Babbling waters
Slovenian thermal tourism has not developed by chance. Particularly in eastern Slovenia, the site tens of millions of years ago of the
Pannonian Sea, there are many thermal springs. The benefits of Slovenian thermal waters were first discovered by the
Romans. In the middle ages, nobles from all over Europe came to Slovenia for the waters.
The discovery of the healthy
mineral waters of Radenska and
Donat Mg gave an important boost to tourism. Therapeutic effects in thermal waters were also discovered in organic and inorganic
peloids: humus and mineral-rich mud.
