Along the Town Walls of Slovenj Gradec

Slovenj Gradec is a town best discovered slowly, step by step, among old streets, quiet passages and traces of the past that still shape its character today. The guided experience Along the Town Walls of Slovenj Gradec takes you alongside the remains of the former town walls, where the story of one of the oldest towns in Slovenia unfolds. During the walk, you feel the pulse of the medieval town centre, discover how the town grew, protected itself and lived through the centuries, and uncover corners you might otherwise pass by without noticing their true value. This is not just a town tour, but a pleasant journey through time, where history intertwines with today’s urban life, and architecture with the stories of the people who left their mark on the town.

The route leads you past the most beautiful and recognisable sights of Slovenj Gradec, from the charming old town centre and town squares to the Church of St. Elizabeth, one of the town’s most important buildings, and cultural points that connect Slovenj Gradec with art, music and the wider European space. Along the way, you discover the Koroška Gallery of Fine Arts, the Carinthian Regional Museum, the birthplace of composer Hugo Wolf, the picturesque Rotenturn Manor and other town highlights that give Slovenj Gradec its recognisable character
