Municipality Mislinja
Mark the correct answers. Mislinja existed as a municipality during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 1955, when it was merged into the larger Municipality of Slovenj Gradec. It regained independence in 1995. With an area of 112 km², Mislinja is one of the larger municipalities in Slovenia. It includes 11 settlements, around 1,265 house numbers, and has approximately 4,700 residents. It is a typical rural municipality, stretching from 520 meters above sea level in Spodnje Dovže up to Črni Vrh, the highest peak of Pohorje at 1,543 meters. The municipality covers the upper Mislinja Valley—from the river’s source near Rogla to Dovže—and the Dolič Basin, reaching from the source of the Paka River to Huda Luknja, including hilly areas between Paški Kozjak, Pohorje, and Graška Gora. Major settlements developed along the Paka (Srednji and Gornji Dolič) and Mislinja Rivers (Mislinja, Šentilj).
Church of St. Egidij / Giles
How many churches did you notice along the way? In Mislinja, there are several churches, but we are now at the parish church of St. Egidij / Giles, first mentioned in 1296. The current post-Baroque building was constructed between 1815 and 1819, preserving the early Gothic chancel tower from the late 13th century. The interior is post-Baroque in style. A Roman tombstone from Zgornje Dovže is built into the church wall, and behind the church stand the gravestones of former owners of the Mislinja manor.
School Apiary / Beehive
Insert missing word. In 2014, a wooden school apiary / beehive was built next to the primary school, representing a valuable example of beekeeping cultural heritage. The beehives were funded by the local municipality and artistically painted by an academic painter].
SKI JUMPING HILLS MISLINJA
Match the pairs. There are four ski jumping hills as part of the ski jumping centre Mislinja. They are: HS-93M, HS-72M, HS-35M and HS-15M. They use plastic matting. The centre has an infrastructure that is unmatched by many Slovenian ski jumping centres. There is a chairlift, lightning, etc. In 2000, FIS Nordic Combined World Cup B and FIS Ski Jumping Continental Cup were held here.
Zois Park
How many different professions are depicted on the statue in the park? The entrepreneur, Michelangelo Zois, purchased the ironworks in 1753. He handed over the estate to his son, Žiga Zois, in 1770. Žiga Zois was a well-known patron of the Slovenian artists. The estate, which included a big garden and a park, was cared for extremely well. The park is for the most part still preserved. The magnificent trees, which are about 250 years old, are one of the largest in Slovenia.
Štrekna trail
Take a photo of a section of the cycling path Štrekna is a cycle path that has been constructed along the abandoned route of the former Velenje–Dravograd railway line. As the name implies, it runs along a (now disused) railway track which is referred to as Štreka by the locals. The railway path is set through Huda luknja gorge and against the scenic backdrop of the Pohorje mountains and Mt Uršlja Gora, featuring some of the country's best bike infrastructure.
