    Žumberak is one of the most beautiful and interesting areas in Croatia, rich in natural beauty, historical monuments and archaeological sites. Here you can find many features that make this region a special destination for hikers, historians and nature lovers. Sveta Gera, the highest peak of Žumberačka gora, offers spectacular views and a history full of tradition. Žumberak is also home to archaeological finds, such as the Roman necropolis in Bratelji, and the unusual church of St. Petka with its unique four-leaf clover shape.

    Furthermore, Žumberak is home to Uskok fortresses, such as the Old Town of Sichelberg and the New Town of Žumberak, and museums in Stojdraga, Sošice and Radatovići, which preserve the rich past of this region. For nature lovers, there are also wonders such as the Vranječki slap waterfall, which offers an unforgettable experience of beauty in its untouched surroundings. All of these destinations represent a unique opportunity to enjoy nature, history and tradition.

    For the people of Žumberak, Žumberak is much more than just a place – it is our identity. We are proud of our history and tradition. The museum in Stojdraga is a real gem because it preserves many things that tell about the lives of our ancestors. I recommend everyone to come and see authentic objects and learn more about Žumberak's military and cultural heritage.
