history
The place is mentioned for the first time in 1404 and originally belonged to the Duchy of Steyer (Styria). Thanks to the hammer mills , the boom began. In 1724 the first plants were already in operation. In the middle of the 19th century, this branch of the economy increasingly lost its importance. Forestry began around 1900. A cardboard lid factory, a barrel workshop, some sawmills and also a power station for self-consumption were built. A 9.4 km long narrow-gauge railway to Mislinjski jarek was also built. At that time it was the only such forest railway in Central Europe. It was in operation until 1956.
