Rimski vrelec, Health resort and cultural heritage site in Kotlje, Slovenia

Description

Rimski vrelec is a health resort set at the foot of Uršlja Mountain, featuring a natural mineral spring with water rich in iron content. The site includes sports facilities and ski slopes that make the grounds usable across different seasons.

History

This place began in the late 1800s as a health center called Römerquelle and became an important mineral water source for the Austrian-Hungarian region. The water was exported to many countries, including the United States, which helped build its reputation across Europe.

Culture

The site takes its name from Roman springs that have long captured local imagination. The mineral water remains connected to how people in the region view health and natural wellness.

Practical

This place is easiest to reach in good weather or during winter months, depending on which activities interest you. Visitors should consider whether they are drawn to winter sports or to the thermal properties of the water to plan their visit accordingly.

Did you know?

The spring was named after Roman remains found nearby, even though its actual documented use appears in medieval sources. This gap between the name and its true historical use makes the site particularly interesting for those curious about regional history.
