Its core area is the 30 km long and 10 km wide Lower Savinja valley in the middle part of the Savinja river, where Celje, the third largest Slovenian city and regional centre, was established at the confluence of several rivers.
The population and economic centres of the region are the hop-growing Lower Savinja Valley with Celje and Žalec as the main towns, and the smaller Velenje Basin, the energy producing centre of Slovenia, with Velenje as its main town.
The Alpine part of the region in the upper reach of the Savinja river and the hilly area south-east of Celje are economically very weak since it is virtually impossible to make a living from agriculture due to the unfavourable natural conditions and the structure of land ownership.
