Surrounded by the woody slopes of the Mounts of Rajac (848 m) and Rudnik (1132 m), Ljig – proclaimed as small town in 1922 -is situated by the picturesque valley of the river of the same name, the right-hand tributary of the Kolubara.
This small town is at the border of Sumadia region and the Kolubara, at the altitude of 152 m, near the busy Ibar motorway, about 70 km south-west of Belgrade and 80 km away from Cacak..

The Spa of Ljig – named after the river which divides it into two parts -located in the town itself – right beside the Ibar motorway, has attracted increasing number of visitors in the last years. Its thermo-mineral waters (32.7° – 55 °C) are exploited from several springs. The waters of Ljig Spa are used by bathing and drinking and mud-bathing, with the mud brought from the Spa of Bujanovac.
With the construction and up-to-date equipping of its physio-therapeutic centre, the town of Ljig also becomes a known medical centre where, under the supervision of medical experts, complete spa treatment is conducted: hydrotherapy (bathing in pools and drinking of the water), as well as electric, magnetic and kinesis therapies, heat procedures, massage… while there is also acupuncture as an alternative therapy.
