Path description:
By the chapel we notice the beginning of bad cart track which starts ascending on moderately steep grassy slopes. A little higher, the cart track turns slightly to the left and it ascends to the edge of the forest. Here the path at first turns left, after that immediately right. Further, we are ascending through the forest, on a gradually steeper path. A little higher we will on the right side notice a fence, which can help us at the ascent (undemanding). When the fence ends path flattens and it brings us to the church of Our Lady of Sorrows on Žalostna gora.
