JUNAKOVIĆ SPA, one of the three famous Vojvodina spas, recommended to the guests under the slogan Your Part of the Pannonian Sea, is 4.5 km far from the beer town Apatin and the Danube, 75 km from Subotica, 115 km from Novi Sad and 190 km from Belgrade. And whatever the distance may be, one can reach it fast and easy, especially if one wants rest and relaxing.
The Junaković Spa thermal springs were discovered already in 1913. A year later, the water analysis was carried out in Budapest and it was classified at the same level by its physical/chemical characteristics as the curing waters of famous spas, such as Karlove Vary, Harkány and Lipik. There passed a lot of time from the idea to realization. Thus, only in 1983, the Junaković Spa reached its full shine.

The curing water, coming out from the depth of 700 meters and having the temperature of about 50°C has to be cooled for use. It is as curing and with a slightly salt taste in the swimming pools as in the hotel taps. Hence, one may ’have a bath’ also in one’s own bathroom, but only bottled water may be used for drinking.

| THE SPA GOT ITS NAME BY THE HEROES |
Among many legends speaking of the spa name origin, the most symphatetic is the one saying the Uskok pirates used to live in the nearby Stapar, cruising on the Danube and robbing the rich men. They were brave in the fight and by them (junak = hero), the heroes, the spa actually got its name.
