About Sokobanja
Sokobanja is one of the best known spas in Yugoslavia. It lies at the altitude of about 400 m.a.s.l, by the River Moravica at the foot of Mt. Ozren, in the south-east of Serbia, about 230 km from Belgrade. It is characterised by a temperate continental climate, clean air, light precepitataion, absence of strong winds and long spells of sunshine. Although it was known in the Roman times, the first spa buildings were opened in 1895. The curative waters in Sokobanja are yielded by several springs; their temperature varies from 20 to 45 degrees C and they differ very much in terms of chemical composition. The waters are markedly radioactive and they contain calcium, potassium, manganese, hydrocarbonate and sulphate anions and free gasses. The Sokobanja spa complex also includes the Child Medical Rehabilitation Institute and the Centre for the Treatment of Non-specific Pulmonary Diseases, as well as outpatients clinics in major hotels.
