4 days in Žalec Itinerary

Occupying the shores of the Savinja River in central Slovenia, Zalec remains famous for its beer fountain, the first one in Europe.

Venture out of the city with trips to Adventure Park Geoss (in Litija) and Velenje Beach (in Velenje). There's much more to do: ponder the design of Green Gold Beer Fountain, explore the ancient world of Roman Necropolis, appreciate the history behind Tito Statue, and see the interesting displays at Velenje Museum.
