Llixhat e Peshkopisë sits on the Banja torrent roughly 2 km east of Peshkopi in the mountainous Dibër region of northeastern Albania. Two separate groups of springs feed the site: the main complex, at 35-43.5°C, and a smaller group about 600 meters away producing slightly cooler water at 29.2-35.5°C. The water's sulphur concentration is unusually high - visitors are asked to remove all metal jewelry except gold before entering, since the sulphurous water tarnishes other metals almost immediately. The state-operated facility offers changing rooms and supervised treatment for respiratory conditions, rheumatism, diabetes, and skin complaints, with access from town by minibus, alongside a separate free outdoor basin fed by the same natural spring. The complex is oriented toward multi-day therapeutic stays rather than casual day visits, though day access is possible.
