The town Radece is located
in the central landscape of the Posavje Hills
(Posavsko hribovje), at the confluence of the
Sopota stream and the Sava river.
Radece was first mentioned
in 1297; however, archaeological finds include
such items as tools made of bones, the bones of
the cave bear, altars of the water gods, a
sacrifice altar to the goddess Adsaluta and god
Savus. The town was granted its market charter
in 1338, in 1925 Radece became a town and in
1995 a municipality.
The town has been renewed by the paper
industry, and has been given modern
foundations for development by its rich
cultural heritage and untouched nature. Its
development is closely connected to the Sava
River as well, as it used to be an important
traffic route for rafting transport. The
confluence of the Sava and Savinja in the
nearby Zidani Most gave Radece a role of the
central rafting port. Its tradition is
preserved until today by the
Radece rafters
who awaken the memories of the old customs
of their ancestors at the annual event
Rafting Days on the Sava (Dnevi splavarjenja
na Savi).
