Vitovski hrib is 604 meters high hill, which is situated north from the village Vitovlje in Vipava Valley.
Vitovski hrib is a hill that rises above the village of Vitovlje in the heart of the Goriška, Notranjska and Snežnica hills. Only a little below the summit, there is also Vitovlje Lake long 10m, wide 7m and deep 1m, which is the only natural lake in Vipava Valley. Several easy and accessible trails from Vitovelje lead to the hill.
Vitovki vrh has a church, which is dedicated to the Mother of God and to the Holy Spirit which was built in the 14th century.
Next to the church, which is basically Romanesque, several graves from the time of Slav settlement were discovered.
