Sveta Marija (Trška Gora)

Description of mountain:
Trška gora is one of the most famous Slovenian wine hills, where on its southern slope there are the most vineyard cottages in the world and where they produce excellent cviček. The northern slope is forested. The peak of Trška gora is adorned by the pilgrimage church of Mary's Birth, which was already mentioned in 1135 by the Aquileian patriarch Peregrin in his donation to the Stična monastery, together with the wine estate (Weinhoff) and nearby vineyards. At the foot of Trška gora lies the extensive complex of the Grm Agricultural School along with an ampelographic vineyard. Trška gora offers a heavenly view in all directions, to Gorjanci, towards Kočevski Rog and Krska dolina, just below it lies Novo mesto embraced by the green emerald Krka. Near Trška gora are the castles Hmeljnik, Stari grad and Otočec. Among the vineyards and vineyard cottages on Trška gora reigns a special poetic spirit that has inspired even such vineyard cottage owners as the composer Marjan Kozina, virtuosos of folk entertainment music Lojze Slak, Henrik Burkat – Henček, Franc Potočar and many others. On the top of Trška gora (428 m) by the church of Mary's Birth, linden trees have been growing for centuries. The oldest and mightiest one has a circumference of 830 centimeters at chest height. It is estimated to be over four hundred years old and is the thickest linden tree in Dolenjska. It has a hollow trunk into which a nice group of people can squeeze, the bottom is artfully overgrown, and at a height of three meters rises a bushy green crown, in whose shade an ancient stone table awaits its visitors.
