When the heat rises, the body looks for a place where it can finally breathe again. In the Tuhinj Valley, that feeling comes naturally. Mornings are cooler, the air is softer, and nature creates a gentle breeze you simply cannot find in the city. A heatwave can be exhausting, but there are places where summer still feels kind. One of them is Snovik.
The forests surrounding Snovik create a microclimate that is noticeably more pleasant on hot days. Trees cool the air through evaporation, shade the paths and create a natural breeze. This is why a walk through the forest is one of the most natural ways to cool down and calm the mind at the same time.
Sebastian Kneipp believed that the forest is a place where body and mind naturally rebalance. When we step among the trees, our rhythm slows down. Thoughts become clearer, tension fades. If we take off our shoes, the connection with the earth deepens even more. Barefoot walking awakens a sense of stability and relaxation.
A forest bath, which we include in our barefoot experiences, is simple: put your phone away, walk slowly, find a quiet spot, sit down, listen to the rustling leaves and birdsong.
Did you know? Trees release phytoncides — natural substances proven to reduce stress and improve well‑being. The forest is more than shade. It is a place that heals.
When the air heats up, the body struggles to release excess warmth. Cold water does this quickly and effectively. Because water conducts heat better than air, it draws warmth from the skin the moment it touches it. As it evaporates, it cools us even further, which is why after a cold Kneipp pour or a cool shower we feel lighter, less tired and less overheated.
During a heatwave, cold water is a simple, natural solution: a cold pour over the legs, washing the face, a cool compress on the neck or wrists, or a lukewarm shower after activity. The body responds immediately.
Hydration is also essential. In hot weather, the body loses water and minerals, so drinking water and refreshing beverages is crucial. Even mild dehydration increases fatigue and makes cooling more difficult.
In Snovik, the heat simply loses its power. The valley is naturally cooler, mornings are fresh, forests create shade and a gentle breeze, and the thermal water provides the refreshing relief we need most during a heatwave. This makes Snovik an excellent choice for a short daily escape or an overnight stay in nature, where both body and mind truly unwind.
If you want to spend the day actively, start with a walk through the forest, then enjoy the thermal water, Kneipp treatments or our animation program. If you wish to stay longer, more than 500 beds await you across three completely different yet beautifully connected experiences.
NaturHotel Snovik**** Superior is the heart of the valley. Modern, natural, perfectly blended with its surroundings — created for guests who seek comfort and freshness at the same time.
Just a few steps away, the apartment village stands at the edge of the forest, where mornings begin in peaceful silence broken only by birds.
For those who want complete immersion in nature, the Eco Camp Snovik offers even cooler morning air and evenings filled with the scent of the forest.
All three options share the same essence: nature that truly does its work. In Snovik, a heatwave turns into a summer that is kind to the body, calming for the mind and perfect for escaping hot city streets.
The pool complex is open daily from 9:00 to 20:00, and on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays also for night swimming. Here, summer breathes differently.
During a heatwave, we don’t look for air conditioning — we look for nature. Forests, fresh air, cold water and thermal pools create a space where summer feels gentle and the body finally finds its rhythm.
Spend the heatwave in the embrace of the forest and refreshing thermal water.
