About Banja Ždrelo

Everything about Terme Ždrelo – history, thermal water, facilities, ticket prices and useful visitor information.

Miners searched for coal – they found thermal water

In 1986, during geological surveys for coal in the village of Ždrelo near Petrovac na Mlavi, a borehole struck a powerful thermal spring at a depth of 180 metres. Water burst to the surface under pressure at a temperature of over 80°C.

The discovery was used to build a thermal resort now operating under the name Terme Ždrelo. The spa has become a unique example in Serbia – a thermal aqua park open all year round, as the water temperature does not vary regardless of the season.

  • Spring discovered in 1986 during coal drilling
  • Source depth: 180 metres
  • Temperature at source: over 80°C
  • Temperature in pools: 36–40°C
