Municipality of Gornja Radgona, Historic municipality in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia
The Municipality of Gornja Radgona is an administrative district in Slovenia that stretches across rolling terrain along the Mur River. At its center stands a castle on elevated ground, visible from the Austrian side of the river and serving as a landmark for the landscape.
The area was part of Austria-Hungary until 1919, when it was divided between Austria and Slovenia following World War I. This split separated the municipality from its neighboring settlement across the river.
The area bears the mark of its position between Slovenia and Austria, visible in how buildings blend styles from both sides of the border. This shared heritage shapes how the community expresses itself through its local traditions and appearance.
The municipality is shaped by the Mur River and offers access to natural warm water springs in the surrounding area. Visitors should know that the region is surrounded by Austria on several sides, with border crossings easily reached.
The region is home to natural thermal springs with temperatures around 80 degrees Celsius, long valued for their therapeutic properties. This geothermal wealth now draws visitors interested in wellness and natural health treatments.
