Spring is in the air! All around, there’s sounds of murmuring, splashing, dripping and churning, foaming and roaring, trickling and spraying; energy. Water. The source of life<\/strong>, the elixir of Mother Nature.\u00a0Slovenia\u00a0<\/strong>is tremendously rich in water sources, ranking among the top countries in Europe. Here, you practically can’t go a step without spotting a stream, river, lake, a glimpse of the sea or even a thermal spring. Man’s respect for water was in these parts a prehistoric trait. Later, during the Renaissance, our famed nobleman and polymath Johann Weikhard von Valvasor <\/strong>likewise wrote of the priceless abundance of this subalpine country’s crystal springs. Today, drinking water is a basic public good in Slovenia, as well as the\u00a0constitutional right of all its citizens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If any land wishes to boast<\/p>\n

of having much milk and honey,<\/p>\n

that is, that God blessed it<\/p>\n

with fruit and abundance in all His glory,<\/p>\n

then it must first boast to have<\/p>\n

an abundance of rivers, streams and clear springs.<\/p>\n

Johann Weikhard von Valvasor<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fast forward<\/em>… we all know the digital age has completely transformed not just the MICE industry, but the human experience at large. Old paradigms are history now as ever-new horizons emerge with incredible speed; exciting, interconnected and constantly buzzing, updating live<\/em>in real time<\/em>. Sometimes, though, the electronic glare is just a little too hypnotizing, the noise too overwhelming. We need to escape, revisit the first principles. Back to nature! The genuine charm of personal presence and some good oldface-to-face conversation.<\/p>\n

Green<\/strong>, how wonderful you are! Thriving nature is the pillar of springtime incentives, something Slovenia has to offer in spades. Our green foundation is truly par excellence<\/em>! What better place to be active\u00a0<\/strong>and get some exercise\u00a0<\/strong>than the natural environment, offering a range of activities from sports and adrenaline ventures to calming, mindful journeys. One of these is the barefoot experience of pine needles, a forest selfness <\/em>program that takes you to a place of peace and relaxation. Naturally, you can opt to dive into a thermal water adventure instead \u2013 a playground for some friendly competition.<\/p>\n

Which ingredient is key? The secret to wellbeing lies in the 87 natural thermal springs found in this little piece of the world.\u00a0Pure benevolence!\u00a0<\/strong>Healthy waters, pleasant climate and other traits are the core of the offer of our fifteen <\/strong>certified natural health spas<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>strewn across Slovenia from the Adriatic Sea to the Pannonian Basin. Water is life, sustenance, energy, it nourishes the economy and, of course, the planet. Water is beauty and rebirth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curious fact:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Did you know our country has its very own\u00a0fizzy healing water?<\/strong>Legend has it the mineral source of the cherished Roga\u0161ka Slatina was unearthed as the Pegasus, winged stallion of Greek mythology,<\/strong>struck its hooves against the nearby hills, shifting the mantle of the Earth, gushing forth magnificent health-giving treasure! The story marks the beginnings of the successful Donat Mg\u00a0<\/strong>brand \u2013 the world’s natural mineral water richest in magnesium.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So! Our formula for a sparkly springtime incentive in the Slovenian spas is …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/strong>GREEN<\/strong> + ACTIVE + HEALTHY = #ifeelsLOVEnia<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
