In Žalc, Slovenia, a beer fountain has celebrated its tenth anniversary, with over 200,000 liters of beer dispensed since opening. The attraction, called Zeleno Zlato, has drawn visitors from around the world, including guests from South Africa, Brazil, the United States, and Asian countries. Locals describe the site as a tribute to the hop-growing heritage of the Lower Savinja Valley.

Each bottle costs 12 euros for six 1 deciliter servings. Additional options include refill stations priced at 10 euros for three servings or 14 euros for ten. A chip system ensures each bottle is used once. Over the past decade, the attraction has allowed visitors to sample beer from approximately 60 Slovenian microbreweries, offering around 100 different varieties. Beyond beer, the site has become a gathering place for locals and hosts numerous concerts and events. The fountain’s unique concept combines tourism with local culture, providing more than just a drink. It has become a notable destination within the region, attracting both domestic and international tourists.
