The Roman Baths of Slovenia, also known as Rimski Terma, are a mineral spring and bath complex located in a valley surrounded by forested mountains. These baths have been in use since the Roman Empire and were frequented by soldiers and royalty due to their purported healing properties. The area around the baths features historical walking paths lined with trees, donated by high society visitors such as Victoria of Prussia, who gifted a giant sequoia.
Inside the complex, visitors can traverse a large, quiet space that leads to an outside area with a stunning view. The complex includes two smaller hot water mineral baths equipped with jets, as well as a sprawling space with chairs and umbrellas for outdoor lounging. In addition to its spa facilities, the Roman Baths of Slovenia also serves as a hiking area, hotel, restaurant, bar, and cafe.
Visitors are encouraged to fill their water bottles from the mineral spring and take note of the Latin phrases inscribed around the building and baths.
