Josanicka Banja – vrata Kopaonika

Tamo gde se reka Samokovka uliva u Jošanicu, desnu pritoku Ibra – središna Srbija – na severozapadnoj strani Kopaonika (2017 m), u klancu oivičenom pretežno borovom šumom, leži Jošanička Banja.

Hotel u Josanickoj Banji

Lečilište – poznato i kao „zelena vrata“ Kopaonika – smešteno na 550 m nadmorske visine je i klimatsko mesto i jedna od najviših banja u Srbiji.

Do Ibarske magistrale – 10 km, do Kraljeva – oko 110 km, a do Beograda – 250 km. Naziv je dobila po obližnjem selu Jošanica, uzvodno od banjskih izvora. Banja ima pet izvora, s obiljem vrele sumporovodonične vode (36° C -78,50 C -jedna od tri najtoplije banje u Srbiji), sa izvesnim radioaktivnim elementima – radon, uran, radijum.

Za razliku od ostalih banja u Srbiji, u ovim vodama ima i tragova volframa, molibdena i vanadijuma.
Voda se koristi pijenjem i kupanjem, a mineralno blato za obloge. Voda Jošaničke Banje poznata je od davnina.

Po Feliksu Kanicu, austrijskom naučniku i putopiscu, koji je posetio ove terme još 30. juna 1860, i Vladimiru Kariću, srpskom naučniku, koji je o njima pisao 1887. u svom delu „Srbija“, njene vode koristili su još stari Rimljani – pronađeni su ostaci rimskih kupatila.

Međutim, pouzdano se zna da su tople vode Jošaničke Banje na obroncima Kopaonika, koristili Turci u XIV veku – najpre iz higijenskih potreba, a potom, i za lečenje.
Turci su izgradili staro kupatilo (amam) – još je u upotrebi, a zatim su ga u XVIII veku preuredili i proširili. (Baron Herder, koji je došao po pozivu tadašnjih srpskih vlasti da ispita rudno blago u Srbiji, prvi je utvrdio temperaturu ove vode – 78° C – i svrsgao je među najtoplije u Evropi.)

Narednih decenija Banja Jošanica je neopravdano zapostavljana, tako da je tek 1935. izgrađeno novo kupatilo i lečilište delimično uređeno. Detaljnije je Banja uređena, ipak, tek posle Drugog svetskog rata.

Bolesnicima su, danas, u jošaničkoj Banji na raspolaganju zdravstvena stanica, sa savremenom opremom, banjsko kupatilo i bazen. (U izgradnji je moderan rehabilitacioni centar.)

Priroda u okolini Banje Josanica

Smeštena u romantičnoj dolini Jošaničke reke, koja Kopaonik deli od severnijeg i nižeg Željina (1785 m), Banja Jošanica, okružena šumama, sa bistrim brzim rekama, privlačna je i u pogledu klime – dosta sunčanih dana i sveže letnje noći.

Hotel in Josanica Spa - Serbia

This health resort, also known as the „green door“ of Mt. Kopaonik – is located at the height of 550 m above the sea level, which also makes it a climatic resort and one of the Serbian spas at the highest altitude.

It is 10 km away from Ibar motorway, 110 km from Kraljevo and 250 km from Belgrade. The Spa is named after the neighbouring village of Josanica, located upstream the springs.

The Spa has got five springs, and is rich in hot sulphureous-hydrogenous water (36° C- 78.5° C) – one of the three warmest spas in Serbia), containing some radioactive chemical elements – radon, uranium, radium.
Unlike other spas in Serbia, these waters contain traces of wolfram, molybdenum and vanadium.

The water is used by drinking and bathing, and the mineral mud for compresses.
The waters of josanicka Spa ; have been known from ancient times.
According to Felix Kanitz, the Austrian scientist and traveller, who visited these thermal springs on June 30th, 1860, and Vladimir Karic the Serbian scientist, who wrote about these waters in his paper „Serbia“ in 1887, these waters had been used by ancient Romans.

The ruins of Roman baths have been discovered. However, what we know for certain is that these thermal waters were used by the Turks in the 14th century out of hygienic needs, later for healing.

The Turks built the old Hot Bath (hamam) – which is still in use – and then, in the 18th century, expanded and adapted it. (Baron Herder, who had been asked by Serbian authorities to examine the mineral resources in Serbia, was the first to determine the temperature of this water – 78° C - and found it to be among the warmest in Europe.
In the following decades the Josanica Spa was unjustly neglected. A new bath was built and the sanatorium partly refurbished as late as 1935. Only after the Second World War was the Spa finally landscaped.

Today, the patients in josanicka Spa have at their disposal a Health Dispensary, equipped in modern-day fashion, the Spa Bath and a pool. (A modern rehabilitation centre is now being built there.)
