Snovik – Thermal Spa, Kneipp Heritage and Nature Trails

Terme Snovik is located in the unspoiled nature of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Tuhinj Valley and is Slovenia’s highest-altitude thermal spa. The Terme Snovik resort has indoor and outdoor thermal pools. For planning purposes, you can consider the natural surroundings and the thermal spa as two separate focal points.

Wellness

A natural thermal spring is located about one kilometre from Terme Snovik. In 2006, the Ministry of Health declared the thermal water in Snovik a natural remedy. Terme Snovik is Slovenia’s first Kneipp centre. The Kneipp centre at Terme Snovik preserves and continues the heritage of the former Kneipp spa in Kamnik.

The Kneipp barefoot experience at Terme Snovik follows a 3.2-kilometre barefoot trail. For planning your day, the stated trail length provides a separate point of comparison alongside the other options around Snovik.

Hiking

The hiking trail to Sv. Miklavž is consistently very well marked with signposts. At the end of the hike to Sv. Miklavž, hikers reach the Church of St. Nicholas and a panoramic view. The Jakobova pot trail begins slightly beyond the central Terme Snovik complex in the direction of the village of Snovik. The section of Jakobova pot near Snovik runs through a valley bordered by meadows and forests, alongside a stream. A trail from the starting point at Terme Snovik leads to Hruševka and is suitable for Nordic walking.

For planning purposes, these trail options can be distinguished by destination, landscape, markings and type of activity. Hiking and Nordic walking represent different focal points and do not need to be combined into a single route.

Cycling

Ten cycling routes of varying lengths and difficulty levels start from Snovik Spa; bicycles, helmets and other cycling equipment can be rented at Snovik Spa. The different route characteristics help position cycling as a separate planning topic alongside hiking and Nordic walking.

The Snoviček Dwarf Trail is short and easy and teaches children about nature in a playful way. The named trails and the Dwarf Trail stand alongside one another as different forms of activity and learning.

The activities described here use different criteria. For trails and paths, markings, landscape, destination and type of activity are the main considerations; for cycling routes, length and difficulty level are also relevant. The thermal spa and Kneipp experience, in turn, form separate focal points involving pools, the spring and the barefoot trail. The location references also distinguish the options: Snovik, Hruševka and Sv. Miklavž name different destinations or starting points, while the valley, meadows, forests and stream define the landscape setting of the trails mentioned. This creates not one uniform picture of activities for planning your day, but a selection of clearly defined options.

A holiday apartment in Snovik can be categorised by travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions; alongside this, the thermal spa, Kneipp experience, cycling routes and hiking trails represent different thematic focal points.
