Dravograd - Radlje ob Dravi / via Vuzenica

Vuzenica is renowned as one of the oldest towns in the Drava Valley. In the past, rafters launched their “flosa” from here, while hauliers transported their goods along the river Drava. On the other side of the river lies Muta, which hides the wonderful rotunda of Saint John the Baptist, one of the oldest churches in Slovenia, as well as Mitnica. Its name is derived from the toll station (mitninska postaja), which was located in the vicinity during the Middle Ages. In the middle of the Drava Valley, between Dravograd and Maribor, right next to the Austrian border, lies the town of Radlje, which is surrounded by the hills of Kozjak on one side and the hills of Pohorje, covered by some of the most beautiful forests in Slovenia, on the other. History first records Marenberg (Radlje ob Dravi) as a nucleated village, with the seat of Marenberg aristocracy at the Marenberg Castle, called Kamen or Stein. The market also features the formed building of the monastery of the Dominican Order.
