Jošanička Banja

"SANUS PER AQUAM" – "HEALTH THROUGH WATER"

New bath

The new bath was built in 1935 at the time when Jošanička Banja was formed as a modern spa resort. During 2016, a project of reconstruction and reorganization of the “New Bath” was realized thanks to the support and funds of the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications and the Municipality of Raška, in cooperation with the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments from Kraljevo, under whose protection the building is located as a cultural monument. The bath has a small swimming pool, 8 small hydro-massage tubs and one large Jacuzzi bath. In the New Bath, a physical medicine clinic has been opened, which has medical appliances for all types of electrotherapy, laser therapy, ultrasound therapy and low frequency magnetic therapy, a device for presotherapy-lymph drainage of the extremities and the whole body.

Old bath

An old Turkish bath or “hamam” is the oldest cultural and historical monument in Jošanička Banja of particular value as an example of an oriental architectural tradition whose original use has been preserved to this day. It was built during the 18th century. It is located on the left bank of the Jošanica River and 20 m downstream of the “Main Spring”. In 2018, the project of reconstruction of the Old Bath was initiated with the funds of the Ministry of Culture, in cooperation with the Local Community Jošanička Banja and the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments from Kraljevo.

Natural healing factors

Jošanička Banja has 5 mineral water springs, which are among the hottest in our country. The main spring gives 7 liters of water per second and the temperature is 77ºC. Other springs are a total capacity of 30 liters per second.

Based on laboratory physico-chemical analyzes and analysis of radioactivity, thermo-mineral water from the Main spring in Jošanička Banja belongs to the category: Sodium-hydrocarbonate-sulfate and hydrogen-sulfide-alkaline hyperterms. The measured large quantity of dissolved hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is balneologically very important and this water gives characteristics of sulphide (sulfur) water. The water temperature of 77ºC is classified as hyperthermal water, which allows its use for bathing, sprinkling, rinsing and inhalation, depending on the indications and method of application.
