With an altitude of 1,047 meters above sea level, Mirna gora is one of the highest peaks in Bela krajina. From the peak, you can survey Bela krajina, the Gorjanci mountain range, and northern Croatia. The Planina-Mirna gora Forest Education Trail begins in the village of Planina below Mirna gora. Walking the trail, you will learn about the structure and life of the forest, the majority of the local trees as well as some foreign trees, and various species of bushes. Close by are the remains of a forest railway, and a mountaineering trial leads through Planina to Mirna gora.
