- six hundred years of tradition –
Slovenia’s oldest spa
- a partner for women of all ages
- a two hundred year old park with
feng-shui powers
The Dobrna Thermal Spa is Slovenia’s oldest working health resort with over six
hundred years of tradition. The hot spring in Dobrna has been known since the
times of the ancient Celts and Romans. The water was first used for healing purposes in 1403. The Zdraviliški dom spa hotel was built less than two hundred
years later and continues to be an active part of the thermal spa. It is famous for
its marble baths, which have survived to the present day. The stories of its glorious past are peopled by characters such as the Empress Maria Theresa, Count
Hoyosh, Napoleon’s brother and other notabilities.
The Dobrna Thermal Spa is located on the southern edge of Paški Kozjak at the
confluence of Topliški potok and Dobrnica – on the lee side, which gives it a
very moderate climate. The heart of the spa is the thermal spring, located in the
central part of Zdravilišli dom. The water springs from a depth of 1,200 m with
a spring temperature ranging from 35 to 36 °C. It is colourless, odourless and
has no specific taste.

as known to the Counts of Turjak in the 14th century. According to an ancient
legend, the first to discover the beneficial effects of the thermal waters of Dolenjske Toplice was the sexton’s dog. Injured one day as a carriage went over its
paw, the dog happened to step into a warm puddle and remained lying there too
hurt to move. The water in the puddle however was no ordinary rainwater but
healing thermal water. When the sexton found his dog, the water’s effects had

On the Experiences of a Rich Past
The development of the Dolenjske Toplice health resort was characterised by
the Counts of Auersperg from Turjak who
owned the spa from the end of the 14th to
the 19th centuries. The historic memory
of Dolenjske Toplice was the most profoundly affected by Count Henrik Jožef
Janez Auersperg, who built today’s Hotel
Vital between 1767 and 1776 and which
was the most prominent health resort
building in Carniola at that time. The
Counts of Auersperg completely renovated the resort several times, lastly in 1899
when the existent Hotel Kristal was built.
The patina and tradition of its glorious
past and the findings of modern-day spa
tourism intertwine in today’s excellent
Dolenjske Toplice Thermal Spa.
The Surroundings
The Dolenjska region houses the greatest
number of castles in Slovenia (Kostanjevica
na Krki, the Stična Monastery, etc.), which
adorn the banks and hills along the Krka
river. Novo mesto is known as the town of
situlae and numerous other discoveries. The
idyllic hilly Bela krajina with its characteristic hand made Easter eggs called “pisanice”
is close by.

and numerous wine cellars and shops are just
a few of the points of interest that will attract
your attention.
Green Coexistence with Green
Water
The greatest natural feature is the unique
thermo mineral paraffin water with its
green reflections. It was discovered in
1965 and its miraculous rejuvenating
powers led to the construction of a health
resort in this unique environment. The
green water is the basis for balneotherapy
at the spa. Products from the Spa-Lyndva
collection for the care of the face and
body are based on this paraffin water.
Small is Beautiful
Everything that Lendava Thermal Spa offers is close at hand and under one roof,
around a single courtyard. The modern
spa complex with saunas and a wide range
of wellness services is complemented by
special culinary experiences and numerous options for recreation. This small
thermal centre is a good base from which
to explore the surrounding area.
The Surroundings
On the edge of the Pannonian Plain, the
vineyard-covered hills are especially attractive. In addition to the natural beauties, visitors are fascinated by the cultural
and historical sights and their stories: the
Lendava Castle from the 12th century, the
Jewish Synagogue from the 19th century,
the Chapel with the mummified body of
Mihael Hadik, the Evangelical church from
the 20th century and the parish Church
of St. Katherine dating back to baroque
times.

in Slovenia
In the heart of the Prekmurje region in northeast Slovenia, where the slightly
hilly Goričko merges with the Pannonian Plain, a luxury of experiences awaits
you along with the beneficial effects of the world-renown black thermo-mineral water of Terme 3000. The Pannonian Sea that occupied this area millions
of years ago left a rich heritage of thermal springs. These were discovered by
chance in the mid-twentieth century while drilling for oil in the green meadows
not far from the village of Moravci. Believing that the springs were nothing
more than plain hot water, the workers of the oil company closed the drill hole
and left. The curious locals secretly opened the valve and began taking the hot
black water home in buckets. They soon realised its beneficial effects. In the
1960s, the water’s healing effects on human health and wellbeing were corroborated by scientists.

Unique Black Water
The development of tourism in Terme
3000 is based on the unique black thermo-mineral water that springs from a
depth of 1,175 to 1,467 metres. At the
wellspring, the turbid, salty water, slightly smelling of oil, reaches a temperature
of around 72 degrees centigrade, making
it even more valuable and rare, as hydrocarbonate waters usually rise cold from
the depths of the earth.
Bathing in the black thermo-mineral water strengthens the organism. With its
high mineral content, the black water has
an analgesic effect and, as a hydro-carbonate water, it expands the blood vessels and has a positive effect on chronic
inflammations of various causes in different parts of the body. It is known to
reduce nervous tension.
The Surroundings
Guests who wish to explore the surroundings will not be disappointed. They are in for
a number of culinary experiences exploring the world of wine tasting at the tourist

The Olimia Thermal Spa is located in the Obsotelje area at the heart of Kozjansko, in Southeast Slovenia along the Croatian border. It is surrounded by
a mosaic of Alpine foothills, vineyard-covered hills and the Obsotelje plains.
There are several accounts of when the beneficial effects of thermal water were
discovered in this area. Oral tradition says that the Barons from Miljana in Harine Zlake had their own bathing area here four centuries ago. It is said that the
Paulists from Olimje also used this warm water for its healing effects. Due to
the Roman money and bricks with legion marks that have been found near the
spa in Podčetrtek, there is a theory that Harine Zlake was even known to the
Romans.
The town of Olimje, which has been living with organised spa tourism for almost half a century, is proud to be the bearer of a gold medal in the village
category, received at the Entente Florale 2009 European competition for towns
and villages.

The allure of the sun, the sea and the Mediterranean climate, along with the

century, when Benedictine monks of the Monastery of St. Laurence used seawater and brine to treat rheumatism, obesity and dropsy. They also composed the
first methodology of treatments with natural elements of the Sečovlje salt pans.
The reputation of their healing effects kept on spreading across the world until
the present day. With its view of the sea, the thermal spa combines the best of

Awakening Traditions of Pleasure
The tradition of bathing in Ptuj dates
back to Antiquity when Roman patricians
visited the thermae or baths. There were
also baths in medieval Ptuj, while the
townsfolk made use of a bathing place
on the Drava river in the 19th century. A
century later, when the Ptuj public baths
had been closed for a long time, it was decided to bore into the earth once again.
Thermal water bubbled to the surface
again and is now a source of new forms
of pampering. This young spa revives the
old Roman traditions!
Banishing Rheumatism and other
Problems
This thermo-mineral water provides relief from rheumatic diseases and helps
with rehabilitation following injuries
and operations connected to the locomotor system, diseases troubling executives
and diseases of the peripheral nervous
system. Many therapeutic programmes
contribute to an increased feeling of wellbeing.
The Surroundings
As the oldest Slovenian town, Ptuj is full of
corners telling a magnificent story of the
past. These are supplemented by the rich
natural heritage of the Ptuj winegrowing
hills and the rich present and future culture
of Ptuj, partner to the European Capital of
Culture 2012 project.

Gornja Radgona along the Austrian border and 13 kilometres from Murska Sobota. Legend has it that industrious dwarves dug tunnels underground to reach
the mineral water. In 1833, an underground rumbling was heard by medical
student Karel Henn on his first visit to Radenci. After thoroughly analysing
the water, Henn returned to Radenci as a renowned doctor and filled the first
bottle of “Radenska” mineral water in 1869. Later, these bottles were supplied
to the imperial court in Vienna and the papal court in Rome. The health resort
welcomed its first guests almost 130 years ago, in 1882.

- four centuries of tradition
- excellent accommodation and a

- the healing power of Donat Mg
Rogaška Slatina is an old health resort town in East Slovenia near the Croatian
border. It is located on the edge of the winegrowing hills of Kozjansko, in the
embrace of three hills – Boč, Donačka gora and Plešivec – and surrounded by
rich forests.
Legend has it that the winged horse Pegasus drank from the Rogaška springs
on the orders of Apollo, who told Pegasus to strike open Roitschocrene, the
Rogaška well, with his hoof and drink from the well as it was “a source of health
and real divine power”. The health resort truly flourished in the second half of
the 19th century, when Rogaška was enjoying a golden age under Count Ferdinand Attems and was visited by ruling families and members of the high nobility. This select clientele was entertained by some of the foremost artists of
the age, among them the Hungarian Romantic composer and virtuoso pianist
Franz Liszt.

- an outstanding seaside location
- thalassotherapy centre
- beneficial Mediterranean climate
- seawater, sea mud and salt
Talaso Strunjan is distinguished by its outstanding location beside the sea at
the heart of a nature park famous for its steep and high cliffs, abundant Mediterranean vegetation, and millennium-old salt pans where salt is still produced
today using traditional methods. In Strunjan, peace and wellbeing are also connected to experiences of the infinite blue of the sea and the sky. At the top of
Moonlight Bay, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in 1512 to two
watchmen employed to guard the Strunjan vineyards, stands the most important pilgrim church in Istria. The cross near the church marks the junctions of
the so-called Dragons’ Roads and is one of the most important bioenergy centres on the planet. Walkers say that it restores their vital energy.

You enter Šmarješke Toplice just a few kilometres from Novo mesto, the capital
of the Dolenjska region, entering a world of vineyards, meadows, forests and,
above all, the relaxing embrace of thermal water. You also enter the world of
legends. One surrounds the drinking water spring in the immediate vicinity of
the health resort. Before a local water supply was provided, the locals came to
the spring every day. They even came in carts to fill barrels and buckets. A local
saying goes that the owner of this land put a sign next to the spring which said:
PRINESI NOVEC (meaning bring a coin), if you wish to drink the water. In time,
the letters ‘NESI’ disappeared and only PRINOVEC remained. And this is how
the benevolent and clear spring got its name.

The Wooden Pool above the Spring
The wooden pool constructed above the
thermal water spring in a park dating
back to the end of the 18th century is undoubtedly the most interesting of the

Toplice. The frame of the wooden pool
is made of oak planks and the bottom is
of pine boards. Below the wood, which
is free of chemical coatings, is a layer of
stiff clay holding the water. The pool has
a constant flow of fresh thermal water, so
the water in the pool can be changed in a
matter of hours. The pool is drained every
evening and is refilled with pure thermal
water with all its healing properties by
morning.
The Surroundings
If you wish to explore the surroundings of
Šmarješke Toplice, there is the beauty of

Known for Centuries but Never

The Topolšica springs have been known
since the 16th century and were first
opened to the public in 1838, but a true
thermal spring for healing purposes
was only established six decades later
when the first accommodation was built
for seasonal guests. At the turn of the
century, the Physical & Dietary Spa in
Topolšica was ready to start providing its
professional services. In the last decade,
the spa has undergone a rebirth with new
facilities, including the attractive new
Zora Aqua Park.
