#ECOROCK
Gora Rocka is a festival that takes place in pristine nature, and therefore organizers do everything they can to minimize its impact. They serve drinks exclusively in washable cups of all sizes, mix coffee with sugar using wooden stirrers, and sip cocktails through special straws.
Rockers' Tree Alley
The biggest rock stars performing at the festival plant a tree every year. In 2023, members of the bands Laibach, Zablujena generacija, MRFY, and Slon in Sadež did so. With this, organisers aim to preserve the nature in which the festival takes place. Through the alley of trees, they give back fresh air to nature, without which there is no life, no food, no beer, and no rock!
The rock band Zablujena generacija posed alongside their tree in the Rockers' Tree Alley at the Gora Rocka festival in 2023. Author: Marko Čuk
