Thermal water in the Lotus pools – exclusive in Rogaška Slatina
The most prominent natural asset of Rogaška Slatina is natural mineral-rich water that has been appreciated for centuries. This gift of nature has been joined by a new health and recreation option – the Artesian spring of the Rogaška thermal mineral water. The source is 1700 metres deep, while the water springing out is hyperthermal with 5800mg/l of dissolved mineral elements and the temperature of 59°C at the spring. The thermal water in the swimming pool has a temperature between 31°C and 36°C (isotherm).
