The Drau valley, which is very narrow over long stretches between Kozjak and Pohorje, widens in the Radlje area to a small plain called Radeljsko polje ( Mahrenberger Feld ).
There is a connection to Eibiswald and thus to Austria via the Radlpass ( Radelj ) .

1 Some villages in the municipality had to temporarily change their names due to the 1948 Act on the Naming of Settlements, Squares, Roads and Buildings. The change was made in 1955 and affected Sveti Anton (then called Planina ), Sveti Trije Kralji ( Brezovec ) and Šent Janž ( Suhi Vrh pri Radljah ). However, all three got their old names back in 1993.
