This RSI September 2026 Quiz on "Living Water" series takes us on a journey through Slovakia’s rich spa culture. It brings you to the crisp mountain air and mineral-rich history straight to Slovakia.
The Journey: Discovering Brusno Spa
In the latest RSI September 2026 Quiz (Round 8), German language editor Kerstin Jakubik guides listeners to one of Central Slovakia’s hidden gems. It is the picturesque Brusno Spa. Nestled at the foot of the Slovak Ore Mountains near Banská Bystrica, Brusno has been a sanctuary for health and renewal since the 19th century.
Long before modern wellness resorts existed, local lumberjacks, miners, and charcoal burners relied on these natural mineral waters to recharge after long days in the forest. Today, the region's unique microclimate and renowned mineral springs continue to offer therapeutic healing for visitors from around the world.
