Križna Gora is a small settlement above Visoko in the Škofja Loka municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The local church on a hill above the settlement is dedicated to The Holy Cross and was built around 1500. It contains many well preserved frescos from 1502, and depict the legends of Saint Ulrich, to whom the church was dedicated until 1867, and of Saint Korbinian. Some of the frescos in the nave, dating to around 1530,^[2] are believed to be by Jernej of Loka. The hill with the church is a popular destination for short outings by locals.^[3]
