Circular Walks and Views

Two circular walks offer different highlights in Tuheljske Toplice. The marked Oko Tuheljskih Toplica trail takes approximately three hours. It starts at the old pools, passes Mihanović Castle and the hamlet of Kuhari, and returns through the surrounding hills. The approximate duration provides a guide for planning your time; the stops link pools, castle, hamlet and hilly landscapes into a clear route.

Another circular walk passes Mihanović Castle, Črešnjevec, vineyards and traditional wine huts before returning to Tuheljske Toplice. While the approximate walking time is known for Oko Tuheljskih Toplica, this route is defined by the sequence of its stops. This can help you decide whether you prefer a walk with a predictable duration or a route featuring vineyards and wine huts.

A separate viewpoint is the Baroque Church of the Holy Three Kings. It stands on a hill southeast of Tuheljske Toplice, on the Mokrice–Kumrovec road, about two kilometres before the settlement. From there, you can see Tuheljske Toplice and the surrounding hills. The church thus offers a different perspective on the landscape from the two circular walks.

There is also a way to learn about the area in Tuheljske Toplice itself: information boards for the “Zagorske priče” project feature QR codes that provide access to multimedia content.
