden higher up.

Path description:
From where we parked, we continue along the ascending asphalt road towards Sveti Gory. The road quickly turns to the mostly northern and forested slopes of the summit of Rožce (619 m). As we climb through the forest, a path branches off to the right to the chapel of the Foot of God, some 10 metres away, and we continue straight ahead along the road, which then leads us out of the forest, where a beautiful view opens up towards the Church of the Mother of God on Sveti Gory. There is a short walk to a crossroads by a former mountain lodge, where you continue right to a nearby ramp.
At the ramp, a marked footpath continues to the left, and we continue straight past the ramp and along a fairly steep road that leads us past the Stations of the Cross. The sculpturally beautifully crafted stations then follow us up a considerable slope to the summit, where there are a large number of church buildings.
