Trdinov vrh (Trdina Peak)
Highlight • Summit
Trdinov vrh je najvišji vrh Gorjancev, 40 km dolgega pogorja med obmejnim Obrežjem na vzhodu , Črmošnjiško dolino na zahodu, ta jih tudi loči od Kočevskega Roga, Novomeško in Krško kotlino na severu ter Belo krajino in dolino Kolpe na jugu. Po slemenu Gorjancev poteka državna meja med Slovenijo in Hrvaško. Hrvati imenujejo pogorje Žumberačka gora, Trdinov vrh pa Sv. Gera, imenovan po slovenski cerkvici sv. Jere v neposredni bližini vrha, na katerem je visoko geodetsko znamenje. Nekaj korakov od ostankov slovenske cerkvice stoji obnovljena hrvaška kapela sv. Elije (hrvaško sv. Ilija), katere ruševine so leta 1992 zaščitili in nadkrili. Trdinov vrh je dobil sedanje ime 15. avgusta 1923, ko so krstili najvišji vrh Gorjancev po pisatelju Janezu Trdini, ki je Gorjance ovekovečil v svojih Bajkah in povestih o Gorjancih. Na slovenski strani vrha je cerkvica sv. Gere. Na tej strani stoji tudi RTV in telekomunikacijski stolp, kakih 80 m zahodneje pa je zelo dobro razgledišče, kjer je postavljena panoramska tabla. Gorjanci pripadajo Dinarskemu gorskemu sistemu. Zgrajeni so iz triasnega dolomita, jurskega apnenca in laporno-apnenčevih krednih kamnin. V višjih legah je pogorje močno zakraselo, tod je mnogo vrtač in suhih dolin. Gorjanci so porasli predvsem z bukovimi gozdovi, v zadnjem času pa jih pogozdujejo tudi z iglavci. Znani so po obsežnih košenicah, tudi sleme pogorja je večinoma travnato. Na belokranjski strani so na južnih pobočjih vinogradi. Najvišji naselji sta Jugorje (554 m) na jugu in Javorovica (554 m) na novomeški strani. Na Gorjancih sta tudi dva naravna gozdna rezervata: med Trdinovim vrhom in Krvavim kamnom ter nad Kostanjevico na Krki. Gorjanci se ponašajo z zanimivo floro. Leta 1838 je Henrik Freyer, kustos deželnega muzeja v Ljubljani, odkril panonsko deteljo; največje rastišče je na košenici pod Trdinovim vrhom. Tod rastejo tudi nekatere zaščitene vrste: kranjska bunika, kranjska lilija, zlati klobuk ali turška lilija in lepi čeveljc; v vznožju malo pred Gabrjem rastejo rumeni sleč ter redka in ogrožena kranjski šebenik in hrvaški klinček. V gozdovih je veliko divjadi, zlasti srn, jelenjadi in divjih prašičev, nekaj je tudi medvedov. Razgled s Trdinovega vrha je enkraten. Na severozahodu so na obzorju Karavanke od Pece na vzhodu do Stola in Kepe na zahodu; levo od njih se lepo vidijo Julijci s Triglavom. Od severovzhoda proti severozahodu vidimo kot na dlani Kamniške in Savinjske Alpe od Raduhe na vzhodu do Storžiča na zahodu. V bližini se vleče od zahoda proti v.zhodu dolgo Posavsko hribovje s Kumom v ospredju. Na jugovzhodu vidimo Kočevski Rog in za njim Snežnik, na zahodu pa Nanos. Na panoramski tabli na razgledišču je narisan ves razgled.

Gospodična Mountain Hut and Gospodična Spring
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The Novo mesto branch of the SPD built a shelter with 20 beds in 1930 near the Gospodična spring, on the north-western slope of Gorjanci; in 1942 it was burned. PD Novo mesto built a mountain hut on this site and ceremoniously opened it on 18 September 1949. As it no longer met the needs of visitors, a new home was built in 1973 and 1974 with the help of the Novoteks textile factory and opened on 21 June 1975. Named they named it after the national hero Vinko Paderšič-Batreja (1916-1942), the organizer of OF in the places below Gorjanci. The name "Miss after the spring, which originates under the home; Trdin's fairy tale tells of a castle lady who rejuvenated herself when she washed in it. In 1984, the home was leased by Tovarna zdravil Krka from Novo mesto. she redecorated and modernized the home, and also re-equipped it in 1990. The lease agreement expired in 1994, and the home is now managed by PD Novo mesto.
View:
From the home there is a beautiful view from west to north. To the west we see Kočevski Rog; from west to north, the Dolenjska hills stretch between the Krka and the Sava, followed by the Posavje hills with Kum, and on the horizon we can see the Karavanke and Kamnik Alps; between Gorjanci and the Dolenjska hills there is an extensive Krško field; we can see Novo mesto and Trška gora nicely; exactly to the north is near Tolsti vrh (356 m) with a church at the top. There is no view to the east and south, because it is covered by the backs of the Gorjanci.
More interesting tours:
At the crossroads in front of Miklavž (964 m) is Krvavi kamen (928 m), where, according to Trdin's fairy tale, fraternal blood was spilled.
