Nestled at the foot of Mount Jelica in Čačak lies a true health gem – Slatinska Banja. Its waters, famous for their distinct rotten egg smell, are actually rich in hydrogen sulfide, a compound essential for the functioning of every organism. Professor Dr. Branko Đurović, a neurosurgeon and clinical neurophysiologist, reveals that this water neutralizes free radicals – the main culprits behind diseases, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions.
Before World War II, Slatinska Banja attracted half of the then Yugoslavia’s population, as its water helped with rheumatic diseases, degenerative spinal changes, and skin conditions. People kept coming back, and the results were impressive. Unfortunately, over time, the state neglected the spa, and its infrastructure failed to keep up with its importance.
However, in recent years, local authorities have restored its official spa status, and today Slatinska Banja offers not only healing water but also a unique blend of nature, health, and historical heritage. It’s a perfect reminder of how powerful nature is and how often we overlook the gifts it provides. If you’ve ever wanted to try something that truly helps, maybe it’s time to head there.
And honestly, who can resist water that smells like rotten eggs but heals like it’s from the future? If you have experience with Slatinska Banja or know someone who does, drop a comment below – let’s see who’s already a fan of this miraculous source!
