Bizeljska vas - Svete gore (by road)

Access to starting point:
A) From Brežice or Krško we drive to Bizeljsko, and from there we continue driving towards Bistrica ob Sotli. When we get to a smaller mountain pass we leave the main road and we continue left towards Svete gore. We park on an appropriate place immediately after the crossroad. Higher by the road the parking is prohibited.
B) From the direction Šentjur, Šmarje pri Jelšah or Rogaška Slatina we drive to Kozjansko or all the way to the settlement Bistrica ob Sotli, and from there we continue driving towards Bizeljsko. When we get to the saddle between Bizeljsko and Kozjansko, we continue sharply right in the direction of shrine Svete gore. We park on an appropriate place immediately after the crossroad. Higher by the road the parking is prohibited.

Path description:
From the spot, where we've parked, we continue on an ascending asphalt road in the direction of Svete gore. The road on which we walk quickly passes on the mostly northern and with a forest covered slopes of the peak Rožca (619 meters). During the ascent through the forest, the path branches off to the right towards a few 10 meters distant chapel Božja noga, and we continue straight, further on the road which then brings us out of the forest, from where a nice view opens up towards the church of the Holy Mother of God on Svete gore. Next follows a short walk to a crossroad at the former mountain hut, where we continue right to the nearby gate.
At the gate to the left continues a marked footpath, and we continue straight past a gate and we continue on a quite steep road which leads us past the Stations of the Cross. Nicely crafted stations, then in the substantial steepness are accompanying us all the way to the top, on which there is situated a larger number of ecclesiastical buildings.
