Rose Manor is the oldest house in Radlje – it was built in the 15th century. In the Middle Ages, the Rosenhof hosted counts who played important roles at the Habsburg Court, and in the beginning of the 19th century, it housed a school and a nursery.

The architectonical elements are redesigned while the first floor arcades in the northern tract are preserved. The entrance to the building is through a Renaissance portal made from sandstone dating back to 1666, which was most probably transported from the Radlje Monastery (with the coat-of-arms of the Mahrenberg Lords and the abbess of the Dominican Monastery – Marija Ivana Linzer) somewhere before or after WWII.

The town under the bushy Uršlja Gora has a sports centre with different halls, an Olympic and winter pool, an athletic stadium, a ski slope, a mountain bike park, a sauna, a gym and many playgrounds. The preserved technical heritage in the area of the Old Ironworks factory is a great starting point for the municipal cultural tourism.

Radlje ob Dravi was first mentioned in 1139 as villa Radela, and as a market settlement in 1268. The venerable age of the settlement is revealed by the excavations from the Roman era. The city was placed on the tourist map of Slovenia with the Radlje ob Dravi Water Park – the first natural pool in Slovenia – and it has been awarded the Slovenia Green Silver sign for its green endeavours. The numerous cultural sights, innovative sports infrastructure and mostly unspoiled nature at the edge of Pohorje in Kozjak offer their visitors various activities. Among others, exploring nature on four themed educational paths (forest, bee-keeping and two on water), walking or cycling on the roadless areas and exploring culture with museum exhibitions and in mysterious churches.

The history of Prevalje is the history of ironworks, since the ironworks factory located in Prevalje was the strongest in this part of Europe up to its closing. The municipality boasts a rich cultural history: the Roman stones excavated in Zagrad, two wonderful Gothic churches above Leše, the Štopar Bridge, an incredible technical monument, the former seat of the St. Mohor’s Society publishing house (Mohorjeva družba), and the idea of the reading badge for schoolchildren, which was born here. You most certainly need to visit the Šentanel tourist village, take a walk to Poljana, where the soldiers fought the final battles of WWII in Europe, as well as the Holmec border crossing, which saw one of the most important battles in the 1991 independence war for Slovenia. The Single Trail Park at Jamnica attracts mountain bikers from all around the world.

Podvelka is an interesting settlement on the right Drava embankment. This location has once solely been the dwelling of forest workers, who prepared the wood that was washed ashore for selling. The uninhabited steep slopes are a paradise for visitors who enjoy peace, the freshness of nature and the clear forest air. You can find this at Janževski Vrh, Javnik and Lehn on Pohorje as well. The most popular tourist options include a timber rafting ride on the Drava River in the Javnik tourist village and the Church of St. John at Janževski Vrh which is said to have an incredibly strong and healing positive energy. At Kapla on Kozjak the hikers can take a walk down the Vantage Path (razgledna pot) with 19 stops and the Path of the Heart (srčna pot), which is shorter and easier.

Muta is located in the natural cradle between Pohorje, Drava and Kobansko. This place bears the stamp of forgers and iron foundries of the past. Several centuries of activity are religiously maintained by the Forge and Fire-Fighting Museum. Alongside the numerous cultural monuments, we need to point out the Kienhofen manor, which houses the museum, and also the round succursal church of St. John the Baptist. Calm and beautiful walks in idyllic nature, during all seasons of the year, are offered by the neighbouring Gortina, Pernice, Sveti Primož and Sveti Jernej nad Muto.
