Svatá hora is located on the red-marked tourist path that leads here from the Ořechov train station. It is 4 km with a steady gentle climb. It is a prominent wooded peak, which, with its height of 679 m above sea level, is the highest point in the wide area. At its top is a wooden gazebo where a statue of St. Zdislava, who was to be born in nearby Křižanov. During her lifetime, she devoted herself to the sick and suffering and was very popular for that. For her merits, she was canonized by Pope John Paul II in Olomouc in 1995. and she also became the patron saint of the town of Křižanova. The local pilgrimage is bound for the Sunday around the feast of St. Zdislavy, which falls on May 30. In front of it, in the early evening on Saturday, young and old go on foot to Stáva Hora, making crosses from found pieces of wood along the way. The pilgrimage culminates with a service at the top of the hill at the gazebo.
There are also information boards describing this place in the gazebo. There is also a top book here.
