Health – seeking visitors have been attracted by the thermal springs of the region surrounding Terme Olimia for more than four centuries, while today Terme Olimia represents a favourite destination for those who want more than simple beneficial effects of the thermal water. Oral tradition says that the Barons from Miljana in Harine Zlake had this as their bathing area as early as four centuries ago. In 1935, however, the natural hot springs attracted the attention of the local priest Frederik Strnad, who, together with experts, proved the therapeutic effects of these natural thermal springs.

Terme Olimia took its name from the medieval monastery in Olimje, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the spa.
