Oplotnica (pronounced [ɔˈploːtnitsa]; German: Oplotnitz) is a small town and municipality in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the Oplotniščica River, a left tributary of the Dravinja River, to the north of Slovenske Konjice. The area was part of the traditional region of Styria and formerly part of Austria-Hungary. The municipality is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.[2]
