“Radlje ob Dravi was first mentioned in 1139, and as a market town in 1268. Findings from the Roman period testify to its antiquity. Even today, Radlje has preserved its market town atmosphere. Visitors can choose among numerous possibilities for recreation, as the heterogeneous area offers many tracking, biking and educational paths. It is an ideal combination of pleasant and useful.”

“Among the valleys and woods of the Pohorje Massif, in the everyday life of villages and towns, it becomes obvious who we are, what is our identity, what makes us similar and different. Local communities are the core of cultural identity and a basis for weaving new cooperation networks. Therefore the Forum of Slavic Cultures has decided to open its first local cultural centre in the Slavic and European area right in the town of Radlje ob Dravi.”
