The medical resort of Radenci is more than 150 years old: long traditions are combined here with the latest achievements of modern medicine. In June 1996, the Panonske Terme thermal complex was opened at the resort with a system of 10 pools with thermal mineral water +33 ° C, an “Olympic” pool (+28.. + 29 ° C), hot massage springs, a pool for treatment according to the Kneipp method and several children’s pools with heated water. According to populationmonster, Radenci is one of the largest cities in Slovenia.
The complex is connected by covered passages with all local hotels, as well as with a treatment center.
How to get there
Getting to Radenci from Russia is not difficult – you can choose from five major airports at once. Firstly, the international air hub of the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, where Aeroflot flights fly. Secondly, near by is the Budapest airport, from which it is literally three hours away by car. Two more options are Vienna and Zagreb. And finally, the airport of the Croatian Pula. Flights there are only in season, but for any choice and color. In all cases, except for Ljubljana, it will not be very convenient to get there by public transport. You will have to make several transfers, so the best option is to book a car at the airport.
From Ljubljana, you can take a bus that takes about 4 hours (departures twice a day) and costs about 18-23 EUR one way. From Zagreb, Budapest and Vienna, you can take a bus in the first and second cases, or take a train (if you go from the capital of Austria), where you can already transfer to a bus to Radenci (1 hour on the way). Prices on the page are for July 2021.
In addition, the Radenci bus station receives buses from Slovenian Celje (the third largest city in the country, which is also considered a major transfer hub when traveling in Eastern Europe). The journey from Celje to the resort takes about 2.5 hours, and the ticket costs around 17 EUR.
History paragraph
The resort paradise of Radenci was discovered many years ago – as far back as 1833. A spring with healing mineral water was discovered by medical student Karel Henn. The discovery was immediately subjected to an extensive analysis to identify medicinal properties, and after only 30 years (which, believe me, very quickly at that time), they began to bottle it under the name “Radenska Three Hearts”. It is no wonder that the entire imperial court in Vienna, and later the court of the Pope in the Vatican, “got hooked” on the elixir of longevity and well-being.
The very first spa season in Radenci started in 1882.
