Path description:
From the parking lot we continue along the road along which we parked, which after a few steps leads us to a crossroads. Continue along the road (left footpath), which climbs quite steeply and after about 1 hour's walk brings you to a large parking lot. Here you continue to the right and in a few steps climb to the top of Svatá gora, where the pilgrimage church stands.
The climb up the road is suitable for rainy days. On weekends and church holidays, the road is full of cars.
