Medija Thermal Spa

The spa was established in 1877 by the local businessman Alois Praschniker [sl],[1][2] although thermal baths at the location were already mentioned by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor in his The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola in the 17th century.

Praschniker installed a monument at the spa commemorating Valavsor in 1877.

Since 2009, both the hotel and the outdoor swimming pool have been closed and have been subject to rapid deterioration,[5][6][7] caused by a lack of maintenance and vandalism, as well as weather-caused damage, mainly flooding in 2010.

In 2013, a civil initiative started a clean-up and restoration of the outdoor pool with the purpose of opening it for the local community.

A series of clean-ups was organized mainly on Saturdays as well as a photographic exhibition showing the history of the spa.
