Vrnjacka banja
The Vrnjacka Spa is the largest contemporary health spa resort in Serbia and is an attractive centre for both holidays and recreation set at the foot of Mt.Goc (1,147 metres above sea level). Its stunning location provides a unique microclimate, which has led to the development of lush landscaped grounds providing an oasis of tranquillity and beauty for guests to enjoy and relax.
Steeped in history, the beneficial effects of the Vrnjacka Banja spa springs have been known since the beginning of Christianity. Today, some of its past still remains including a Roman Well dating back to the second century.
In modern Serbia, Baron Herder upgraded the Vrnjacka Banja spa in 1835 following orders from Prince Milos who wanted the spa to be on a par with the renowned Karlovy Vary spa in the Czech Republic and in 1860, the first pool and apartment was opened.
Vrnjacka Banja Spa is home to six rich hot and cold-water mineral springs, which are rich in natural minerals used for rejuvenating both the body and soul. It is also home to the world's only hot spring measuring exactly that of the human body (36.5 degrees Celsius). Accommodating up to 8,000 guests at any one time in a range of hotels, villas and apartments, Vrnjacka Spa is one of the largest resort spas to be found in Europe. Despite its size, the spa resort offers guests a high degree of peace and seclusion.
Surrounding Vrnjacka Banja are UNESCO protected medieval buildings, which serve as a reminder to early European civili
sation. Other nearby landmarks include the first court of the Serbian Archbishop, the Zica Monastery and the beautifully frescoed Sopocani Monastery which both date back to the thirteenth century and the twelfth century Studenica Monastery all of which are nestled in the colourful Ibar River Valley. Lying Eastwards the area is also home to the fourteenth century Ljubostinja Monastery which housed the tombs of Princess Milica and of the first Serbian poetess, Jelena, while going southwards one reaches the Gradac Monastery which was an endowment of Queen Helen of Anjou, wife of King Uros 1, dating back to the thirteenth century.
Entertainment is plentiful at Vynjacka Banja Spa with a host of things to do catering for everyone. A key feature are the gardens which in the summer play host to the 'Culture Fortress', a summer stage, cinema, bandstand, art galleries and many sporting activities. During the summer guests are entertained by numerous concerts, theatre performances, poetry evenings and exhibitions.
