Wellness
Relax after the daily stress
Soothing relaxation in Kamnik and its surroundings
Kamnik provides a top-notch wellness offer. Relaxing in the Snovik pools or in the pleasant ambience of the Eco Resort beneath Velika planina are just two of the options. When adding the energy springs in the middle of the Tunjice Hills, we get a comprehensive whole where everyone can find something for themselves.
Even though it might seem that the term has only been used in recent years, it was already used in 1950. There has, however, been a development of wellness tourism in the recent times, including fitness and sport, beauty treatments, healthy diets, relaxation after daily stress, meditation, yoga, and education about a healthy lifestyle. And you can find all this in Kamnik its immediate surroundings.
It is less known that Kamnik used to have a very well-renowned swimming pool complex by the name of Kurhaus in the period between the 19th and the 20th century. The public swimming pool complex stood at the confluence of Nevljica and Kamniška Bistrica rivers and was established by Alojz Prašnikar (1821–1899). It attracted numerous visitors, not only from Ljubljana, but also from Trieste, Vienna, and Prague. At the end of the century, it was able to complete even with Bled, and on 16 June 1883, it was even visited by Emperor Franz Joseph who praised the resort very highly. The swimming pool resort was commended also by Sebastian Kneipp himself, the inventor of the Kneipp therapy. Once the visit of his Wörishofen Spa started growing rapidly, he recommended treatment in Kamnik as well.
