Sveti Pankracij (Radelca)

Description of mountain:
The Church of St. Pankracij on Radelca is located at an altitude of 900 meters, directly on the border ridge between Slovenia and Austria. The original church stood at this site before 1490, but it was burned down by the Turks in 1532. The current neo-Gothic church was completed and blessed on September 6, 1910.
The history of the church closely reflects the turbulent border events. After the First World War, the state border between the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Austria ran exactly through the middle of the church. Only in 1966, following an international agreement, did the church fully belong to the Slovenian side.
The church's bell tower hides an extraordinary feature – in 1935, it was converted into a viewing tower with a prepared platform for tourism purposes. Access to it is available during the summer season, while in the winter period (from November 15 to April 15) it is closed for safety reasons.
From the top of the bell tower, a magnificent 360-degree view opens in all directions. On the Slovenian side, we admire part of the Drava Valley, Pohorje, and the surrounding hills. On the Austrian side, the view extends to the nearby Golica (Koralpe), and in good weather, even Peca, Obir, the Savinja Alps, and the Karawanks can be seen.
