Green Gold Beer Fountain, Žalec

Highlight • Monument

The first beer fountain in the world. Fontana beer green gold is a gift to the hop plant heritage of the Lower Savinja valley and Žalec, which is the center of hop production in our country. Slovenia is also the fifth largest producer of hops in the world, while hops are the "seasoning" that gives beer a taste and a recognizable note.
Fontana beer Green gold is set in a city park, in the city center, next to the market. The base for the architectural design of the fountain is a symbolic honeybee, which is expressed in two semicircles or two fountains, one beer and others, water. The semi-circles are clad in a copper lace, which symbolizes the foam on the beer.

Bridge over the Savinja River

The traffic bridge, beautifully decorated with flower boxes, offers a classic view of Celjne from the southwest. The river bike path begins here, heading west; there's a small parking lot nearby.

Savinja Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This footbridge across the Savinja crosses from the flat pastures to the west of the city towards the Posavje Hills, which are renowned for their vineyards. From here, it's a relatively short hike to the Planinski dom na Brnici hut, from where you can venture to the forest-covered Hom or head for Kotečnik, a beloved sport climbing venue. The Savinja is one of Slovenia's great rivers and is a tributary of the Sava.

View of the Savinja Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

This section runs on very easy to drive secondary roads in the Lower Savinja Valley. The flat valley floor is surrounded by hills and is known for the cultivation of hops. In the villages you will always find nice inns that will serve you cool, hoppy drinks.
