In the town park, Green Gold Beer Fountain celebrates local hops with taps for beer and water.
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.
