To One of the Most Attractive in Serbia!

We had not need to be told for long that Sremski Karlovski is one of the most attractive towns in Serbia to check it out ourselves! Fishermen in Belgrad stood in the rain while pulling out one or the other meager fish while we jumped onto a bus (1.20h, BAC station next to the railway station, with many daily connections, SEVERTRANSPO bus company comes recommended, as well as LASTA - tickets are issued immediately, and the place is well run - see http://www.bas.rs/basweb_eng/RedVoznje.aspx?lng=en) not to see any further drop of rain all day! So sunglasses on some 80km North of Belgrade!

And H3 found a great little place full of cachet, lions, figures and more looking down on and at us, and definitely a feel of a place where we will return back many more times! One of the specialities of the place is Guggelhopf (sold in a tiny little place), introduced by German settlers!

An amazing old Platane tree in the yard of the lower church! If it stood there already when the Austrians and Turks signed their peace agreement in the 18th century in Sremski Karlovski? And what more has it since seen?

In the little place called after the famous four lions on the central square we tried Voivodina fish soup - of course this dish too is prepared with lots of red and not so hot peppers (the place comes recommended due to its extremely friendly service)!

Lots and lots to be explored next time. Definitely the wine cellars of the town, then much more of the immensly wide Danube down at the Danube hotel (bikes for hire, directly on the Danube cycling path, the hotel itself Kitsch, but next to it a great place with wooden tables under trees right on the Danube, and the Danube itself several 100m wide!) and then for sure venturing off biking into Fruska Gora National Park! We equipped ourselves in the shops of the town with all availabe maps and now can hardly wait for warmer temperatures to come. Even more after the conductor of the train we took back home (1.45h, leaving 18.05) reassured us that bikes on board will be allowed, for about 50cents per piece!
