The spa was established in 1877 by the local businessman Alois Praschniker , [1] [2] although thermal baths at the location were already mentioned by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in his The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola in the 17th century. Praschniker installed a monument at the spa commemorating Valavsor in 1877. [3] [4]
In the second half of the 20th century, the complex was gradually expanded: by 2009 the spa consisted of a hotel, an indoor swimming pool, and an outdoor swimming pool. Since 2009, both the hotel and the outdoor swimming pool have been closed and have been subject to rapid deterioration, [5] [6] [7] caused by a lack of maintenance and vandalism, as well as weather-caused damage, mainly flooding in 2010. In 2013, a civil initiative started a clean-up and restoration of the outdoor pool with the purpose of opening it for the local community. A series of clean-ups was organized mainly on Saturdays as well as a photographic exhibition showing the history of the spa.
