Thermal baths in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bathing in Bosnia and Herzegovina's warm springs goes back to Roman times, when sulphur springs at Ilidža, on the edge of Sarajevo, grew into a spa town. The word for bath, banja, is still part of many place names, and the spas of the north around Banja Luka draw on the same kind of thermal mineral water.
