The municipality of St. Andraž v Slovenskih goricah is situated a little north of Ptuj, in the eastern part of the Pesnica valley. It spreads over the hills of the central Slovenske gorice, between Ptuj, Lenart, Radenci, Gornja Radgona and Ljutomer. The municipality comprises seven settlements: Drbetinci, Vitomarci, Hvaletinci, Rjavci, Slavšina, Novinci and Gibina, and covers an area of 17.6 square kilometres. The inhabitants mostly make a living from farming, stockbreeding, fruit growing and viticulture, as well as from the catering industry and tourism. There are 12 clubs in the municipality, four of which are sports clubs. There is a separate section of the primary school, which pupils attend for six years before continuing their schooling in the central primary school in Crkvenjak for a further three years. You can see the church of St. Andraž from far away. It is an idyllic and charming spot, fairy tale-like, where the past and the present harmoniously come together. The municipality of St. Andraž in Slovenske gorice, in its present form, was founded in December 1998, and has been named after the patron saint of the parish church St. Andraž. The centre of the municipality is the village of Vitomarci, where the municipal administration, the local office, the post office, the doctor’s office, the fire brigade, the primary school, the kindergarten, the agricultural cooperative and the parish church are located. The activities of the municipality began in March 1999, after it had established the municipal administration. The boundaries of the municipality and the parish of St. Andraž are the same.
