Welcome

A trip to the Žužemberk municipality in Suha krajina, at the upper stream of the river Krka, is an escape from the city hustle and bustle, smog, traffic jam, cars and wild quotidian life. Nature, that has endowed Žužemberk and Suha krajina with its richness, offers undreamt-of possibilities for the enrichment of body and spirit. If you would like to try yourself in various sport activities, go boating, ride a bicycle, catch fish or go hunting, trekking or simply drive around in your car, it will be a new experience, which will remain in your memory forever.

Rich cultural and historical heritage of this region is really worth taking a look at: the Žužemberk castle, the church of St. Nicholas, the remains of the Roman road, the renovated smelting furnace in Dvor, the church of St. Agnes, a centuries old lime tree, the remnants of Venet villages, mills, the remnants of a paper mill and tannery, Roman tombstones… Suha krajina is interesting for everyone; the old and the young, bicyclists, historians, boatmen, painters, adventurers, explorers…

Everyone who wishes to experience something different will find something for himself. Local people are trying to offer help to anyone who needs it. The tourist enthusiasts work in the tourist association and help in the activities related to the cleaning of environment, cultural events, and the promotion of Suha krajina. We wish that more people would get acquainted with our region and experience a pleasant trip to Žužemberk, the valley of the river Krka, accompanied by the murmuring of waterfalls and beautiful nature in this mysterious world.

You are invited to Suha krajina, where time runs with a different speed. The town of Žužemberk invites you, the river Krka invites you with its valley of castles, its peace and untarnished nature, cultural sights, and a number of opportunities to spend your free time actively.

We wish you visited us and experienced Suha krajina for yourselves.
