Vipava leži v zgornjem delu sončne Vipavske doline, ob številnih izvirih istoimenske reke, ki imajo mednarodno slavo zaradi izredne lege in vodnih značilnosti.

Vipava lies in the upper part of the solar Vipava valley with numerous springs of the same name of the river that have international acclaim for extraordinary location and water features.

V dolini se čutijo močni vplivi sredozemske klime, kar omogoča vzgojo in rast kakija, fig, vinske trte in celo oljk. Milo klimo občasno prekine burja, ki se zaganja z Nanosa in Trnovskega gozda.

In the valley you can feel strong effects of the Mediterranean climate, which provides growth of persimmon, figs, vines and even olive trees. Mild climate is occasionally interrupted with wind, which blows from Nanos and Trnovski forest.

Reka Vipava ima kot edina v Evropi deltast izvir. Njeni izviri so povezani s podzemnimi vodami kraškega zaledja Nanosa in Postojnske kotline. Dokaz, da je kraj Vipava prepreden z vodo, je število mostov. Teh je kar 25 in zato nekateri pravijo Vipavi slovenske Benetke.

River Vipava is the only river in Europe with the source of the delta. Its springs are connected to groundwater of Nanos and Postojna basin. Proof that Vipava is riddled with water are the numbers of the bridges. We have 25 bridges and therefore some say Vipava is Slovenian Venice.

DVOKRPI GINKO // Ginkgo biloba

Drevo na desnem robu vipavskega parka pred Lanthierjevim dvorcem je vredno pozornosti. Doma je v Vzhodni Aziji (Kitajska, Japonska). V Evropo so ga kot okrasno rastlino prinesli okoli leta 1730. Dvokrpi ginkijo je do 30 m visoko drevo. Izvlečki iz ginkovih listov se uporabljajo v zdravilstvu.

The tree on the right side of the park before Lanthieri mansion is worth attention. It is native to East Asia (China, Japan). It was brought to Europe as an ornamental plant in 1730. Ginkgo biloba is up to 30 m tall tree. Extracts from ginkgo leaves are used in medicine.
