The Banjica cycling route combines activity, health, and relaxation into one unique experience. This short yet rich route takes you from the center of Knjaževac to two gems of eastern Serbia—Rgoška Banjica and Banjica Pools, known for their thermal springs whose healing properties have been used for centuries.
Riding through gently rolling terrain, surrounded by greenery and fresh air, offers an ideal combination of cardio exercise and connection with nature. The destination is a set of thermal springs with a temperature of around 28°C, rich in magnesium, selenium, manganese, fluorine, and radon—elements that make this water perfect for recovery and relaxation after a cycling ride.
The route is designed as a “Bike & Relax” concept: cycle to a natural source of wellness, refresh yourself in the thermal pools, enjoy the natural surroundings, and then return to the city re-energized. This is not just a cycling route—it’s a mini spa experience on two wheels!
