Plan your visit and ensure a complete experience.
Crystal Valley is the first location of its kind in Slovenia and Europe, situated in Šmarješke Toplice. Nestled in the embrace of the forest, the valley features a walking path lined with crystals.
The vision of Crystal Valley is to become a center of well-being, harmony, connection with nature and crystals, and community building—where visitors experience a blend of personal growth, knowledge expansion, and a deeper connection with nature and crystals. Our aim is to inspire holistic well-being and sustainable living while maintaining respect for nature, crystals, and the world around us.

What does the Crystal Valley offer?
The main advantage of Crystal Valley is the space itself, which is energetically very rich. Energy points are enhanced with crystals, while some are simply marked. We encourage you to spend more time here, as this is the best way to truly feel and experience the benefits of the space. The walking path, approximately one kilometer long, is flat and connected by bridges over a spring and the Toplice stream, leading you to all crystals and energy points. At the “Spring of Love,” you can soak your feet in water enriched with rose quartz. You can walk along Merlin’s Path, enter the crystal cave, recharge and balance your body in the energy circle of the five elements, and children can search for and collect crystals in the sandbox. At the entrance, where tickets are purchased, there is also a crystal shop. This is only a brief overview—check out a more detailed presentation of our full offer
