Slovenj Gradec

Slovenj Gradec combines the intimacy of a medieval centre with the open setting of the Mislinja Valley, a contrast that reflects its position between the Pohorje hills and the Karavanks. The Mislinja River runs through the town, linking its streets to the broad valley of northern Slovenia. Glavni trg forms the heart of the old centre, with the Parish Church of St Elizabeth among its longstanding landmarks. Composer Hugo Wolf was born here in 1860, and the town is also recognised as a UN Messenger City of Peace, a title awarded in 1989.
