If you are visiting Ljubljana you have to do the most popular local hiking destination - Katarina in the Polhov Gradec Hill Range. It is a village called Topol with its famous St. Katherine Church from the 17th century. At the top, you can sit on a lonely bench and get lost in a curvy landscape, ending slowly somewhere behind the white mountains in the north.
Our hiking destination will be a white church on an enchanting small hilltop named St. Jakob.
On a clear day, considering the small effort to arrive there, the views from both Katarina and St. Jakob peaks are indescribably rewarding, letting one see as far as Triglav in the north-west with the rest of the Alps extending across the horizon. After hiking we will enter of the best restaurant in Topol, where we will enjoy tasty traditional Slovenian lunch.
