THE BADL ROUTE – 156

Krapinske Toplice flourished in 1859, when the famous merchant Jakob Badl bought the existing baths and built new ones (Jacob’s, Mary’s and People’s Baths). In the vicinity of the baths, there were a hotel, a health resort, and a restaurant (Bellevue) also built, as well as parks and the alley formed and planted. Today, Krapinske Toplice is a thermal health resort that offers relaxation and rest in thermal water, saunas and massage in the Aquae Vivae Water Park and the Villa Spa. Adventure lovers can go for a swim in the water park, fly on a flight simulator in the Heli Centre or ride horses in the ‘Horses for Champion’ Equestrian Club, or go hiking and cycling along trails and routes that have been laid out throughout the municipality of Krapinske Toplice. The Badl Route is a cycling route that will take you on a tour through the beautiful hilly area of Krapinske Toplice. The route starts on the public parking lot in front of the Aquae Vivae Water Park, near the Chestnut Alley.
