Ispod planine Koritnjak (808 m), ogranka Suve Planine (1870 m), samo 10 km jugoistočno od Niša, na međunarodnom putu za Sofiju – na 250 m nadmorske visine – smešteno je jedno od najstarijih banjskih mesta u Srbiji – Niska Banja.

Kupatilo u Niskoj Banji

Izvori Niske Banje daju vodu koja se odlikuje raznolikošću hemijskog sastava i spadaju među najradioaktivnije u zemlji i Evropi, po čemu je ovo prirodno lečilište poznato i van granica naše zemnje.

Lekovita mineralna voda se koristi iz tri izvora:

• Glavni izvor (38,2°-38,5° C, što ga čini homeotermom), spada među najizdašnije srpske banjske izvore;
• Suva banja (12°-37° C), čija voda spada u red radioaktivnih hipotermi i
• Školska česma (17°-19° S), čija je voda među najradioaktivnijim u Jugoslaviji – njena radiokativnost dostiže od 36,36 do 54,70 M), zbog čega se koristi samo za piće.

Vode Niške Banje primenjuju se pijenjem i kupanjem i imaju veliku medicinsku, balneološku i turističku vrednost.
Niška Banja raspolaže i velikim naslagama bigra koji je u prirodi veoma redak, jake radioaktivnosti (626 Mj), od kojeg se spravljaju blatne obloge (peloid) koji se, takođe, primenjuje u terapiji nekih bolesti.
Niška banja poznata je i po radioaktivnom gasu radon, koji se koristi za lečenje inhaliranjem.

Kaskadni vodopad u Niskoj Banji

Zbog svega toga Niska Banja pruža širok spektar mogućnosti prevencije, lečenja i rehabilitacije bolesnika oba pola, svih starosnih doba i različitog stepena bolesti i potrebe za kontrolom i odmorom.

Na području Niske Banje pronađeni su ostaci materijalne kulture koji ukazuju na to da je tu postojalo malo naselje još u praistoriji i da je ona bila naseljena i u bronzanom dobu, zatim i u gvozdenom.

Niška Banja je naročito počela da se razvija u vreme vladavine Rimljana istočnim delovima naše zemlje i u „rimsko doba cvetala je u sjaju antičke kulture“.
Pominje se još u II veku naše ere (u vreme vladavine cara Hadrijana), kada su Rimljani već izgradili kupatilo i čitav banjski kompleks, a kaptaža koju su tada izveli još služi svojoj svrsi. U V veku Huni su razorili Nišku banju, da bi bila obnovljena za vreme Vizantije, a u srednjem veku bila je poznato tursko naselje, o čemu svedoče i zapisi dubrovačkog diplomate i pesnika jakete Palmotića, iz 1667. (U tom spisu Niška Banja poredi se sa banjama u Budimu, navodeći da je već tada imala odvojena kupatila za žene i za muškarce, a da je za smeštaj posetilaca bilo podignuto nekoliko hanova.)

Krajem 1877. Niska Banja je oslobođena od Turaka i priključena Srbiji.
Kao banjsko-klimatsko lečilište počela je da se intenzivno razvija tek tridesetih godina XX veka, između dva svetska rata.
Beogradski juveliri Zaharije i Nikola Popović, otkupili su 1880. zemljište oko današnjeg hotela Ozren i na njemu iste godine podigli zgradu sa restoranom i kupatilom sa 12 mermernih kada i isto toliko soba za izdavanje gostima.
Te godine podignuta je i kafana Lovac, sa deset soba za izdavanje. Potom su sagrađene Rašićeva i Zeljakova kafana.

Bili su to prvi savremeni smeštaji za banjske goste, kojih je 1898. bilo samo – 19. Ipak, kao banjsko-klimatsko lečilište Niska Banja je počela intenzivno da se razvija tek tridesetih godina XX veka.
U periodu od 1925. do 1932, posle otkrića radioaktivnih voda, sagrađeno je više hotela:

• hotel Srbija otvoren je 1932,
• naredne godine i Zelengora,
• a 1935. sadašnji pansion Partizan.

Razvoju Banje doprinelo je i uspostavljanje tramvajskog saobraćaja od železničke stanice u Nišu do centra Banje. (Prvi tramvaj na ovoj relaciji krenuo je 12. oktobra 1930, a na svoje poslednje putovanje ispraćeni su 9. avgusta 1958.)

Danas je Niska Banja jedan od tri najposećenija i najznačajnija balneološka centra u Srbiji. Nosilac zdravstva u ovoj Banji je Institut za prevenciju, lečenje i rehabilitaciju reumatičnih i srčanih bolesnika, koji je u sastavu Medicinskog fakulteta u Nišu.

U Institutu – poseduje savremenu medicinsku opremu za primenu svih balneo-terapijskih procedura fizikalne terapije – radi tim lekara raznih specijalnosti iz oblasti interne medicine, reumatologije, fizikalne medicine i ortopedije.

U okviru ovog savremenog medicinskog kompleksa su i hoteli-stacionari – Radon,  Zelengora i Terme, i glavno banjsko kupatilo.

Osim lečenja reumatskih i srčanih bolesti i rehabilitacije bolesnika, posetiocima su na raspolaganju brojni specijalni medicinski programi:

• preventivna (rana) rehabilitacija i kontrolisana reakcija
• sagledavanje zdravstvenog stanja
• aranžman za proveru srca bolesnika s preležanim infarktom miokarda
• program „anti-celulitna terapija“
• program skidanja telesne težine
• tretman ožiljaka…

Banjski objekti smešteni su na blagoj padini – 250 m nadmorske visine – u parkovima (prostiru se na nekoliko hektara) s travnjacima i cvetnim alajema, po kojima su rasute fontane i gde krivudaju atraktivni potočići sa termomineralnom vodom, među drvoredima bagrema, jasena, lipe, duda, oraha i crnog bora…

Pored hotela, stacionara, odmarališta i kupatila, Niska Banja ima poštu, tržni centar, crkvu, galerije, biblioteku, zdravstvenu stanicu, apoteku, kazino, letnju pozornicu, raznovrsne sportske terene, bazene, dvoranu za kuglanje, trim i staze zdravlja (na vrh Koritnjaka laganim hodom stiže se za sat) i za jahanje…

Tokom cele turističke sezone u Banji se priređuju koncerti, pozorišne i filmske predstave, nastupi folklornih grupa, izložbe…

Okolina je bogata prirodnim i kulturno-istorijskim znamenitostima koji Banju čine i atraktivnim turističkim centrom.

At the foot of Mount Koritnjak (808 m) which is a section of Mt. Suva Planina (1870 m), only 10 km south-east of Nis, on the international road towards Sofia – 250 m above the sea level – lies one of the oldest spas in Serbia – Niska Spa.

The springs of this Spa issue water of diverse chemical properties that is considered one of the most radioactive waters in the country as well as in Europe, which makes this health resort known outside the borders of this country.

The curative mineral water is exploited from three springs:

• Glavni (38,2° – 38,5° C -which makes it a hyper-therm) is one of the most abundant of Serbian spa springs;
• Suva Banja (12° – 37° Q- the water of which belongs to the category of radioactive hypo-therm and
• Skolska Cesma (17° -19° C), the water of which is among the most radioactive ones in Yugoslavia – its radioactivity reaches the level of 36,36 up to 54,70 MU, which is the reason it is used solely by drinking.

The waters of Niska Spa are used by drinking and bathing and have high medical, balneological and tourist values.

Niska Spa is also rich in large supplies of calcerious tuff stone, (very rare in nature, with radioactivity level of 626 MU), which is used for mud compresses (peloid) and in treatments of some diseases.

Niska Spa is also known for its radioactive gas radon which is used for medicinal purposes by inhaling. For all of the above mentioned reasons, Niska Spa provides a wide range of possibilities for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of patients of both sexes, all age groups and various stages of illnesses and of those who need health check ups and rest.

In the area of Niska Spa, the finds have been discovered, which point to the fact that there had existed a small settlement in prehistoric times, and that the Spa was populated in the Bronze Age as well, and later on in the Iron Age.

The Spa began to develop during the rule of Ancient Romans over the eastern parts of our country, and „in Roman times it blossomed in the glow of the antique culture“. The Spa was also mentioned in the 2nd century A.D. (during the reign of Emperor Hadrian), when the Romans had already built a bath and the entire spa complex, and the spring they had tapped at that time still serves its purpose.

In the 5th century, the Huns destroyed the Spa, which was again rebuilt under the Byzantium rule.
In the Middle Ages, it served as a famous Turkish settlement, mentioned in 1667 in the testimony of Janketa Pavlovic, a diplomat and a poet from Dubrovnik. (In this testimony, Niska Spa is compared to the spas in Budim, stating that Niska Spa by then had separate baths for men and women, and that several Turkish shelters were built there for accommodation of visitors.)

By the end of 1877, Niska Spa was liberated from the Turks and joined to Serbia.
It was only in the thirties of the 20th century, between the two World Wars, that the Spa started developing more intensively as a balneological-climatic health resort.

The jewellers from Belgrade, Zaharije and Nikola Popovic, bought the land around Ozren Hotel of today in 1880, and that same year built on this allotment an edifice with a restaurant and a bath containing 12 marble bath tubs and 12 rooms for accommodation of visitors. That same year Lovac Tavern was built, with ten guest-rooms. After this Rasic’sand Zeljak’s Taverns were built. These were the first modern lodgings for the Spa guests, the number of which in 1898 reached only – 19.

Anyhow, Niska Spa started its rapid development as a balneological-climatic health resort in the thirties of the 20th century.
In the period from 1925 till 1932, after the discovery of radioactive waters, several hotels were constructd:

• Srbija Hotel was opened in 1932,
• Zelengora Hotel the following year,
• and in 1935 the today’s Partizan Boarding House.

The development of Niska Spa was aided by the introduction of the tramway line which led from the railway station in Nis to the centre of the Spa. (The first tram on this line started on October 12th, 1930, while the last tram travelled the route on August 9th, 1958.)

Niska Spa of today is one of the three most significant and most frequently visited balneological centres in Serbia.

The most important health institution in this Spa – connected to the Faculty of Medicine in Nis – is the Institute for Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation of patients suffering from rheumatism and heart problems.
A team of doctors specialised in various fields of internal medicine, rheumatology, physical medicine and orthopaedics provide medical services in the Institute, which possesses contemporary medical equipment for treatments, and applies all balneo-therapeutical procedures of physical therapy.

This contemporary medical complex also has its hotels – Radon, Zelengora and Terme, as well as the main Spa Bath.
Besides the treatment of rheumatic and heart conditions and rehabilitation, visitors also have at their disposal various special medical programmes:

• preventive (early) rehabilitation and controlled response,
• examination of overall health condition,
• anti-cellulite treatment,
• weight-loss programme,
• scar treatment…

The Spa buildings are situated on a mild slope – 250 m above the sea level – in the parks (covering the area of several hectares) with lawns and flower beds, scattered fountains, streams of mineral water winding among black locust, ash, linden, mulberry, nut and black pine trees…

Besides the hotels, dispensaries, rest homes and baths, the Spa has also got a post office, shopping centre, church, galleries, library, health station, pharmacy, casino, a summer stage, sports fields, swimming pools, a bawling alley, trim and jogging paths (an hour’s easy stroll will take you to the top of Mt. Koritnjak) and riding paths…
During the entire tourist season, concerts, theatre plays and film projections, exhibitions, folklore ensemble performances are organized in the Spa.

The surroundings are rich in natural, cultural and historic monuments which make Niska Spa an attractive tourist centre. Excursions are organized to

• Nis
• to the archaeological site of the classical summer settlement of Mediana (5 km)
• Sicevacka Gorge (4 km)
• Jelasinacka Gorge (3 km)
• Cele-Kula and Cegar monuments
• excursion site Kamenicki Vis (24 km)
• Lake Oblacinsko (28 km)
• Cerjanska Cave (20 km)
• Mali Jastrebac (44 km)…

The fact that the Niska Spa is located in the central area of Balkan Peninsula, almost at an equal distance from the Adriatic Sea, Black Sea and Aegean Sea, and its moderate-continental climate (warm and hot summers, cold winters with snow, (readily distinguishable seasons), makes it attractive for both local and foreign visitors.

The Spa offers opportunities for receiving medical treatments, as well as for recreation, rest and entertainment.
It is also suitable for symposiums, congresses, seminars, preparation of athletes…
