Spa and apitourism
Slovenia is known for its rich beekeeping tradition and honey experiences. The Carniolan honey bee, a native bee, plays a key role in the history of Slovenian beekeeping, of which Anton Janša, the pioneer of modern beekeeping, was an important part. Honey tourism in Slovenia includes apitherapy, honey wellness treatments, culinary experiences with honey and visits to beekeeping museums. Slovenian honeys such as forest honey from Kočevje and Karst honey carry the European Protected Geographical Indication.
Slovenian spas and natural health resorts offer a wide range of programmes for relaxation, pampering and health promotion. They connect with nature, exploiting thermal and mineral waters and various natural resources, such as peat and salt-pan mud. Slovenian spas have a long tradition, with some of them existing for more than 600 years. Suitable for families, couples and older people, they offer opportunities for active holidays in nature all year round.
