Žumberak is a wonderful destination, although the offer of accommodation is somewhat more modest considering its natural and rural character.
Here are a few options I would recommend:
Mountain lodges:
The mountain lodge on Sveta Gera and the lodge on Japetić are popular among mountaineers. They offer basic but comfortable conditions, ideal for nature lovers.
Farmhouses and apartments: Many local households offer accommodation in traditional houses. This is a great opportunity to experience the authentic spirit of Žumberak, often with local food and hospitality. Examples are “Eco Village Žumberak” or similar accommodations near the village of Sošice.
Vacation homes: On platforms like Airbnb, you can find vacation homes that are more modernly equipped, but still located in untouched nature.
Prices: Mountain lodges are the most affordable, while rural households and holiday homes are a bit more expensive, but offer more comfort. Depending on location and season, prices range from 20 to 100 euros per night.
Practical advice: Make sure to book in advance, especially during weekends or during the hiking season. Also, check the availability of restaurants nearby, as some accommodations only offer basic overnight service. If you love peace, fresh air, and closeness to nature, your stay in Žumberak will be unforgettable. Good luck with the organization and enjoy!
