Description of mountain:
Turn is a peak above Štore - Šentjanž nad Štorami. A little below the summit, at the site of the former castle Prežin, the church of St. John the Baptist was built in 1525. The belfry is separated from the church, standing at the very summit, and from this likely comes the name of the peak Turn. According to some sources, the former castle tower is supposed to have stood at the site of the current belfry. From the castle, only a few modest remains are left. The settlement in the valley by the Voglajna, Prožinska vas, is supposed to have gotten its name from the former castle.
