About Vuzenica

Vuzenica is idyllically situated on the right bank of the Drava River and stands out for its reputation as one of the oldest settlements in the Drava Valley. In the past, raftsmen navigated "rafts" here, while carriers actively transported goods along the Drava River. Numerous fairs added a vibrant atmosphere to the town. The remains of the old castle and the parish church of St. Nicholas still bear witness to the former glory of the place. The church was once home to Anton Martin Slomšek, a gentle poet and national awakener. Autumn walks through nearby Dravče, St. Primož on Pohorje, St. Vid and Šentjanž above Dravče are particularly pleasant. The landscape, offering countless opportunities for recreation in pristine nature, forest fruits and homemade delicacies, is interwoven with numerous hiking trails. In Vuzenica, you can rent an electric bicycle and set off on a ride through the nearby and distant surroundings. The large sports park offers exceptional training opportunities. Accommodation is also available in the town center. Vuzenica is worth exploring by bicycle or on foot, as the natural experience becomes even richer. Numerous ascents are always rewarded with magnificent views.
