Spring Ladjevac - the most important information

Popularly known as the "hot spring", Ladjevac is located within the Raca Canyon Nature Reserve. As the Raca Monastery is nearby and they are connected by a walking path, a visit to both locations is an ideal trip when you are in this part of Serbia. The spring is also considered to have healing effects.

The origin of the spring Ladjevac
It is located at the exit from the Raca canyon, on its right side, at 498 meters above sea level. This uncaptured spring belongs to the type of alkaline-thermal springs and is of karst origin. The water temperature is between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius, while the yield is 50 liters per second. The limestone cracks that are located at this place are its source and it flows over 18 meters of bigrene deposits that it formed. Its alleged healing properties help with eye and skin diseases.
