Mežica
Mežica (; German: Mießdorf) is a town and a municipality in northern Slovenia. It lies on the Meža River in the traditional Slovenian province of Carinthia) near the Austrian border. The town developed close to a lead and zinc mine under Mount Peca. Mining began in 1665 and ended in 1994. Today the mine is only open for tourist visits.
The town once had a small ski area on Mount Peca, but this closed soon after the mining operations ceased to operate.
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint James. It is a single- nave building built in 1840 to replace an earlier smaller building.
