Mt. Jeterbenk in the Polhov Gradec Dolomites

Mt. Jeterbenk is a popular summit in the Polhov Gradec Dolomites mountains. Long ago there had been a castle on top of it, it was destroyed during an earthquake in 1511. Legend has it that the owners Hartenbergs were robber barons. The name Jeterbenk derives from Hartenberg.

No ruins of the castle are left. Today there is a huge cross.
