This in itself is no small achievement for a small medieval town of only some 3,600 residents. However, there is much more to La\u0161ko than its internationally renowned brewing tradition.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with the town itself is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Slovenia, with a compact old city centre located in an enviable position amongst rolling hills and picturesque valleys that spread out in all directions from the river Savinja. The surrounding area is perfect for exploring by either bike or on foot, and long before beer was produced on a large commercial scale, the town was known for the healing powers of its thermal springs &#8211; which made it a favourite holiday spot of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph during the middle of the 19th century. Since then, La\u0161ko\u2019s Thermal Spa has grown into one of the most important health resorts and tourist centres in all of Slovenia, with its modern hotels packed year-round with guests from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a second thermal spa centre a few kilometres to the south of La\u0161ko in the charming village of Rimske Toplice, smaller than the complex in La\u0161ko proper, it\u2019s been recently renovated and is a great value. Elsewhere in the municipality, the main attraction is the ruins of the 12th century Cathusian monastery in Jurklo\u0161ter (about 15km to the east of Rimske Toplice) and the imposing settlement of Zidani Most, set high above the confluence of the Sava and Savinja rivers at the far western edge of the region.<\/p>\n<p>La\u0161ko\u2019s famed beer and thermal spring traditions along with the region\u2019s rich cultural and natural heritage have even been recognised by the European Commission, receiving a prestigious EDEN (European destination of excellence) award in 2013.\u00a0 La\u0161ko was rewarded also with Cerificate of Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, Slolevina Green Destionation Bronze.<\/p>\n<p>Of course the highlight of the year remains beer-related, with some 150,000 visitors flocking to the area for the annual Beer and Flower Festival every summer &#8211; something like Slovenia\u2019s version of Oktoberfest (only with more flowers and cheaper beer). All this is only a scant 10 minute drive, or train ride, south of Celje.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1536739996545_34816\" class=\"sqs-block gallery-block sqs-block-gallery\" data-block-json=\"{&quot;existingGallery&quot;:null,&quot;hSize&quot;:null,&quot;show-meta-only-title&quot;:false,&quot;newWindow&quot;:false,&quot;floatDir&quot;:null,&quot;methodOption&quot;:&quot;transient&quot;,&quot;aspect-ratio&quot;:&quot;square&quot;,&quot;aspectRatio&quot;:null,&quot;auto-crop&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay-duration&quot;:4,&quot;collectionId&quot;:&quot;5b98dba440ec9af8cd9f7ff1&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:true,&quot;design&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;lightbox&quot;:false,&quot;padding&quot;:20,&quot;show-meta&quot;:false,&quot;show-meta-basic&quot;:true,&quot;square-thumbs&quot;:true,&quot;thumbnails&quot;:false,&quot;thumbnails-per-row&quot;:4,&quot;vSize&quot;:null,&quot;transientGalleryId&quot;:&quot;5b98dba440ec9af8cd9f7ff1&quot;}\" data-block-type=\"8\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_211\" class=\" sqs-gallery-container sqs-gallery-block-grid sqs-gallery-aspect-ratio-square sqs-gallery-thumbnails-per-row-4 sqs-gallery-has-controls sqs-gallery-block-show-meta clear\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_228\" class=\"sqs-gallery sqs-gallery-design-grid\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_263\" class=\"slide sqs-gallery-design-grid-slide\" data-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"margin-wrapper\">\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sqs-gallery-meta-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1536739996545_59551\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<p><strong>LA\u0160KO MUSEUM<\/strong>: Set back off the city\u2019s main square in a beautifully renovated villa, the small but noteworthy museum was originally opened in 1910 in a different location. Dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history of La\u0161ko and the surrounding region, its collection is divided into three main areas: La\u0161ko throughout the course of time, beer brewing and spa tourism and the geological history of the area, with displays of archaeological findings and fossil records. Occasional exhibitions are also held.<strong> Info: A\u0161ker\u010dev Trg 5, tel. +386 (0)3 734 02 36, muzej@ stik-lasko.si, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stik-lasko.si\"><strong>www.stik-lasko.si<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0LA\u0160KO BREWERY TOUR<\/strong>: Founded all the way back in 1825 by a local producer of mead and gingerbread (and a tasty combo that is!), the brewery was originally located in the Valvasorjev \u0160pital building in the city centre. By far the most popular beer in Slovenia, La\u0161ko &#8211; or more specifically it\u2019s flagship Zlatorog brand (which for those keeping track, means \u2018mountain goat\u2019 in Slovene and is a Czech-style lager) &#8211; is also widely found on menus at restaurants and pubs throughout the former-Yugoslav states and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in finding out more about La\u0161ko\u2019s eponymous brew, a tour of the brewery is a must. The tour includes a stop by the city museum, where well-presented exhibits outline La\u0161ko\u2019s nearly 200 year brewing history &#8211; including the short-lived attempt at using water from the city\u2019s healing thermal spring in the process. After the museum, the tour moves across town to La\u0161ko\u2019s state of the art facilities and one of the largest breweries in the region, and concludes with a requisite beer tasting. While our all too well-documented taste for drink probably makes us biased, for our money the La\u0161ko brewery tour easily deserves a place among Slovenia\u2019s must-see attractions. Admission is \u20ac8,50 per person, and includes entrance to the museum, brewery and beer tasting.<strong> Info: Valvasorjev Trg 1, tel. +386 (0)3 733 89 50, tic@stik-lasko.si, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasko.info\"><strong>www.lasko.info<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1536739996545_75492\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-5 span-5 float float-right sqs-text-ready\" data-block-type=\"5\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_98\" class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_97\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none sqs-narrow-width\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_96\" class=\"intrinsic\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1548464231658_94\" class=\"image-block-wrapper has-aspect-ratio\" data-description=\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.the-slovenia.com\/shop\/the-slovenia-book-bm6er&quot;&gt;THE Slovenia Book present's Slovenia's Top 100 Destinations, tons of interviews and Top 10 lists, hundreds of amazing photos and lots more!

After being burnt to the ground by the Turks in 1487, the castle was for a time used as a camp and then left to slowly decline into ruins over the following two centuries. It was finally restored after being purchased by La\u0161ko Brewery in the mid-1980s, and today houses the award winning Pavus restaurant, a summer garden and an incredibly popular wedding hall &#8211; if you visit on any given Saturday you\u2019ll like find the latter in use. <strong>Info: Cesta na Svetino 23, tel. +386 (0)3 620 07 23, +386 (0)41 264 478, info@pavus.si, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pavus.si\"><strong>www.pavus.si<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0THE HOME OF ANTON A\u0160KERC<\/strong>: The family house of legendary Slovene poet Anton A\u0161kerc (1856 &#8211; 1912) in the village of Seno\u017eete near Rimske Toplice is not only open for tourists, but actually run by the poet\u2019s own grandnephew, who has turned the premises into a museum.
