The
foundation stone of this exemplary health center in Ragaška
Slatina was laid in the Middle Ages; this is documented by the
Latin dedication of the landlord on the side of the fountain
intended for patients. The development of the health resort
is linked with aristocratic names and crowned heads, and from
the 17th century on, with science. At that time,
a monograph was published with an analysis of Ragaška’s
mineral water written by a Maribor doctor of physics, Johann
B. Grűndel. History is a wise teacher. Today, the Ragaška
Health Resort is a synonym for top quality, and here even the
most demanding guests are satisfied. At the same time, Ragaška
Slatina encourages the development of the study of mineral waters
and still plays a leading role in this field in Slovenia.
The
Pavilion, rising like a crown above the well of unique, unusually
rich in magnesium “Donat Mg” mineral water, is the energy center
of the health resort. Classicism goes hand in hand with Art
Nouveau and the latter with modernity; old ways of healing through
drinking the mineral water are joined by a modern approach,
as holistic as possible, to the strengthening and renewal of
health, primarily in the field of digestive and metabolic diseases.
