Zaječar is an unavoidable stop for those who visit Gamzigrad, and reverse. Gamzigrad spa has termal water and it is decorated with motifs from the imperial palace. This solution makes a lot of sense because the healing water was brought to the Felix Romuliana thermal baths via an above-ground aqueduct. According to some authors, Galerius chose the place for the construction of his endowment precisely because of the proximity of medicinal geothermal springs, and also because the mother of the great emperor suffered from gout. It is believed that what is good for the undeserved goddess is also good for ordinary people who suffer from rheumatism. The people of this area called this water divine and holy, so they put coins in the springs and lit candles next to the springs, which shows that they knew how to appreciate the values of nature, or as it would now be called ecosystem services.

Within the project “Heritage Walks & Talks” project, we are developing a new cultural and tourist product that will be able to be used freely by individual tourists, as well as travelers in groups. The concept we want to present to you is conceived as a walk through heritage, and we will be able to use it when we want to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of the Western Balkans, especially the heritage that is still modestly derived from the traditions of local communities and that all the visitors have yet to find out.
