Krajevna skupnost Jarenina

Krajevna skupnost Jarenina is a local community in Pesnica comprising seven settlements spread across the region. The area sits between 280 and 340 meters in elevation, with rolling farmland and forests characterizing the landscape.

The community appeared in records during the early Middle Ages and gained significance in 1139 when part of it was assigned to Admond Monastery. This monastic connection influenced the settlement's development for centuries.

The annual Velika Gospojnica celebration takes place throughout August, featuring local traditions and parish customs that represent the regional cultural practices.

The area is roughly 10 kilometers from the Šentilj border crossing and easily accessible from Maribor for day visits. It works well for walking and exploring the countryside at a leisurely pace.

The name comes from 'jarkovina' or the German 'Jaring', referring to cleared and worked land. This naming reflects the region's long history of farming and settlement.
