Rožnik (pronounced [ˈɾoːʒnik]) is a hill in the Rožnik District and Šiška District northwest of the Ljubljana city center. Together with Tivoli City Park, it forms Tivoli–Rožnik Hill–Šiška Hill Landscape Park. Extending from Tivoli Park, it is a popular hiking, running, and excursion destination for residents of Ljubljana.
1836 inscription in Visitation Church: ad Rosoletum Collem (at Rožnik Hill)
Rožnik Hill was attested in written sources in 1326 as Rosenberch. The Slovene name is a translation from the German name Rosenberg, originally a compound of Middle High Germanrôse 'rose' and berc 'mountain, hill'.[1] In modern German the hill was known as Rosenbach.[2][3]
Geography
Transmitter tower on Šiška Hill
The hill has two peaks, called Šiška Hill (Slovene: Šišenski hrib, 429 m) and Cankar Peak (Slovene: Cankarjev vrh, 394 m). Cankar Peak was formerly known as Zgornji Rožnik ('upper Rožnik', German: Oberrosenbach),[4] in contrast to Spodnji Rožnik[5] ('lower Roznik'; also known as Podrožnik, German: Unterrosenbach)[4] at the base of the hill, where the Čad Inn is located.[5] On Cankar Peak stands Visitation Church and an inn where the writer Ivan Cankar lived between 1910 and 1917. Below it, on the southern slope of the hill, is the Ljubljana Zoo.[6]
Events
