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.
