History of the Hotel

Although a new story begins this year, the beginnings of Terme Lendava date back to the middle of the last century, when the original story began quite by accident. In the neighboring village of Petišovci, workers from the Nafta Lendava company were drilling a new well when hot water gushed out instead of oil.

The locals soon found out that swimming in this water alleviates various problems. The results of the physico-chemical analysis then showed that the water belongs to the fossil oil waters.
