History
Mineral water was discovered at Radenci in 1833 by Karel Henn, a student of medicine. After a thorough analysis of the water, he returned to Radenci as a renowned doctor in 1869 where he bottled the first 'Radenska Three Hearts' mineral water which was later supplied to the Emperor’s court in Vienna and to the Pope's palace in Rome.
In 1882 the first guests were welcomed to the Radenci Health Resort. In July 1996 the new 'Thermal Paradise' section was opened (10 outdoor and indoor pools), linked with the physiotherapy ward and all the hotels by an enclosed walkway.
