Stara trta, the Old Vine, has been growing on the south façade of a one-story house for around 440 years. In 2004, it was entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world. Its trunk, which is around 25 centimeters wide, branches out at a height of two meters into horizontal shoots that rest on a trellis and reach a length of 15 meters. The "Blue Kavčina" or "Velvet Black" grape variety, which is particularly resistant to diseases, is one of the oldest in Slovenia. The age of the vine was determined using a probing method with the help of a microscope.

In the Old Town, on Lent Square, in front of the Oldest Vine, you'll find the more than 450-year-old Žametovka, or Blauer Kölner, grape variety. It's even listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest vine in the world that still bears fine fruit.
