Stage 2: Žalec - Rogaška Slatina
13 June 2024
The hop-growing centre of Slovenia, famous for its beer fountain and Eco-Museum of Hop-Growing and Brewing Industry, also this year hosts the start of the second stage. The Šaleška Valley and its town of Velenje have a rich heritage of coal mining. The ancient Romans, the Counts of Celje and the world traveller Alma Karlin left their mark on historic Celje. Laško is where the traditions of beer brewing, beekeeping and thermal tourism meet. Before crossing the finish line in Rogaška Slatina, famous for its mineral water with the highest magnesium content in the world and its exceptional crystalware, cyclists pass another historic town, Šentjur.
