History
A rolling green range of villages, meadows and Greek-Catholic wooden churches on the Slovenian border — home to a distinctive Uskok culture descended from Balkan refugees who fought the Ottomans. Cycling and walking paradise, still almost undiscovered.
“The Uskoks of Žumberak fought against Ottoman incursions for over 200 years and preserved their own dialect and Greek-Catholic rite to this day.”
