Along the Brusniška Hrustavka (cherries from the village of Brusnice) route

Most of the trail leads through the village of Velika Brusnica, which is renowned for its indigenous cherry variety called Brusniška Hrustavka. The trail is especially beautiful in the spring when you are accompanied by flowering trees, or if you take the route in June, when everything in the village revolves around cherries and when the traditional Brusniška Hrustavka Cherry Festival takes place. The picturesque trail that leads through several villages at the foot of Gorjanci and also across the vine-clad hills is marked by many interesting features, among other things, it takes you past four castles.
