About location

Prevalje is best known within Slovenia for its position in the narrow Meža Valley, close to the Austrian border. The town lies in Slovenian Carinthia, among the Karavanks, where forested slopes rise above a settled valley shaped by the Meža River. Nearby Poljana is remembered for the Battle of Poljana in May 1945, fought in the final days of the Second World War and often described as Europe’s last battle of the conflict. Prevalje developed around ironworking and mining, industries that long defined the valley. Their legacy remains an important part of local identity. The Meža meets the Drava at Dravograd, creating a natural corridor through this mountainous corner of Slovenia.
