Terme Tuhelj Zagorje Wellness

Terme Tuhelj in the Zagorje Hills between Zagreb and the Slovenian border draws sulfate-calcium thermal waters in the culturally rich 'Croatian Zagorje' — a landscape of fairy-tale hilltop castles (Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor), wine cellars producing the indigenous Škrlet grape variety, and the Krapina Neanderthal site, where the world's largest collection of Neanderthal bones was discovered in 1899 by Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger. The modern Terme Tuhelj wellness resort combines the therapeutic sulfate-calcium spring waters with a comprehensive spa infrastructure catering to the Zagreb metropolitan area — Croatia's capital is just 40 km away — making this the most accessible major thermal resort for the country's largest urban population. The Zagorje's Marija Bistrica pilgrimage basilica — the most visited pilgrimage site in Croatia — and the baroque Varaždin city, known as the 'Little Vienna of Croatia' for its stunning preserved baroque townscape, complete a regional cultural circuit of exceptional Croatian heritage.
