ABOUT THIS ATTRACTION
The park is the spa: lawns, bandstands and the fountains of the seven springs — each with its own mineral character (Topla voda at 36°C is the famous one; Snežnik the cold iron water). The interwar villas and the promenade keep the belle-époque style; the drinkers with their cups walk the circuit as they have for a century.
HISTORY & BACKGROUND
The story behind it
The springs were formalized in 1833–34 under prince Miloš; the park was laid out in the royal summers of 1880s–1930s — the villas, bandstand and promenade are that era’s legacy. The bottled waters (Vrnjci) are Serbia’s best-known mineral waters.
