2,000 years of wellbeing between the Drava, vineyards and ancient wisdom
Renew your energy where nature meets history.
Ptuj and Ormož have been places of pleasure, health and the good life for two thousand years. Even the Romans in ancient Poetovio understood the importance of balance between body, mind and spirit. Their culture of bathing, gastronomy, exercise and socialising is today receiving a modern interpretation in a unique tourism product Natural Urban Healing.
This is not a classic wellness experience. It is a journey through the energy of the landscape.
From the peaceful banks of the River Drava and the forests of the Slovenske Gorice hills to the wine-growing slopes of Haloze and the mystical heritage of Mithraism, the Styria destination is increasingly becoming a place of regeneration, prevention and reconnecting with oneself.
Putting people at the heart of the experience
Natural Urban Healing is based on an individual approach and brings together the best of the local wellbeing offering:
Water
For millennia, the Drava has been shaping life on the Drava and Ptuj plains. Morning exercises by the river, breathing techniques, conscious movement, meditation and contact with water help to restore inner balance.
Earth
Walking barefoot through the grass, the streams of the Slovenske Gorice, the vineyards of Haloze and being in touch with the earth awaken a sense of groundedness and stability.
Sight
Modern approaches, such as Airnergy therapy, enable effective support for bodily regeneration, better oxygen utilisation and improved vitality.
Fire
Fire symbolises life energy, transformation and inner strength. It is represented by the sun of the Pannonian landscape, local gastronomy and the energy that a person rediscovers within themselves.
Even two thousand years ago, the inhabitants of Roman Poetovio knew the art of living well.
Natural Urban Healing takes the visitor into the world of ancient heritage:
Special experiences include the interpretation of Mithraic shrines in Ptuj and Spodnja Hajdina, a visit to Roman remains and learning about the philosophy of life based on the harmony between man and nature.
Natural Urban Healing connects tradition and innovation.
Using modern approaches, guests can gain insight into their well-being and life energy:
Technology here does not replace nature, but rather helps a person understand their body and encourages them towards a healthier lifestyle.
Natural Urban Healing is aimed at individuals, couples, active travellers, entrepreneurs, sportspeople and anyone who wants to step away from their daily routine for a few days.
The Styria destination offers space for:

2,000 years of wisdom, nature and well-being.
