About Radlje ob Dravi

Radlje ob Dravi has been known as a settlement since Roman times; it was first mentioned as a nucleated settlement in 1161 and later as a market town in 1268. This town by the Drava is renowned for its hospitality, sustainable development, and, last but not least, its excellent beer and local apple juice. It is one of two municipalities in Koroška to boast the Slovenia Green Destination – Gold certificate, confirming its care for nature and commitment to preserving the connection between people and the environment. Here, you will also find the first natural swimming pool in Slovenia – the Radlje ob Dravi Water Park. With a natural pool just a few steps from the center, it attracts both locals and international visitors. The location is motorhome-friendly, and the pool also holds the prestigious Blue Flag award. Since a large amount of hops is grown in the surrounding area, the brewery's location nearby is not only practical but also logical. Let your taste buds explore various flavors of craft beer, while younger visitors can enjoy delicious locally produced apple juice. A special feature of Radlje is the Pahernik forests, a unique example of sustainable forestry where the heritage of careful forest management has been preserved for generations. These forests are imbued with peace, magical silence, and a sense of eternity. When you enter them, time slows down, every breath brings greater clarity, and nature invites you to stop and listen. Radlje invites you to explore nature along numerous educational and thematic trails, cycle along the Drava or on picturesque mountain paths, and discover culture through museum exhibitions or mysterious churches.
