About Svatý kopeček
Svatý kopeček rises east of Mikulov's center. The limestone hill hosts a pilgrimage route and religious buildings at the top, visible from parts of the town. The route adds a walk and a perspective of the castle, the roofs and the rural landscape of South Moravia.
The Chapel of Saint Sebastian and the stations of the Way of the Cross give the route its religious meaning. The slope is also an area of natural interest, with vegetation adapted to the soil and exposure. The walk should follow authorized paths, avoiding treating the terrain as free access from any side of the hill.
Prepare for an uphill walk, with sections exposed to sun and wind. Bring water and choose the timing for the light and weather conditions. The outdoor walk does not imply entry into the chapels. On return, allow a break before continuing to another outing that also requires elevation change.
