Location
The Symposium is going to be held in Sokobanja, a spa set between two mountains, a true oasis of fresh air with numerous springs of mineral water.
Its unique position on the slopes of mountain Ozren and the proximity of Mt. Rtanj contributes to its unique characteristics.
Sokobanja is set in particular surroundings of the river Moravica, Bovan lake (sr. Bovansko jezero), and the largest waterfall in Serbia – Ripaljka. Sokobanja is surrounded by numerous cultural attractions and historical monuments like the ancient cities of Soko grad, Bovan and Vrmidža. A steep cliff with Sokograd, medieval stone fortress, rises above the spa.
The Residence of Prince Miloš Obrenović, built in the 19th century, is situated in the very center of Sokobanja, as well as the “hamam“, an old Turkish bath, from the 15th century.
Sokobanja is rich in natural curative thermo mineral springs and gas. Pure mountain air and mild continental climate contribute to its popularity. Sokobanja is well known for the prevention and treatment of numerous diseases.
However, Sokobanja will offer you lots of sports and recreation activities. Tennis, football, basketball courts, and numerous recreational centres will meet all your recreation and active vacation needs. Adventurists have numerous hiking tours and cave visits at their disposal.
Sokobanja is connected to the Belgrade-Niš highway via Aleksinac, and from there to all other areas of Serbia. Niš is only 60 km from the spa, and from the Bus station in Niš, trips to Soko Banja are frequent. Belgrade is 240km from the spa, and there are also many buses towards it from the Belgrade bus station.
