Čatež ob Savi - Sveti Vid (Šentviška gora)

Access to starting point:
a) Exit the Dolenjska motorway at the Čatež ob Savi exit, then at the roundabout select the exit for Čatež ob Savi and Brežice. Continue on the road running parallel to the motorway. When the main road turns right into the underpass, we turn left towards the centre of Čatež ob Savi (direction Cerklje ob Krki). Drive through the settlement, just before Gostilna Pension Les turn sharply right onto Rimska cesta. After a short ascent, arrive at the church of St. George, where a few parking spaces are available. You can park here or continue approximately 100 metres to a larger parking lot at the end of the road, located near the former Motel Čatež.
b) Drive to Brežice and follow the signs for Čatež ob Savi. Immediately after the underpass under the motorway, turn into the centre of the settlement. Before Gostilna Pension Les, turn sharply right onto Rimska cesta. Drive along it to the church of St. George, where parking spaces are provided, or continue another 100 metres to the parking lot at the former Motel Čatež, where the road ends.

Route description:
From where we parked, first walk to the end of the road, then turn left onto the footpath. This ascends along the edge of the meadow to a cart track, where we step onto the marked trail. The latter actually starts near Gostilna Pension Les, but there are no parking spaces for hikers there.
Follow the trail to the right to the edge of the forest, where a junction awaits. Here a path branches off to the left leading along the stations of the way of the cross, but we continue straight on the path marked with Knafelc markers. The path enters the forest, where we soon turn left onto a marked footpath that ascends somewhat more steeply, higher up rejoining the cart track (which in the meantime makes a longer left serpentine).
Continue following the markers and signs to sv. Vid. Higher up the path leads through a small valley, after which we reach a marked junction on a small pass. Here turn left (right Veliki Cirnik) and via one of the two parallel marked paths ascend in five minutes to the church of sv. Vida, from where a beautiful view opens onto the Sava gorge, Brežice and Krško polje.
