Tuesday's Dream Place to Visit

   Vrnjačka Banja, a place both of us visited on several occasions (whether together or separately) is a municipality and a resort in Raška Distict of Serbia, 200 km away from Belgrade, Serbian capital. The place has a very long history- namely, the Romans build a health resort there, Aqua Orcinae, during the second century AD. The modern development of Vrnjačka Banja began in 1868, thanks to Osnivačko Društvo, the oldest tourism organisation on the Balkans.  It has 7 mineral springs, 4 from which are used for medical purposes and it is said that it contains the world's only hot spring with a temperature measuring exactly that of the human body (36.5ºC).  So not only that it is healthy, but it also has some amazing sights: nature is breathtaking, there's a lot of eye catching architecture, houses and villas, and, of course, Gočko the sparrow, who became the mascot of Vrnjačka Banja.  One of the main attractions is The Bridge of Love, where couples leave numerous love padlocks as a sign of their everlasting love. After people bind their love with a padlock to the railing, the keys should be thrown down into the river below, so they cannot be found ever again.
