Its massive Summer and Winter Thermal Rivieras offer an incredible array of indoor and outdoor pools, water slides, wave machines, and pirate-themed areas, making it a top-tier destination for families. The local thermal springs, discovered in the early 19th century, are also utilized for extensive medical rehabilitation and wellness treatments. Beyond the pools, the area is rich in history and nature. Nearby Brežice Castle features the impressive 'Knight's Hall' with world-class Baroque frescoes, while the medieval Mokrice Castle now serves as a luxury hotel with one of Slovenia's finest golf courses.
