According to an ancient legend, the first to discover the beneficial effects of the thermal
waters of Dolenjske Toplice was the sexton’s dog. It is said that the owner found his injured dog at a thermal pool, bathing its injury in the warm water. The written history of Dolenjske
Toplice dates back to 1228. Half a millennium later, in 1776, the Hotel Vital was built here, followed in 1899 by the Hotel Kristal. Both hotels are still open today. You can enjoy the thermal water in the hotel pools and at the Balnea Wellness Centre, which extends over an area of 9,200 m2 and guarantees that even the most demanding guests will be properly pampered.
