The Lower Savinja Valley is encircled by a gentle chain of forested hills. The reward for a well-executed ascent is a view over the valley of “green gold”, the nickname given to the hops that grown in abundance here. The people of Savinja are certainly a little bit different.

Every year they set off to walk the hop trail – and have even created the world’s first beer fountain.
