A town of healthy waters and brewing tradition by the Savinja River

Laško is the confluence of well-being and health, brewing, beekeeping and herbalism. In the town below a castle, the Thermana Laško Spa is located right next to the Savinja River, and the Rimske terme Spa is not far away.

Laško. The most beautiful nest in our land. It rests by the clean Savinja River and sunbaths as a beautiful girl in the morning sun.
