Description of mountain:
Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari is a pilgrimage site for Slavs, Germans, and Romance peoples. Already in the 16th century, the mountain was called the pilgrimage path of three nations; today it is known as the pilgrimage path of Europe. The church dedicated to Višarska Kraljica (Queen of Višarje) was renovated in 2000. A few years later, a new circular cable car was installed. It enables the sick and elderly to reach Višarje and supports the winter ski center, as there are many ski slopes in the vicinity offering idyllic skiing. Besides being a pilgrimage center, the views and eateries attract numerous tourists to the summit. Mountaineers often choose the 1.5-hour-distant peak Kamniti Lovec for its fine views of the highest peaks of the western Julian Alps. Masses are on weekdays at 10, 11, and 12 o'clock, and on Sundays and holidays also at 3 p.m.
