2. Šentjernej
The towns beneath the Gorjanci hills, including Šentjernej,
have been famous for quite a while. In the 19th century,
they were described by Janez Trdina in his tales and
fables.
Šentjernej is the seat of the municipality of the same name,
known to the rest of Slovenia for the wonderful cviček
wine, the singing and roosters, the traditional horse
races, the »Petelinjada« rooster races, the May Day
celebration at Javorovica, Koledovanje (when groups of
men go from household to household singing carols and
wishing good luck) and Jernejevo – the municipal
holiday on the day of St. Jernej (Bartholomew).
In the Šentjernej valley beneath the Gorjanci stands the
Carthusian monastery Pleterje, and next to it there is an
outdoor museum with displays of the architecture and
day to day life in the area.
