About location

Built around dispersed farms on the northern foothills of the Gorjanci Hills, Brusnice grew into a rural settlement in southeastern Slovenia. Its hamlets lie in the wider Novo Mesto municipality, where wooded ridges rise above the Krka Valley and lead towards the Slovenian-Croatian border. Gorjanci is a long, forested hill range whose highest summit is Trdinov vrh. This part of Dolenjska is shaped by smallholdings, orchards and vineyards rather than urban development. Local identity is closely tied to cviček, the light red wine produced in the Dolenjska wine district. Trails and mountain stops in Gorjanci connect settled slopes with beech and oak woodland, giving Brusnice a quiet rural character south of Novo Mesto.
