About Terme Dolenjske Toplice (Vitarium Spa pools)
The Auersperg family built the first bath house over the springs in the 17th century, at first as their private baths, and Prince Henrik Auersperg built today's Hotel Vital in 1767 and 1768. The Ljubljana doctor Anton Kastelec analysed the water in 1777 and published his results in Vienna. Item 19 of the 1776 bath house rules fined anyone who called the healing baths "water" one gulden. Folk legend credits a dog with finding the springs' powers: run over by a carriage, it healed its paw in a warm puddle. During and after the First World War, wounded soldiers were rehabilitated here.
