A hundred kilometres south of Zagreb, around the middle flow of the river Glina, above the slopes of picturesque hillocks, there is an attractive and widely known thermal spa, Topusko. It can be easily reached from Karlovac, Sisak, Petrinja and Lasinja.
The history of Topusko began more than 3000 years ago when the people called Iapodes came to natural springs of thermal waters. The Romans left visible traces of a spa to warriors and Roman conquerors. In the 13th century King Andrew II built a monastery and a church and gave them to the Cistercians. The ruins of that magnificent structure - the portal of Blessed Virgin Mary can be seen today at Opatovina Park.
In 1826, Professor Michael Kunnits sent a letter to the Austrian emperor Frances I, describing the thermal spa Topusko. A year later, he published his book A Historical - Topographical Description of Topusko Mineral Spa.
In the next 100 years, Topusko became a destination frequented by aristocrats and noblemen, where lords, generals, bishops, and other wealthy guests from France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany used to come to take pleasure in fresh air and thermal water.
The health resort Topusko has founded its company, Top - Terme d.o.o. Its primary activities are healing and rehabilitation after illnesses and injuries of locomotory, nervous and muscular systems.
Top - Terme d.o.o. also provides catering and tourist-related services. The company focuses strongly on health, wellness and congress tourism.
