Sveto brdo, Mountain summit in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Sveto brdo rises to 1752 meters as the second highest peak of the Velebit mountain range, featuring a distinctive pyramid shape visible from long distances.
Local mountain communities established religious traditions around the peak, leading to the installation of a four-meter steel cross and Ten Commandments plate at the summit.
The mountain's name translates to Holy Mountain, reflecting centuries of local folklore about divine encounters occurring during storms at the peak's summit.
Hikers can reach the summit through multiple trails, with the easiest route starting from Malo Libinje, requiring approximately three and a half hours of walking.
The summit provides views extending to the Apennines 270 kilometers away, while offering clear perspectives of both the Lika region and Adriatic coast.
