In-Depth Information
Radenci is best known for its health spa resort, Terme Radenci, parts of which still feel
like a full-of-itself 19th-century spa town. The spa dominates activities for visitors, but
when most Slovenes hear the name they think of Radenska Tri Srca - the 'Radenci Three
Hearts' mineral water that's bottled here and consumed in every restaurant and cafe in the
land.

The Radenci Thermal Spa opened in 1882 and has three claims to
fame: water rich in carbon dioxide for drinking; mineral-laden thermal water (41°C) for
bathing; and sulphurous mud from Lake Negova for therapeutic and beauty treatments.
Today, thoroughly modern blocks overlook the few remaining older Victorian-style
buildings and a large wooded park. There are 10 pools of varying sizes, including large in-
door and outdoor thermal pools with temperatures of 30°C to 33°C. Guests of Terme
Radenci get free use; outsiders pay €9.50 per day. There are also various saunas and the
Corrium Wellness Centre
