mesto and alongside the motorway connection with Slovenia’s capital, Ljublja-

as known to the Counts of Turjak in the 14th century. According to an ancient
legend, the fi rst to discover the benefi cial eff ects of the thermal waters of Do-
lenjske 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. Th e water in the puddle however was no ordinary rainwater but
healing thermal water. When the sexton found his dog, the water’s eff ects had
already alleviated the pain and cured the injured paw.

On the Experiences of a Rich PastTh e development of the Dolenjske Top-
lice 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. Th e historic memory
of Dolenjske Toplice was the most pro-
foundly aff ected 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. Th e
Counts of Auersperg completely renovat-
ed the resort several times, lastly in 1899
when the existent Hotel Kristal was built.
Th e patina and tradition of its glorious
past and the fi ndings of modern-day spa
tourism intertwine in today’s excellent

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 benefi cial eff ects of the world-renown black thermo-min-
eral water of Terme 3000. Th e Pannonian Sea that occupied this area millions
of years ago left a rich heritage of thermal springs. Th ese 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. Th e curious locals secretly opened the valve and began taking the hot
black water home in buckets. Th ey soon realised its benefi cial eff ects. In the
1960s, the water’s healing eff ects on human health and wellbeing were corrobo-
rated by scientists.

Unique Black WaterTh e development of tourism in Terme
3000 is based on the unique black ther-
mo-mineral water that springs from a
depth of 1,175 to 1,467 metres. At the
wellspring, the turbid, salty water, slight-
ly smelling of oil, reaches a temperature
of around 72 degrees centigrade, making
it even more valuable and rare, as hydro-
carbonate waters usually rise cold from
the depths of the earth.
Bathing in the black thermo-mineral wa-
ter strengthens the organism. With its
high mineral content, the black water has
an analgesic eff ect and, as a hydro-car-
bonate water, it expands the blood ves-
sels and has a positive eff ect on chronic
infl ammations of various causes in dif-
ferent parts of the body. It is known to
reduce nervous tension.

Th e Olimia Th ermal Spa is located in the Obsotelje area at the heart of Koz-
jansko, in Southeast Slovenia along the Croatian border. It is surrounded by
a mosaic of Alpine foothills, vineyard-covered hills and the Obsotelje plains.
Th ere are several accounts of when the benefi cial eff ects of thermal water were
discovered in this area. Oral tradition says that the Barons from Miljana in Ha-
rine 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 eff ects. 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.
Th e town of Olimje, which has been living with organised spa tourism for al-
most 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.

Awakening Traditions of Pleasure Th e tradition of bathing in Ptuj dates
back to Antiquity when Roman patricians
visited the thermae or baths. Th ere 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 de-
cided to bore into the earth once again.
Th ermal water bubbled to the surface
again and is now a source of new forms
of pampering. Th is young spa revives the
old Roman traditions!
Banishing Rheumatism and other ProblemsTh is thermo-mineral water provides re-
lief from rheumatic diseases and helps

Th e Radenci Health Resort invites you to north-eastern Slovenia, to an area

ing mills. Th e resort is located some fi ve kilometres from the larger town of
Gornja Radgona along the Austrian border and 13 kilometres from Murska So-
bota. 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 fi rst visit to Radenci. After thoroughly analysing
the water, Henn returned to Radenci as a renowned doctor and fi lled the fi rst
bottle of “Radenska” mineral water in 1869. Later, these bottles were supplied
to the imperial court in Vienna and the papal court in Rome. Th e health resort
welcomed its fi rst guests almost 130 years ago, in 1882.

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”. Th e health resort truly fl ourished in the second half of
the 19th century, when Rogaška was enjoying a golden age under Count Ferdi-
nand Attems and was visited by ruling families and members of the high no-
bility. Th is select clientele was entertained by some of the foremost artists of
the age, among them the Hungarian Romantic composer and virtuoso pianist
Franz Liszt.

Talaso Strunjan is distinguished by its outstanding location beside the sea at
the heart of a nature park famous for its steep and high cliff s, abundant Medi-
terranean vegetation, and millennium-old salt pans where salt is still produced
today using traditional methods. In Strunjan, peace and wellbeing are also con-

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. Th ey even came in carts to fi ll 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.

of pine boards. Below the wood, which

stiff clay holding the water. Th e pool has

Known for Centuries but Never DryTh e Topolšica springs have been known
since the 16th century and were fi rst
opened to the public in 1838, but a true
thermal spring for healing purposes
was only established six decades later
when the fi rst 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.
