Janez Trdina (29 May 1830 – 14 July 1905) was a Slovene writer and historian. The renowned author Ivan Cankar described him as the best Slovene stylist of his period. He was an ardent describer of the Gorjanci Ridge and of the Lower Carniolan region of Slovenia. Trdina Peak (Slovene: Trdinov vrh, Croatian: Sveta Gera), the highest peak of Gorjanci Ridge, situated on the border between southeastern Slovenia and Croatia, was named for him in 1923.
