Abstract		This paper was written to mark the 175th anniversary of birth of Arnold Rikli, famous Swiss healer, who is credited with pioneering modern health tourism in Slovenia. In 1855, Rikli settled in the alpine region of Lake Bled to set up a health resort. His treatment methods which adhered to principles of natural healing exploited the favourable effects of light, air and water on the human body. The Bled health resort attracted rich people with various ailments who came there to be treated in special, almost ,"revolutionary" ways. Rikli's treatment methods met with strong opposition of both local community and mainstream medicine, but some of his principles are still valid today.
Summary		Članek je bil napisan ob 175-letnici rojstva slavnega švicarskega zdravilca Arnolda Riklija, ki velja za pionirja modernega turizma v Sloveniji. Leta 1854 se je naselil ob Blejskem jezeru in zgradil zdravilišče, kjer je zdravil z na- ravnimi metodami zdravljenja; te so temeljile na učinkovanju svetlobe, zraka in vode na človeško telo. V njegovo zdravilišče so prihajali bogati bolniki in si zdravili številne bolezni v posebnih, takrat skoraj "revolucionarnih", okoliščinah. Čeprav so prebivalci Bleda in uradno zdravstvo nasprotovali Riklijevemu zdravljenju in delovanju, veljajo nekatere njegove ugotovitve še danes.
