“The Green Gates of Kopaonik”

Kopaonik is a mountain of the volcanic origin and a lot of medicinal waters spring from it. Jošanička Spa was built at one such hot mineral spring. The beneficial water, the abundance of vegetation, the pleasant height above sea level and climate are the initial basis for its accelerated development. “We’ve renewed the old bath built in 1935, so the Spa is completely placed on the map the health tourism of our country again. In order to make our summer offer more complete, we’ve arranged two pedestrian-biking paths that pass through the magnificently beautiful landscape of the ‘spa’s pine-tree-forested area’. They’ll be marked on the official map of the pedestrian and biking routes of the Natioanl Tourism Organization of Serbia,” says Radenko Cvetić, the director of the Tourism Organization of Raška, which manages the development of Jošanička Spa.
