Topusko, set in the Glina river valley, is one of Croatia's oldest spa destinations. Its thermal springs, reaching temperatures of 68°C, were utilized by the Romans who called the settlement 'Ad Fines'. The volcanic origin of the water ensures a high mineral content, making it exceptionally effective for treating rheumatic and neurological conditions. The town's landmark is the monumental 13th-century Gothic portal of a former Cistercian abbey, standing in the middle of a lush park. Today, Topusko gives modern wellness facilities, including indoor and outdoor pool complexes and specialized medical rehabilitation centers. The Opatovina Park provides a serene environment for relaxing walks among ancient trees. The surrounding area is rich in forests, convenient for hiking, cycling, and hunting.
