Žužemberk lies along the Krka River in Slovenia’s Dolenjska region, where the water has cut a narrow valley through wooded karst country. The town is defined by Žužemberk Castle, a medieval fortress on a rocky terrace above the river. First recorded in 1295, it was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and its restoration remains central to the town’s identity. The Krka, a tributary of the Sava, runs directly beneath the castle walls. Dolenjska is also the home of cviček, a lightly alcoholic regional wine.
