The Žitnica mountain lodge on Japetić (815 m) was built by the HPD "Jastrebarsko" between 1951 and 1955 on the top of a meadow called Žitnica. The home has a spacious dining room, kitchen, terrace and 3 bedrooms with a total of 21 beds. It is supplied with food and drink. It is open Friday afternoon, Saturday, Sunday, holidays and by appointment. A macadam road from St. Jane leads to the home. The lodge has a control stamp of the 4 seasons bypass on Japetić, the Karlovac bypass and the Circular hiking road through the Samobor hills. It is possible to buy mountaineering literature - books, diaries and mountaineering maps of Samobor and Žumberak mountains.
