The Church of the St. Cross (sv. Križ) on the 857 m high summit to the east of Lake Cerknica has long invited hikers and pilgrims. You can head to Mount Križna gora from several directions. From the Loška Dolina direction you can reach the summit by passing the chapels on the Way of the Cross (križev pot), and you can also, in addition to the ascent to the mountain, decide to visit Križna Cave and start the hike right from the parking lot in front of it.

A map of all hiking trails in the mystical land of Lake Cerknica can be purchased at the Visitor Center Lake Cerknica at an affordable price of 2.00 €.
