It is believed that the Romans used the mineral waters of Gamžigrad Baths 2000 years ago. The Romans built in this region, which collected many healing sources of mineral water - swimming pools, wells for the rehabilitation and recovery of legionnaires.
After the Romans, the fame of the healing springs of Serbia spread throughout the world; this is truly the richest region in Europe with healing springs.
All this is evidenced by numerous archaeological excavations 19th century and later. Thus, thanks to archeology, the first traces of the Roman period were discovered. Which testify to evidence of the use of healing springs on the territory of Serbia, even by the Romans.
Serbian resorts are specifically associated with the Ottoman period of history. During this period, the famous Turkish baths were built, which you will find in large numbers on the territory of the Serbian Baths.
More modern research on the Baths in Serbia began in 1834, when water samples were sent to a laboratory in Vienna for research. Chemical analysis of some of the water sources was carried out there. A significant event was the arrival in Serbia of mining specialists from Germany, Baron Sigismund August and Wolfgang Herder, who first lived in eastern Serbia and then arrived in Kraljevo and analyzed 12 samples of thermal waters. Their conclusion, set out in special works, is that the waters of Serbia are significantly superior compared to the known waters of Europe.
The first “law on resorts, mineral and thermal waters” was adopted in 1914. At the same time, the first Serbian balneotherapeutic institutes were created. In the Kingdom of Serbia, and later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the status of Resorts was regulated by law, which established the requirements of public order, spatial design of settlements, architectural requirements, regulated the construction of public buildings and villas, as well as the editing of park space.
After the Second World War, there was a rapid development of Spa therapy and therapeutic holidays in Serbia; from the 60s, Resorts received the status of natural areas. This law harmonizes the development of residential premises and also regulates accommodation in the private sector. This is what happens these years active development modern hotels and construction of medical facilities and rehabilitation centers.
The international importance of Serbia as a tourist country is growing! European Agency for Medical resorts notes increased interest in the Baths of Serbia. It is believed that Serbia has the largest number of mineral lakes in Europe. There are more than 1,000 mineral water springs here, which are represented in 40 resorts.
Mineral thermal mineral springs, recreation centers and health centers are located throughout the country, each with its own unique set of minerals and specific geographical conditions. The true wealth of Serbia is its diversity of mineral, thermal and mineral springs.
Resort areas are surrounded by natural beauty and are in the center of cultural and historical heritage. All places are suitable for tourism and can receive guests both in summer and winter. Sanatorium-resort treatment is provided by the use of modern treatment methods and the use of natural factors. Spa treatment methods are ideal for all types of disease prevention and will also help you restore your physical condition, mental balance, bring you into excellent physical shape and give you a fresh and well-being appearance. Thanks to its healing properties, skin elasticity is restored and helps to relax toned muscles. Therapy and recovery are carried out under the supervision of experienced medical personnel.
Most resorts in Serbia have a mild climate and an ecologically clean environment. The resorts are mainly located at the foot of the mountains or in the lower valleys, surrounded by forests, pastures and orchards. The resorts are protected from strong winds by the mountains. Beautiful natural landscapes are complemented by numerous parks and places for walking, modern living quarters, sports grounds, swimming pools - contribute to improving health.
Serbian resorts are equipped with the latest technology to host seminars, conferences, events and other meetings. The so-called congress tourism is becoming increasingly popular, as a combination of a beautiful and useful pastime and solving business issues
In the immediate vicinity of the Resorts there are unique medieval monasteries and many other historical attractions..
Resorts are rich sources of thermal and mineral water, we can divide them into groups: alkaline, with low mineralization, springs with salt, with sulfur, containing radioactive substances and lakes (therapeutic mud).
By geographical location can be divided into: Resorts in Northern Serbia, Resorts in Central Serbia, Resorts in Western Serbia, Resorts in Eastern Serbia, Resorts in the southern part of Serbia.
Getting to any resort is not difficult; the country has a developed bus service. The Serbian language will not cause difficulties; it is very similar to Russian.
Stay and treatment are not expensive, unlike similar resorts in Europe, however, Serbian resorts are able to compete in price and with Russian resorts: Pyatigorsk, Kislovodsk, etc. At the same time, on Serbian resorts You will receive European service and high-quality medicine and attentive attention from doctors.
Approximate costs that await you: from 1200 rub/day until 5000 RUR/day depending on the resort. And this price includes stay, food and treatment! In addition, there is the possibility of placement in the private sector with outpatient visits to doctors and medical appointments. This form of stay is much cheaper.
Serbian resorts are certainly not Vichy or La Baule, or even Karlovy Vary. But the country has relied on the serious development of medical tourism, focusing on the successful examples of neighboring countries. Undoubted advantages - we do not need a visa, a wide choice of procedures. The absolute disadvantages are that there are no great sights and it takes quite a long time to get to the resorts. The fact that the quality of service is average was expected in advance, but the price corresponds to the quality.
About country " "
Until recently, few people considered Serbia as a tourist country. This is justified by the fact that nearby or relatively close to it there are such amazing beautiful countries like Hungary, Austria, Italy, Slovenia. But the market situation has changed and the geography of tourism has changed. So, unexpectedly for myself, Serbia was discovered. There are no special beauties here, and there is no sea, which helps out Bulgaria, which is very similar to Serbia, but there are excellent thermal spas, where you can treat all known diseases, undergo rehabilitation, take a break from civilization and its destructive consequences, lose weight and look younger. The capital of the country, Belgrade, is a small city, its historical Center You can walk there, there are good hotels. Provided that the transfer to the resorts is distant, it is perfect to stay for 1 night so that the road does not bother you. What else makes me happy is here beautiful nature, if you love the eastern Mediterranean, low mountains, forested hills, mild climate and clean air. There is no need to hope that they speak Russian in Serbia. Our languages are very similar, but the population focuses on English, followed by German. If the flow Russian tourists increases, then Russian-speaking personnel will appear everywhere. There are more than 20 thermal resorts in Serbia, but so far people from Russia travel to only 5, maximum 10. At the resorts, people are treated with drinking courses of mineral waters, bathing in local thermal waters and mud, combining natural factors with procedures such as massages, gymnastics and others. All or almost all resorts in Serbia are called Banya - this is a thermal resort. Many baths are concentrated in the south of the country, among them Lukovska Banja. It is separated from Belgrade by 260 km, the nearest major city and airport is Nis (130 km) - this is one of tourist centers Serbia, from there the transfer to the resort takes 2 hours. Lukovska Banja is the highest mountain resort in Serbia, rich in thermal springs. The surrounding mountains, rising to a height of more than 1000 m, create a very pleasant microclimate in the valley and also complement the treatment ski slopes. In the near future, it will be not only therapeutic, but also a full-fledged international ski resort. There is a lot of hydrogen sulfide in local water. Treatment at the resort is indicated for those suffering from various types of rheumatism, osteoporosis, gout, and gynecological diseases. Lukovskaya Banya is excellent for recovery from injuries, fractures, and prosthetics. Numerous thermal springs saturate the air with healing moisture rich in its chemical composition, so even a simple walk along the local trails is a natural inhalation for those who suffer from allergies, ENT diseases, bronchitis and asthma. And, of course, the wealth of thermal waters is used for wellness programs. Water is the basis for the preparation of local mud, which even includes local soil, which is unusually rich in minerals and elements. Treatment procedures can be “diluted” not only with walks through picturesque life-giving surroundings or alpine skiing in winter, but also on excursions. In the surrounding area, several interesting churches have been preserved, as well as a unique natural wonder called the Devil's City, which in Serbian sounds like Diavolja Varoš. In this geological reserve there are stone pillars - the remains of rocks, which seem to be covered with stone “hats”; something similar can be seen in Turkey. The spectacle is mesmerizing, unforgettable and a little unearthly. You can stay in Lukovskaya Banya in several hotels. The Jelak Hotel 3* is distinguished by its excellent location and quality service. The hotel has an outdoor thermal pool with warm water, where you can swim even in the middle of winter. very friendly staff, including a Russian-speaking employee. For those staying for treatment, this is very important, because even good knowledge in English does not guarantee understanding of medical vocabulary. Second interesting hotel named after the surrounding Kopaonik mountains. The hotel has its own medical center, two swimming pools, one of which has thermal water, as well as a gym, tennis court, bathhouse and sauna. Here you can take equipment for skiing on the mountain slopes: skis, snowboards, sleds, mountain bikes. The hotel offers full board meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner.
