The path up Cross Mountain follows the Stations of the Cross, marked since 1988 by bronze reliefs, and ends at the concrete cross, 8.56 m (28 ft) high, that the parishioners raised on March 15, 1934 to mark 1,900 years since the death of Jesus. Between two of the stations a bronze relief remembers Fr. Slavko Barbarić, who died on the mountain on November 24, 2000. Because groups stop to pray at each station there is time to rest, but pilgrims find the upper part steeper and more exposed to sun and wind than anything on Apparition Hill.
The parish prays the Way of the Cross on the mountain every Friday, at 2 p.m. from September through May and at 4 p.m. from June through August, and celebrates Mass at the foot of the cross on the first Sunday after the feast of the Nativity of Mary in September.
Do not assume that managing one hill proves the other is suitable. If you are unsure, climb Apparition Hill first and see how your knees and balance cope with the descent, which many people find harder than the way up. For Cross Mountain wear closed shoes with tread, carry more water than you think you need and a hat, start early in summer, bring a walking stick, and take a flashlight if you might be coming down near dusk. For anyone who cannot climb, the parish set up Stations of the Cross in 2002 beside the statue of the Risen Christ near the church.
