Na gradu (Grad Pilštanj)

Description of mountain:
Na gradu is a 403-meter-high peak rising directly above the picturesque medieval market town of Pilštanj in the heart of Kozjansko Park. Modest ruins of the former mighty Pilštanj Castle (Peilenstein) can be seen at this site today; it was first directly mentioned in written sources in 1185. Nevertheless, the place is considerably older, as strong folk tradition and later chroniclers locate the birth of Slovenia's only saint, Saint Hemma of Gurk (born between 973 and 1000), precisely at Pilštanj. The castle or its predecessor fortification was thus owned at that time by her parents, the counts of Brež and Selško.
