Next, continue to the Pozar Baths, located at the foot of Mount Voras. This natural thermal spa is set amidst a stunning landscape of mountains, forests, and rivers, making it an idyllic spot to unwind and connect with nature.
The Pozar Baths are renowned for their healing properties, with naturally heated water temperatures of around 37°C (98.6°F). The thermal waters are rich in minerals, making them beneficial for skin health, relaxation, and relieving muscle and joint pain.

Take a stroll along the lush trails that surround the baths, or relax by the river that winds through the area, enjoying the serene ambiance of this hidden gem.
