Slovenj Gradec with its old medieval city centre offers a genuine experience of cultural and historical heritage in connection with contemporary pulse of a small city. When walking through the city center, you will be able to get to know its cultural pearls in the collections of the Carinthian Gallery of Fine Arts and the Carinthian Provincial Museum and re-live the childhood years of composer Hugo Wolf at the house of his birth. At the end of this cultural and historical tour of the Peace Messenger city center, you also have a culinary experience at the Hiša Ančka restaurant on the outskirts of the city waiting for you.
In the immediate vicinity of Slovenj Gradec you will visit the Perger family where you will be able to pamper your taste buds with first-class honey candy, award winning organic gingerbread cookies and other honey desserts and enjoy listening to stories and family secrets that will be presented to you in a fun way by the family’s “living book”, Master Hrabroslav himself.
Next to spiritual relaxation, your physical well-being will also be taken care of, as the Mislinja Valley hides many paths and natural beauties at the foot of Western Pohorje and Uršlja gora mountain, which are worth discovering. Its pristine nature and the green forested landscape offer peace to travelers and a break from the stressful city bustle.
Welcome to Slovenj Gradec and the Mislinja valley!
