Slovenj Gradec is the seat of the only municipality in the statistical Carinthia region and the legal, economic, banking, school, information, health, supply center of Mislinjska dolina and the wider area of Carinthia. The ancient city in the basin between Pohorje and Uršlja gora is also a Slovenian synonym for cultural center, where the rich tradition of the past lends itself to a modern pulse. The rapid development of economic and service possibilities in recent years has therefore happily shooked up here with the ancient spiritual tradition and natural resources in the vicinity of the urban center. Historical monuments connect us to the past at every step and easily lull us into a feeling of romantic nostalgia, and at the same time remind us that we are only humble but proud successors of the story that began in the gray ancient.
But the venerable urban tradition and cosmopolitan openness to the world are only part of the landscape and spiritual atmosphere of the world near Mislinja. Here, the rural hinterland preserved archaic originality and a large part of the ancient primal beauty. At any time of the year, the tempting and almost unspoiled nature is immersed in a softly loose view of the forests of overgrown hills, which is only here and there intersected by a torrent from many sources on the surfaces of Pohorje and Uršlje gora and cuts deep and narrow hollows, where the mists crawl there until noon, when the sun in the valley already warms the meadows and fields.
