Slavonia - The Pannonian Sea

Routes of the Pannonian Sea

THE SLAVONIA ROUTE

Once an endless blue expanse of sea, today it glistens in gold and its islands are green mountains. All that is left of the great waters are tiny shells in the fertile plains of Slavonia. Yet the waters are still here - three great rivers, the Sava, the Drava, and the Danube hold this region in their embrace. People knew that in this area, to which nature was so generous, they would have a good home. However, the long-gone Pannonian Sea did leave its trace: a single saltwater spring in Bizovec. Its temperature (96°C) is unique in Europe. This alluring natural environment was greatly appreciated by the nobility, so much so that they built their castles here, indulged in hunting, fishing and, of course, the wines - which were also much appreciated in the courts of Europe and savoured at coronation ceremonies. The wine cellars of Ilok, Kutjevo, Erdut, Đakovo, and Baranja are world famous. Now we can all enjoy the magic of times gone by. Following the Routes of the Pannonian Sea, discover the lovely songs of the area accompanied by tambouritzas, and enjoy the parades of people dressed in their colourful and festive folk costumes, men with their 'šokački' hats and young women with their gold ducat necklaces. The city of Vinkovci - the oldest continuously inhabited city in Europe. The town of Županja - the first town where football and tennis were played. Vukovar - the hero city.

The State Stud Lipik was founded by Count Izidor Janković in 1843, and since that date the breeding and the selection of the Lipizzaner breed has been developing. The untouched nature, spending time with Lipizzaner horses, horseback riding and rides in the 'fijaker' carriages in Lipik are only one part of the tourist offer that attracts many visitors every year.
