Leave the city behind and enter the quieter landscapes of Žumberak–Samoborsko Gorje Nature Park. This private full-day journey combines approximately 3.5–4.5 hours of e-bike riding with mountain landscapes, traditional villages, Sopotski slap and regional gastronomy. The bicycle is not simply part of the experience. It is how Žumberak is discovered.
The day
- Morning
The ride
Ride through a changing landscape of forest, open countryside, mountain roads and gravel sections. The journey follows a curated route through the wider Budinjak, Mrzlo Polje, Gornja Vas, Tomaševci, Sopotski slap and Sošice areas. There is no race and no requirement to complete a predetermined number of kilometres. The pace belongs to the group.
- Throughout
Premium e-bikes
Explore Žumberak on Adrion's own premium full-suspension e-bikes. 800 Wh batteries provide substantial range for a full day in varied terrain, while electric assistance makes the climbs part of the experience rather than the objective. Each bike is prepared and individually adjusted before the ride.
- Midday
Sopotski slap
Deep within the Žumberak landscape, the journey reaches Sopotski slap. Where conditions permit, leave the bikes behind for a short walk toward the waterfall. A place to slow down before returning to the trail.
- Afternoon
Sošice & the Žumberak villages
Small settlements are part of what gives Žumberak its distinctive character. Ride through a landscape where villages, meadows and forests remain closely connected. Sošice provides a natural point to pause before the final part of the ride.
- Late afternoon
Regional gastronomy
After the bikes are secured, the rhythm changes. Finish the experience with a curated regional lunch at a selected countryside or family-run gastronomic partner. Local ingredients, traditional flavours and food that belongs to the landscape. No unnecessary formality. Simply the right ending to an active day in Žumberak.

Questions
Is this a private experience?
Yes. Every departure is organised exclusively for the guests travelling together — private Mercedes-Benz transportation, licensed local guiding and complete Adrion journey coordination arranged for your group alone.
Do I need mountain-biking experience?
No. Adrion operates its own premium full-suspension e-bikes with 800 Wh batteries, and routes are selected according to the confidence of the group, the weather and trail conditions. Guests should be comfortable riding a bicycle independently; advanced mountain-biking experience is not required.
How much riding is involved?
Approximately three and a half to four and a half hours across a nine to ten hour day. There is no race and no set distance — the pace belongs to the group, and the route can be shortened or extended on the day.
How many guests can join?
Adrion owns nine premium e-bikes, so private departures run comfortably for up to nine guests. Larger private groups are arranged in advance with additional bicycles.
