Although not Rožnik Hill's highest point – that accolade belongs to Šiška Hill, at 1,407 feet (429 m) – Cankar's Peak is the most popular objective. It's adorned by the beautiful Cerkev Marijinega obiskanja (the Church of Virgin Mary’s Visitation), with its Neoclassical facade and stirring views of Ljubljana.

Cankar's Peak is named after Ivan Cankar, Slovenia's greatest writer, who lived here between 1910 and 1917. Today, his former residence is Gostilna Rožnik, which serves lovely food.

If you have enough time in Ljubljna, and like some easy walking in nice nature, definitely visit Tivoli Park and walk up to Rožnik and Cankarjev vrh (Cankar's Peak), both for the pleasant walking through the woods and for nice views of Ljubljana and its surroundings. You can do it all on good gravel roads, or you can take any of numerous dirt-trails and paths, in which case wear some decent sneakers.
