Discover the pools and baths with black thermal mineral water

Black thermal mineral water from Moravci is the most precious asset of Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice where, for more than 60 years, it has been used for the treatment of conditions affecting the locomotor system, and of rheumatic diseases. Our guests can choose between pools with filtered thermal mineral water and baths with unfiltered thermal mineral water. The difference arises in the way the water is prepared, which is why the water in the baths is darker. That’s also why the baths are called black water baths.

Learn about its history

The Moravci thermal mineral water from Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice, which was declared a natural healing remedy back in 1964, originates from springs that are 967 to 1,467 metres deep in the Mura-Zala Basin. The thermal mineral water spring was discovered by accident over 60 years ago, when the Nafta Lendava company was looking for oil. But instead of oil, the well they dug struck healing mineral water. Due to the high concentration of beneficial active ingredients, it is also rightly called black gold.
