Our story on the miraculous nature and the rich heritage is based on the organized offer by the Tourist Cluster of Sutla and Žumberak, founded by the initiative of the Zagreb County. The members of the Tourist Cluster are business subjects with a common interest of providing tourist services: traditional crafts and arts, ethnographic collections, museums, galleries, family farms and others offering accommodation, gastronomic and entertainment services.

The purpose of founding the Cluster of Sutla and Žumberak was to connect the members to resolve their common problems and exchange positive experiences through the common cluster management - Poduzetnički centar Samobor (Entrepreneur Center Samobor) and Zagorska razvojna agencija - to create recognizable tourist brands and common tourist products by forming a competitive tourist offer.

The Cluster is managed by the association Tourist Cluster of Sutla and Žumberak, registered on June 19, 2006 with headquarters in Bregana, Đ. Basaričeka 4. The association currently has over 40 members.
