In the town park, Green Gold Beer Fountain celebrates local hops with taps for beer and water.
Estimated journey times
In the town park, the Green Gold Beer Fountain celebrates the hop-growing landscape of the Lower Savinja Valley. Its paired semicircles symbolize hop cones, with one beer fountain and one water fountain. The landmark translates local agriculture into public design; surrounding hop fields explain why the valley is known as Slovenia’s hop-growing heartland.
The nearby Ecomuseum of Hop-Growing and Brewing Industry traces the crop’s history and its transformation into beer. Hop-growing expanded in the valley in the nineteenth century, and the museum is housed in a former hop-drying facility. Together, fountain, museum and fields connect the town centre with the working rural landscape around it.
