Have you heard the story of a fountain that doesn't give water, but beer?
No, this isn't an urban legend, but reality! In Žalec, there's the Green Gold Beer Fountain where people pour glasses of refreshing beer instead of water, and believe me, this local golden liquid is a treat for every beer lover.
Žalec is not just another small town, it is home to countless events of all kinds - from traditional to musical and sporting events. And best of all, it all happens in an atmosphere of friendliness and hospitality that is hard to find elsewhere
In Žalec, we never run out of two things: beer and good ideas, which we generously shower on visitors eager for unforgettable experiences.
After your adventure, head towards the lake, descend to the bottom of the Inferno, stroll through the archaeological park, refresh at the town fountain and take a peek into Fanny's home. Together.
When you're feeling the adrenaline rush, climb a natural rock wall, descend into the underground, cycle through hops, explore the forests and see the surroundings from horseback. We have.
Žalec is part of the wider Lower Savinjska Valley destination, which brings together six municipalities (Žalec, Vransko, Polzela, Braslovče, Prebold and Tabor) with a common goal: to connect tourism potentials and providers and to raise tourism in the area to a higher level.
Since the very beginning, Žalec has been actively participating in the Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, which awards the quality certificate under the umbrella brand SLOVENIA GREEN, signifying compliance with a wide range of requirements in the field of sustainable tourism.
In 2022, Žalec was awarded the Slovenia Green Destination Silver certification."
