Šmarna Gora

Local nameŠmarna gora
LocationLjubljana, Slovenia

Mount Saint Mary, originally known as Holm, is an inselberg in the north of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. The mountain is part of the city's Šmarna Gora District. It is the highest hill in the city and a popular hiking destination.The two-peaked mountain resembles the humps of a Bactrian camel or woman's breasts, and it has two peaks: Mount Saint Mary to the east and Grmada to the west.

The toponym contains the archaic contraction Šmarna for Sveta Marijina 'St. Mary's'. The name of the western peak, Grmada, literally means 'heap, pile'. The slightly lower eastern peak lends its name to the mountain as a whole.
