The Pilgrims' Trail (Slovene: Pot romarjev) is a 28 kilometres (17 mi) long trail in southeastern Slovenia. It runs from Žalostna Gora ("The Mountain of Sorrows") above Mokronog through Šentrupert, past the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Vesela Gora ("The Mountain of Joy"), and to the Zaplaz Pilgrimage Church in Čatež. The entire walk takes 6 to 7 hours. An organised pilgrimage takes place on the trail every year on the second Sunday of May. The path is maintained by the mountaineering club from Šentrupert, whereas the event is organised by the cultural society of Šentrupert.
