The mountain lodge is located just below the peak of Mirna gora in the southeastern area of Kočevski Rog. In the immediate vicinity of the lodge is the renovated church of St. Francis Xavier and a lookout tower. View: There is a very beautiful view from the lodge or from the renovated church tower. To the east, below us is Bela Krajina with Metlika and Črnomlje, and on the other side of the Kolpa is Croatia towards Karlovac; to the south, we can see the Poljansko gorovje nearby, behind it the mountains of Gorski Kotar with Klek and the peaks of Velika Kapela; to the west, Kočevski Rog spreads out; to the north, we can see part of Gorjanci with Trdinov vrh and Žumberak, and in front of it, Smuk and Semenič, which rise above Semič. If it is very clear, the view extends all the way to Zagreb and Medvednica above it, and to Karlovac.

There are several buildings at the summit, including an open chapel and a huge radio mast. The panoramic view is very impressive.

Great spot, great food and one of the most beautiful mountain lodges I've visited.

In the most extensive karst field of Žumberačka gora lies the village of Sošice, a place whose oldest name - Sussiz, was mentioned for the first time in a document signed by Bernard, the owner of the nearby fortress Sichelberg (Old Town Žumberak) in 1249. Along with five other places on Žumberk, Sošice was then donated to the newly founded Cistercian monastery in Kostanjevica. When the next time in the 16th century mentioned again in the documents, the Žumberac area, ravaged by Turkish conquests, has already become part of the Military Border. Thanks to its location, Sošice has been not only one of the largest settlements in Žumberac since ancient times, but also the most distinctive center of Žumberac. Today, they are one of the most visited tourist spots in Žumberka.

This place is a symbol of a deep wound in the souls of Croats.

Sveta Gera is the highest peak of Žumberačka gora. It is located almost on the Slovenian border. The top is a wide undulating glade 350 meters long. Near the top is a disputed military facility that was abandoned by the former JNA in 1991, after which it was occupied by the Slovenian army. Since 1923, Slovenians have called the peak Trdinov vrh after Janez Trdina, a writer from Novi Mesto.

It consists of an entrance part similar to a well about 34 m deep, at the bottom of which there is an elongated sloping part about 15 m long. In 2020, the remains of 814 victims who were killed there by partisans after the capture of Krašić in January 1943 and then by soldiers of the Yugoslav Army in May and June 1945 were exhumed from the pit.

The Jazovka mass grave is a pit located in the forest near the village of Sošice in Žumberka and is a protected cultural asset. It is known as the place of mass murder of Croats during and after the end of the Second World War at the hands of Yugoslav partisans.
