The Vipavska brda and Vrhe ('Wippach Hills' and 'Mountains') are a medium-mountain range of hills on the northwestern edge of the karst of the Dinaric Mountains in southwestern Slovenia . The highest point of the Vrhe is the 724  m high Goli vrh .

Location and landscape

The hill area is about 25 kilometers southeast of Gorica (Gorizia, Görz) and just as far northeast of Trieste . It extends with heights of 200 to 600 meters south of Ajdovščina for about 35 km.

The landscape is located between the Vipava Valley (Vipavska dolina) in the north and east, and the Branica - Raša valley range (Dolina Branice - Dolina Raše), a Vipava tributary, in the southwest. On the other side of the Vipava valley lies the Trnovski gozd (Ternovan Forest) to the north and the Nanos to the east . To the southwest is the Kras (Karst, Carso) near Trieste, and to the southeast is the Vremščica . To the east the train passes into the Slavinski Ravnik near Postojna .

Vipavska brda is the tendency to call the northern part with the Školj - Planina train (Veliki Školj  418  m. I. Year , Planina peak  437  m. I. Y. ) Between Brunik and Ajdovščina and the eastern flank near Vipava . Vrhe is the name of the higher southern part, which stretches from Štanjel over the Hrbec  ( 618  m. I. Year ) and Ovčje brdo  ( 621  m. I. Y. ) To Goli vrh . This mountain is also the culmination of the range of hills, and the pass of the same name ( 621  m. I. J. ) separates it from the Slavinski Ravnik. The southeasternmost area there, near Senožeče , is called Senožečka brda . The hill country is divided primarily by the upper reaches of the Branica east of Štanjel, where it also kneels around this place: the naming of the areas is however inconsistent in this regard.

The most important pass crossings are the place Vrtovče  ( 286  m. I. Y. Year ) on Školj, Koboli - Pil ( 280  m. Y. Year ) - Erzelj over the Planina, the Goško prevala  ( 233  m. Y. Year ) between Vipava and Štanjel, and the high road on the Hrbec near Vrabče  ( 512  m. i. J. ) between Podnanos and Senožeče. At Goli vrh, the Avtocesta (motorway) A1 Ljubljana - Koper also passes the Vrhe.

Geology and nature

The range of hills stands out completely against the surrounding karst (limestone and dolomites), but is a clayey sandstone ( flysch ) that belongs to the Adriatic-Ionian flysch zone of the southern Alps and Dinarides , which differs from the wine region of the Goriška brda (Colli) to the Brkini pulls. The flysch zone differs quite characteristically from the karstified , bare or dry forest plateaus to the northeast and southwest with its hilly shape and the wealth of small streams and ditches . The dry valley of the Raša with the Ter  ( 673  m. I. J. ) and the southeastern plateau at Dolenja vas and Senožeče are typical karst.

The flysch also makes up the quality as a wine-growing region, the Brda belong to the Primorska wine region (with vineyards also on the other side of the valley). The specialty of the Vipava wines are the old Pinela and Zelen grape varieties .
