It won't take long hike from centre of Lendava to get at the top (well, one of the tops at along the ridge) of Lendavske gorice with the chapel of Holy Trinity. It's also one of the religious buildings in the area that can be seen well from the town below and while approaching it and shares some superb views of the landscape 360 degrees from its standing point.

Chapel was built in 1728 by the local people with financial support of wealthy families whom were thankful of being saved from Turkish raids at that time.

See the graveyard around the chapel with ancient tombs - its the oldest graveyard of Lendava and there are some notable stones well preserved. Sit down by the benches in shade of tree, enjoy the view and catch the sound of the wind... though, if you come in winter, it can be only freezingly cold.

If the chapel is open, take a step inside and find miraclously preserved mummy of Michaly Hadik - a macabre monument of some distant, turbulent times.

Address: Lendavske gorice
Directions: few minutes drive from centre or half hour walking
