Mount Mirna

Mount Mirna (Slovene: Mirna gora, German: Friedensberg, Friedbüchel),[1] literally ‘peaceful mountain’, is a mountain in the eastern part of Kočevje Rog.

[2] It is located above the settlement of Planina and is the highest point in the traditional White Carniola region of Slovenia.

[3] Traditional explanations of the name are connected with the function of the church that once stood there or the idea that it was spared from Ottoman attacks.

[5] A church dedicated to Saint Francis Xavier, dating from 1793, formerly stood on Mount Mirna.

The Mount Mirna Lodge (Slovene: Planinski dom na Mirni gori) is located 10 m below the summit,[7] and the summit itself offers good views of White Carniola and the Kolpa Valley.
