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 we continue left (straight - Svete gore on the road or on the Way of the cross) on a marked hiking path, which quickly passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are for a short time ascending on a slightly overgrown path, and then we already get to the first of five church buildings. First, we ascend past the chapel of St. Martin and chapel of St. Jurij, and then also past the church of Holy Mother of God, and behind it past the chapel of St. Sebastijan and Fabijan to the highest point, where there stands the chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes, from which there is also a nice view towards Kozjansko and Obsotelje.
