Višočka Banja is a ferruginous mineral spring and bathing site in the Višoka area of Serbia, its iron-rich waters imparting a characteristic reddish-brown colour and metallic taste to the mineral pool. Serbia's Balkans landscape is dotted with numerous named mineral springs of varied character, from sulphurous to ferruginous, and Višočka Banja represents the iron-rich end of this therapeutic spectrum, historically prized for its tonic and blood-building properties. The spring offers an authentic encounter with rural Serbian mineral water culture in a natural setting shaped by the Balkan geological heritage.
Insider tip — Višočka baňa lies in the Zlatibor district of western Serbia near the town of Prijepolje, where iron-rich mineral waters emerge from ancient crystalline rocks. The chalybeate character of the water — with its distinctive reddish-orange deposits on the spring surrounds — has attracted local visitors for generations seeking treatment for anemia and fatigue. The surrounding western Serbian highlands, cut by the Lim River gorge, provide dramatic scenery typical of this underexplored corner of the Balkans.
