Roman Spring
Rimski Vrelec is a boutique hotel in Carinthia, created as a place of regeneration where people, water, and silence come together again. Beneath Mount Uršlja, we have created an intimate retreat for anyone seeking natural well-being, a digital detox, and a chance to look inward, which only a small, carefully designed hotel can offer.
We are a team that believes in the warmth of genuine relationships, a slower pace of life, and respect for nature and space. Our approach is based on thoughtfulness, aesthetics, and sustainability. We want to offer our guests an experience where they can truly get closer to nature—and to themselves.
We are CLOSE TO NATURE and close to people.




Iron-rich, miraculous "acidic water"
Hotuljska slatina is a unique Carinthian mineral water, known as sour water or “miraculous iron water.” It springs from just below Mount Uršlja and is valued for its naturally high iron content and pronounced regenerative powers, which have been known to people for centuries.
Once known as the Carinthian Roman Spring, it was considered to be water that strengthens the body, restores energy, and supports balance. Today, the central element of the Roman Spring experience is a natural spring that invites you to calm down, regenerate, and feel inner balance.
Hotuljska slatina is not just water. It is a source of well-being and the purest expression of the regenerative power of the Roman spring.

Revitalization with a vision
The Roman Spring was created with the desire to breathe new life into an area that had been frozen in time. The new investment has opened up space for nature and people, gently reviving the warmth that this charming place once had.
With careful renovation of paths, green areas, and quiet corners, we have created a pleasant environment where you can stop, take a breath, and experience the natural beauty of Koroška. The green surroundings of the hotel and the forest near Uršlja gora offer space for walking, relaxation, or quiet observation of nature.
The renovated area reconnects the town, the community, and visitors.
Today, the Roman spring is not just a place where you can seek peace and quiet—it is an invitation to a slow, respectful, and unique experience of nature.
