Zaklad je skrit na Sveti Gori nad Novo gorico.---------------
Cache is hidden on Sveta Gora above Nova Gorica.
Sveta gora ali Skalnica (italijansko Monte Santo) je 682 metrov visoka vzpetina pri Novi Gorici blizu meje med Slovenijo in Italijo. Na vrhu gore stoji bazilika Marijinega vnebovzetja, ki velja za najpomembnejšo romarsko pot v zahodni Sloveniji.
Z gore se odpre s severa slikovit pogled na Julijske Alpe, z vzhoda na Trnovski gozd, Škabrijel in Grgar, z juga na Novo Gorico, Gorico, Solkan in Sabotin, na Kras in Jadransko morje, z zahoda na vinorodna Brda, Karnijske Alpe in Dolomite.
Na Sveto Goro se lahko pripeljemo iz Solkana po asfaltirani cesti, ob kateri so postaje križevega pota, ali pa se podamo s Prevala peš po stari romarski poti. Lahko pa na Goro pridemo tudi s kolesom iz Grgarja ali iz Zagore pri Plavah.
Cez Sveto goro pelje tudi kolesarska pot, ki povezuje tri znana romarska svetišca: Sveto Goro nad Novo Gorico, Marijino Celje na Kanalskem Kolovratu in Staro Goro (Castelmonte) nad Cedadom. Dolžina poti: Sveta Gora-Preški vrh-Zagora-Plave-Vrtace-Marijino Celje-Lig-Lovišce-Strmec-Britof-Košoni-Stara Gora je: cca 35 km.
---------------------------------------
Above the river Soca and the town Solkan the area steeply rises to Sveta Gora (»Holy Mountain«), 682m, an important pilgrimage site. From the mountain there are magnificent views in all directions: the Julian Alps to the north, the Trnovski gozd, Škabrijel and Grgar to the east, Nova Gorica and Gorizia, Solkan and the mountain, Sabotin, the region of Karst and the Adriatic Sea to the south, and the wine region Brda, the Carnian Alps and the Dolomites to the west.
One can drive to Sveta Gora from Solkan over an asphalt road bordered by the Stations of the Cross or a walk along the old pilgrims’ way from Preval; the top of the hill can also be reached by bicycle from Grgar or Zagora near Plave.
On Sveta gora starts a nice bicycle tour that connects three Marian shrines (Sveta Gora, Stara Gora (Castelmonte) near Cedad (Cividale del Friuli) and Marijino Celje above Kanal).
