Banovci: Thermal Water, Saunas and Cycling Routes

In Banovci, you can consider thermal water, walking or cycling tours, and activities along the Mura as different focuses for planning your trip. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Banovci, it helps to first consider which of these activities you want to shape your stay.

Thermal Water, Saunas and Family Activities

Terme Banovci offers eight pools with regular and healing thermal water. The Banovci thermal spring brings fluorine-rich water to the surface from a depth of 1,700 metres. The sauna programme also offers a variety of experiences: sauna sessions take place during the full moon and new moon, as well as with beer, chocolate or fruit. Programme details may vary seasonally. While the timing is central to the moon sauna sessions, beer, chocolate or fruit shape the other options. If a particular sauna offering is a deciding factor for your trip, it is advisable to check the programme in advance. The pools show what is available for bathing; the depth indicates the origin of the thermal water.

Terme Banovci is considered family-oriented. Warm thermal water, children's pools and entertainment programmes for young visitors define this character. For travellers who also take the interests of younger visitors into account when choosing a destination, this focus is a separate consideration alongside the pools and different sauna options.
