Radlje ob Dravi is a key regional center in the upper Drava Valley, located near the Austrian border. The town possesses a rich history closely linked to the Marenberg Dominican Monastery, founded in 1298, which influenced the area's spiritual and economic life for centuries. Radlje Castle, originally a medieval fortress, was later reconstructed in the Baroque style and currently houses a local museum. Geographically, the town is surrounded by the dense forests of the Kozjak Mountains and the Drava River, providing a photogenic setting. In recent years, Radlje ob Dravi has become a leader in sustainable tourism, notably with the opening of Slovenia's first biological swimming pool. The municipality's economy today is a blend of modern industry, forestry, and organic farming. The town also serves as an important hub for cross-border traffic between Slovenia and the Austrian state of Styria.
