Muta (pronounced [ˈmuːta]; German: Hohenmauthen[2]) is the largest settlement and the centre of the Carinthia Statistical Region of northern Slovenia.[3] Traditionally, it is part of Styria[4] because it was part of the Duchy of Styria.[5] The Muta Bistrica (Slovene: Mučka Bistrica) flows though the town, where it enters the Drava River.
