Abstract

The municipality of Aranđelovac with Bukovička Spa has had a tradition more than two centuries long when it comes to spa and health tourism. Aranđelovac is the third largest municipality in Šumadija district with an area of 376 km2, and the second in terms of population (41,297 inhabitants according to the 2022 census). Currently, the relatively favourable traffic and tourist position of Arandjelovac on the M4 regional road will be greatly improved by the construction of ‘Vožd Karađorđe’ highway, while the connection with emission centers will undoubtedly contribute to the development of tourism. Surrounded by Bukulja and Venčac mountains, with 25.2% of the territory under forest, the territory of Arandjelovac municipality is characterized by a moderate-continental climate, which, especially in the higher parts of the territory, has a favorable effect on the human body. Aranđelovac is known for Bukovička Banja Park (Special Hospital, Staro Zdanje, springs), Risovača Cave, the “Marble and Sounds” art exhibition, ‘Izvor’ hotel, but also the nearby famous place of Orašac with the Marićević ravine, the place known for The first Serbian uprising. The efforts of the Tourism Organization of the Municipality of Aranđelovac in recent years have been in favor of the development of specific forms of tourism, from wine and gastronomic routes, adventure tourism, fishing, events and manifestations, to cultural and historical tours. Everything that rural tourism can offer takes a special place in all of this, which represents a significant opportunity and development trend in the tourist market, but also an important opportunity for the revitalisation of the Arandjelovac municipality
