BAČKI MONOŠTOR – FEEL THE MAGIC OF THE VILLAGE ON SEVEN DANUBES

This is one of the westernmost cities of Vojvodina, tucked in the heart of the Upper Danube Special Nature Reserve, surrounded by the Danube, its bayous, the Danube-Tisa-Danube Channel and the Baja Channel. It represents a real jewel of natural beauty, ethnological heritage, customs and old crafts. As if time had stopped here, a visit to this unusual Vojvodina village makes you feel the breath of old times as you experience something unforgettable. The village can only be entered through one of the bridges, so it is practically located on an island.

Vacation in the village gives you the opportunity to try the best fish stew with a recipe from top chefs, to enjoy the taste of homemade brandy with the best stories and revived anecdotes, to take part in the preparation of home-made treats, pickled vegetables and fruit preserves for winter, and other delicacies. Here you can become part of a nostalgic past transported by the fragrance of quince from the cupboards in ethno houses keeping times past – our grandmothers’ times, times of gatherings for wool spinning, divans, maiden poems, children’s’ laughter and mischief. Also, you can sail here on a boat to the surrounding Danubian bayous and canals, to witness the fact that Monoštor is indeed a village on the seven Danubes, ride a bicycle on all charted and uncharted paths to choose your most ideal fishing site. In August, you can hear a mating call of a deer from the marsh inspiring awe for these magnificent animals. In the village there is the possibility of riding on a carriage, getting acquainted with the old crafts that have been preserved here, so here you are welcomed by a cattail weaver, a woodcarver, a clog maker, a blacksmith, a basket weaver, a natural materials souvenir maker, and manual producer of traditional folk costumes.
