Zalec

Few towns in the wider Karavanks region have a history as closely tied to hop growing as Žalec. Set in the Lower Savinja Valley near the Savinja River, it is the centre of Slovenia’s principal hop-growing district, where cultivation has shaped local life since the 19th century. The Slovene Ecomuseum of Hop Growing and Brewing documents this agricultural heritage, while the Green Gold Beer Fountain brings it into the town centre. The valley also connects Žalec with Celje and settlements beneath the Savinja Alps. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Karavanks connects regionally.
