Basic Info

The location of Sokobanja is at 43º and 63 ‘n. g. w. and 21º and 87 ’e. g. l., in the central part of southeastern Serbia. Its average elevation is 400 m. Sokobanja is nested in the valley of the same name, and it is surrounded by a range of fairly high mountains: mountain Ozren (1174 m) in the south, mountain Rtanj (1560 m) in the north, mountain Devica (1116 m) in the southeast, mountain Slemen (1099 m) and mountain Krstatac (1069 m) in the east and finally, mountain Bukovik (894 m) and mountain Rozanj (897 m) in the west.

 

The Moravica River flows through Sokobanja. It forms the Bovan gorge in the west of the valley. Sokobanja is located 30 km from the E-75 motorway and from the main train line.

 

Sokobanja is 230 km far from Belgrade and the airport ‘Nikola Tesla’ as well, and 60 km from Nis and the airport ‘Car Konstantin’. The bridge from Sokobanja to the Timok region leads by the regional roads, via the towns of Boljevac and Knjazevac. The municipality of Sokobanja comprises an area of ​​525 km2 and has about 17,000 inhabitants. About 8,500 people live in the town of Sokobanja.

 

Sokobanja is notable to many for its thermal springs, clean air, outstanding cuisine and sounds of the accordion, along with its striking landscapes, the longest tourist tradition in Serbia and amicable inhabitants. What singularizes Sokobanja compared to other tourist places is its lavish and exceptional nature – diverse mountains, dense forests, rivers, lakes, caves, unpolluted air rich in oxygen and negative ions. It is fair to say that Sokobanja accurately carries the title of the ‘Green Heart of Serbia’.

 

Sokobanja is the perfect place for adventurers and explorers alike, who want to uncover the secrets of hidden landscapes in intact nature. Some of the things that visitors should not miss are: the obscure landscapes of mountain Rtanj, the pit with icy ornaments, the hidden trails of both caves (of mountain Sesalac and mountain Ozren), the God’s Gate and the flawless areas of mountain Devica.

 

Sokobanja provides excellent conditions for active holiday and taking part in diverse activities, which positively affect the improvement of both physical and mental condition, and a general condition of the body. These can be: extreme sports, walks in stunning nature, stopping over at one of the multiple designated picnic areas, swimming in spas, enjoying the water park, bathing in the Moravica River and lake Bovan, taking part in sporting and exercise-related events and other activities, which all depend on the desires and preferences of visitors.
