Set of for Niska Banja hoping for a dip in the thermal waters. Nice location in the hills. After doing a bit of research it appears the waters have a high Radon content due to a bedrock of travertine. I guess the spa's name "Radon" should have given us a clue. No massages available either so we set off to the picturesque Sicava gorge, through 13 tunnels. Meandered around trying to find a stopping place and ended up on an ever narrowing lane, sustaining multiple scratches by low trees. Paused for a cuppa then decided to call it a day in this area due lack of riverside stops. Drove on an hour to Sokobanja. The spa was a bit grotty (unlike the photos) and the pools too deep to stand in which was uncomfortable however we had a cheap massage which made up for it a bit. Walked into town for a meal of a delicious bigos style dish and decided to stay at the spa car park for the night.
