Negorci Spa Resort

Negorski Banji (Negorci Spa) is a modern health and tourist centre for prolonged treatment and rehabilitation, set 3 km from Gevgelija at the foot of Mount Kozuf, surrounded by a rare ash-tree forest that forms a natural park of about 22 hectares.

Thermal-mineral water and springs

The mineral waters have been documented since 1864; the spa was established in 1950. The area has two springs, the "Hot Bath" and the "Cold Bath": the water in the hot bath has a temperature of 40 °C and the cold bath 37 °C. The water contains calcium, magnesium, rubidium, cesium, radon and other minerals.

Baths, pools and therapies

A pool is available. A team of physical-medicine and rehabilitation specialists, a general practitioner, nurses, physiotherapists and masseurs provide care. Available therapies include:

• Electrotherapy (diadynamic, interferential, galvanic, electrophoresis, electrostimulation)
