Abstract

Of the thermal waters of Višegrad in Bosnia one source (Sokolovic' Bath) issues from a fault about 10 meters above the valley floor, while the water from the second source (Caid's Bath) passes extensive calcareous sinter deposits and issues at the left bank of a brook. Its water has lost part of its calcium und iron in the sinter, but on the other hand its radioactivity has increased 7,27-fold due to secondary accumulation of uranium in the sinter. The mechanism of this accumulation is discussed .
