  • What is the infrastructure like in Žumberak?

    Posted by Sarah on December 23, 2024 at 1:24 PM

    I'm thinking about visiting or even moving to Žumberak, so I'm curious about the infrastructure there. I know it's a mountainous and scenic area, but how practical is it for daily life or a longer stay? I'm interested in the condition of the roads, supplies, internet, health services, and anything else that might be important.
    If anyone has experience with staying or living in Žumberak, I would love to hear your impressions. How much is the region adapted to modern needs, and how much is it more suitable for those seeking peace and nature?

    Žumberak is a truly beautiful area, but the infrastructure is quite basic and adapted to the natural environment.

    Here is some key information that could help you:

    1. Roads and traffic: Most roads are local, narrow and winding, and the asphalt is not modern everywhere. There is almost no public transport, so a car is necessary for getting around.

    2. Supplies: There are no large stores or supermarkets. For larger purchases, you have to go to cities like Samobor or Karlovac.

    3. Energy and heating: The electricity grid exists, but can be unreliable in remote areas. There is no gas, and most people use wood for heating.

    4. Internet and signal: Internet is available, but quality and speed depend on location. Satellite Internet or mobile networks are often the only options.

    5. Healthcare: There are no hospitals, only small clinics. For more serious needs, you have to go to larger cities.

    6. Tourism: If you love nature and hiking, this is paradise. There are many trails, mountain lodges and educational facilities.

    All in all, Žumberak is great for those looking for peace, nature, and an escape from the busy lifestyle. If infrastructure is not a priority for you, I think you would love it.
