The water in Lukovska Banja is 68 degrees at the spring, and 100 litres of healing water rises every second.
The journey to Lukovska Banja along a winding road with forest on all sides already indicates that you will be arriving in an oasis of peace, warm water and seclusion on the southeastern slopes of Kopaonik.
The highest spa in Serbia, at 681 metres above sea level, has three modern hotels with pools and wellness centres using chilled medicinal water at a temperature of 68 degrees at the spring. It treats disc herniation and other spine and bone diseases, and is also a delight for healthy people who come there to swim, have a massage and a rest from the city crowd.
The climate here is pleasant in both summer and winter and you can walk for hours along the paths of health and reach the small church on the hill, where there is also a viewpoint for exceptional photos. Do not forget to collect the key to the church from the hotel reception. A winter attraction is swimming in the outdoor pool while it’s snowing.
The story goes that King Milutin, the Serbian medieval ruler, who also had a summer house nearby, bathed in Lukovska banja and his bath is open for tourists.
Inside the bathroom, you will find out what the royal baths looked like according to the story and you can also try them: medicinal herbs are added to the water, and the temperature is around 40 degrees.
In a spa with more tourists than residents where tranquillity reigns, so many sunny days and clean air will be enough for a vacation, and wild strawberries sold at every step will bring you small joys.
