In the morning we will cross the river Sava and travel northwards to Vojvodina, the province which lies in the Panonian plain.
Our first stop will be in the NATIONAL PARK OF FRUSKA GORA, at the KRUSEDOL MONASTERY which is considered one of the most important cultural centres of Serbians in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Later we will stroll through the baroque town of SREMSKI KARLOVCI, the spiritual, political and cultural centre of Serbs during the Habsburg Monarchy. This charming town is a centre of wine production including the famous Bermet dessert wine, which was found on the Titanic’s wine list. During the Habsburg Empire Sremski Karlovci used this wine as a bribe to soften Austrian authorities.
Next we will head to NOVI SAD for a walking tour of the old part of the town with its narrow side streets lined with historical buildings and enjoy the slow pace and relaxed atmosphere. The city centre abounds with buildings of different architectural periods, including gothic, baroque, secession and neoclassical.
After lunch we will cross one of the bridges over the Danube to visit the PETROVARADIN FORTRESS, erected by Austrians during 99 years as a military fort to reinforce their defence against the Ottomans. The four-story structure, which has been called the “GIBRALTAR ON THE DANUBE”, features 16 km of underground galleries, 12,000 gun holes and 13 gates. The fortress was built on a high cliff and overlooks the Danube and the town of Novi Sad.
