Steam lifts from mineral pools in the morning cool. Pine trails climb the lower slopes of Borja, and the Usora runs quiet past cafés in town. A short drive brings hill viewpoints, spa lawns and village paths, with Tešanj’s hilltop castle and the Vrbas-side city of Banja Luka within reach.

Top story from Teslić Start at Banja Vrućica where warm mineral water gathers in outdoor pools and lawns open to pine. After a soak, follow a short forest path for resin scent and birdsong above the spa.
Late morning, drive to a Borja viewpoint for a look across rolling ridges, then continue to Tešanj for stone lanes and a climb to the castle walls. Pause for thick coffee in town before an easy return. Read more in our Tešanj Castle guide and our Banja Luka destination page for a larger city pairing.
