  • Souvenirs in Žumberak – Where to find authentic souvenirs?

    Posted by Sarah on December 23, 2024 at 1:29 PM

    I am planning a visit to Žumberak and would like to bring back some authentic souvenirs that represent the spirit of this region. I am wondering if there is a local shop, gallery or craft workshop where I can find handmade items, traditional products or maybe something specific to Žumberak? Also, I would like to hear recommendations for the best souvenirs to bring back, whether it is local products, handicrafts or some natural works. Thank you in advance for all your suggestions!

    Žumberak is a beautiful place with many authentic souvenirs to take home as a memento. I recommend local honey and honey products such as propolis and gingerbread, which are excellent thanks to the developed beekeeping in this area. Handmade wooden items, such as decorative boxes, figurines or kitchen utensils, are also a great choice, since Žumberak is known for its crafts. Traditional textile handicrafts, such as scarves, tablecloths or bags with characteristic motifs, are definitely worth looking for. In addition, natural cosmetics made from local plants, such as soaps and balms, will delight lovers of natural products. Local wines and homemade brandies are perfect souvenirs for drink lovers, while hiking maps and books about Žumberak can be useful and beautiful memories for nature lovers. Also visit local tourist information points, which often have stands with authentic products, and enjoy exploring Žumberak!
