After crossing a small mountain range and on the banks of the Savinha River, we finally found Lako, the small town of Lashko, which was very exciting.

This beautiful town near the river has only 4,500 inhabitants and is an important tourist and economic center in Slovenia.

It's famous for its brewed beer and magical thermal waters, but its natural beauty, cultural and historical landscapes are equally alluring.

Looking from the hotel balcony, there is a thin and shallow river meandering through the town.

The mountains are gently covered by the sunlight that sneaks through, and the trees are green and yellow.

What do you want from a perfect trip?

Flowers?

beer?

Sunlight?

music?

A laid-back town?

Escape from the two-point and one-line life, re-explore the unknown and surprises, and find the balance of life?

This balance point is perfectly realized in the small town of Lashko!

Here, you'll be surrounded by rivers, mountains, hot springs, home-brewed beer, flowers and sunshine.

First impressions of walking around the town. The director of the Laco Museum warmly welcomed us and took us around to slowly appreciate this small town with mountains and water.

I noticed that he was wearing a casual, white-washed large T-shirt, which was different from the general image of a town cadre.

In subsequent contacts, I came to appreciate his simple lifestyle even more.

He was a warm-hearted and kind man who always laughed at his poor English.

He said he liked the town so much that he wanted to explain everything about it as clearly as possible.

This town has a long history: archaeologists have discovered prehistoric settlements in the Lashko area; a stone axis unearthed on the southeast slope below the castle dates back to the eighth century BC; the town's oldest large-scale industry originated in the 18th century;

The brewing process began in 1817, when brewer Ivan Steinmetz also established a brewery in Rasko.

The railway reached Lashko in 1849; the first leather factory was established in 1929; the first textile factory was built in 1934.

In 1840, a fire devastated Lashko, destroying half of the houses in the town.

The curator took us onto the bridge and suddenly stopped and said.

He was born here, lived here all his life, and has too many feelings for it.

What surprised me was that this small town with a small population has 2 middle schools and 2 kindergartens, but 33 churches.

It can be seen how simple and pious the local people's lives are.

In the museum of Lashko, beer is one of the most important cultural aspects, changing the way of life of the locals.

In addition, the museum has an important collection, the oldest gramophone, which produces sound by identifying holes in a disc.

It predates vinyl records.

From a box of CDs, the curator picked out his favorite one and played it to us.

The sound echoed in the venue, crisp and clean, a bit like the music box of childhood. It has a feeling that cannot be found in today's electronic equipment.

He talked about music and collaboration between museums and schools.

He tried to encourage students to visit, saying that people nowadays are pursuing novelty and have never seen such equipment.

Then he laughed at himself and said that he was old and liked these old things. He thought old things were beautiful and recorded many valuable old times.

I asked him why he chose to organize and preserve his collection and history in a museum.

He said he found history interesting because he knew it had its boring parts.

I have remembered this sentence for a long time.

His family lifestyle also had a great influence on him.

He said that none of his family members are too ambitious and like to enjoy life.

Today, my family still farm their fields, my parents still work, and the whole family loves soil and nature, and they love these things that are really not flashy.

He took out his phone and checked the time.

The style of the mobile phone is very simple, with a small screen that can only be used for dialing.

He stayed away from almost all modern technology and said that if he could change one thing, he would have all cars parked outside the town.

It seemed to me that he also stopped doing things that were meaningless outside of his heart.

There is only one bank in Lashko, and nothing gives much choice.

Everyone is simple and direct.

In the end, the curator stayed, and it was said that this was probably what he expected from the town.

Beer also has emotions.

Lá?ko itself is one of the oldest residential areas in Slovenia, with the compact old town nestled in an enviable and absolute center among rolling hills and picturesque valleys.

In fact, in Slovenia, the word Lako has almost become synonymous with beer.

It’s not that this medieval town with only about 4,500 residents is too unknown, but that Lashko’s internationally renowned brewing tradition is so famous!

The curator took us to visit the local beer committee, whose main responsibility is to inspect the pubs selling Lashko beer to see if they pour the beer in the correct way and whether it is hygienic.

After a brief welcome, the head of the beer committee introduced us to the origins and history of Rushko beer, and then began to teach us how to pour the beer correctly.

Before this, I never knew that pouring beer, which seemed simple, actually contained so much knowledge!

The bubbles should be 3-4cm thick, not too many or too few, and the bubbles should be 1cm higher than the mouth of the cup.

After a few practice sessions and help, I gradually got the hang of it.
