Sto maslina za devojku

A hundred olives for the girl

Stoliv je pravo primorsko mestašce prilju - bljeno uz more. U podnožju planine Vrmac, smešten između Markovog rta i Veriga, naju - žeg dela Bokokotorskog zaliva, i malo skraj - nut od glavnog puta, Stoliv je ostvarenje sno - va za svakoga ko je željan letovanja u miru i tišini. Tu nećete pronaći peščane plaže ni šume suncobrana, a opet ste na nekoliko koraka od mora. Obilje cveća krasi prozore starih ka - menih kuća, a svaki pedalj ovog gradića slika je koja se urezuje u pamćenje. Malo je poznato da Stoliv ima i svoj gornji

Stoliv is a real seaside town in the embrace of the sea. At the foot of Vrmac mountain, locat - ed between Marko's Cape and the strait of Ver - ige, the narrowest part of the Bay of Kotor, it is a dream come true for everyone desiring to spend their summer holiday in peace and quiet. Here you won't find sandy beaches or forests of par - asols, yet you are just a few steps from the sea. Abundant flowers adorn the windows of old stone houses, and every inch of this town forms a picture that's etched into the memory. A little-known fact is that Stoliv also has its own upper town, on Vrmac mountain. Located just

grad na planini Vrmac. Na samo 20 minuta ho- da od mora, na visini od 240 metara, ušuškan u stoletnu kestenovu šu - mu nalazi se Gornji Sto- liv, mesto iz kojeg su se stanovnici davnih godi- na spustili do mora i ta- ko osnovali istoimeno novo naselje. Mestom dominira Crkva Svetog Ilije, a uz nju po - stoji i manja Crkva Sve- te Ane, za koju se pret - postavlja da je nastala u 12. veku. Do pre desetak godina

a 20-minute walk from the sea, nestled away in a centuries-old chestnut forest, is Gornji Stoliv, a place whose inhabitants long since descended to the sea and there found- ed a new settlement of the same name. The settlement is dominat - ed by the Church of St. Ili - ja, while alongside it is the smaller Church of St. Ana, which is presumed to have been erected in the 12 th century. The village on the mountain was completely abandoned until about ten

selo u planini bilo je sasvim napušteno, a da - nas se mnogi interesuju za ruševne kuće sta - rih pomoraca i rudara koji su nešto blaga iskopali u Americi. Dve su legende o nastanku imena Stoliv. Pre- ma jednoj, za kišnih dana se sa Vrmca, od sela ka moru, spušta stotinu potoka, a po drugoj, svaki momak, da bi stekao pravo da se oženi, morao je da zasadi stotinu masli - na. Sudeći po broju maslinjaka, treba verova - ti drugoj priči. Stoliv je uz šume kestena i zasade maslina poznat i po kamelijama, koje su stolivski mo - replovci doneli iz Japana u 18. veku. Na Markovom rtu kod Stoliva sudaraju se ve- trovi sa planina Lovćen i Orjen čineći lekovitu ružu vetrova, zbog koje je Stoliv poznat kao vazdušna banja. Zbog vetrova i mora vazduh je pun aerosola kojim, kažu meštani, kao i le - kari, valja zalivati pluća.

years ago, but many people are today interested in the ruined houses of old mariners and miners who left to dig up treasure in America. Two legends exist about the origins of the name Stoliv. According to one, a hundred streams ap - pear on Vrmac on rainy days and descend from the village to the sea, while the other claims that every young man in the town had to plant a hun - dred olive trees in order to gain the right to marry. Judging by the number of olive groves in the ar- ea, we should believe the second story. Alongside chestnut forests and olive groves, Stoliv is also known for camellias, which Stoliv sailors brought back from Japan in the 18 th centu- ry. The winds from the mountains of Lovćen and Orjen collide at Marko’s Cape near Stoliv, form - ing a healing wind rose that is the reason Stoliv is known as an air spa. The winds and the sea en - sure that the air is full of aerosol droplets that lo - cals and doctors say are good for the lungs.
